- Always remember to speak in positive terms instead of negative terms. Instead of saying "Stop that", learn to say exactly what you want your toddler to do instead.

- Learn to raise your voice only when you absolutely must. Raising you voice always will eventually make your toddler to ignore you as he or she is being conditioned unconsciously to treat it as normal.

- Be a kid and enter your toddler's world. Learn how to play with your toddler first before you can tell him or her what you really want them to do.
