I found the course very helpfull.
I enjoyed this course to the fullest. Teaching 2year olds can be very challenging but after the information I got, my little tantrums have another thing coming. I learnt that validating their feelings plays a big roll in overcoming the terrible twos. Thank you for putting together such needed course, it really helped
Good and interesting
Children throw tatrum at the age of two years. Help children to be strong on their emotions. Promoting the emotional and well being.
The course gives the information on how to handle a child and understanding them .It teaches you the technics that you can use when they cry,shout and throw tantrums.How to deal with children emotionally and physically.
It was a good course for me as I learnt on several ways on how to respond to child’s trantrums and I also understood that it’s a phase that a child must pass through it’s actually not a problem.
I learn alot about how to understand the emotion of a two year old and how to be around them and alot about them
The information was informative and also a good reminder to go back to basics when dealing with our 2 year olds.
