Student Ratings & Reviews
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.
