This is a YouTube video titled "Try this: stop saying 'NO' to your toddler!" containing a single-speaker instructional message recorded in January 2025. The speaker advises parents on positive communication strategies with toddlers by replacing negative commands with clear, concrete instructions to improve toddler behavior.
Stop saying no to your toddler. Okay, you're gonna have to say no to them sometimes, but I needed to stop your scroll for this important message. Toddlers are concrete little thinkers. When we tell them, don't do something, they then have to figure out what it is we want them to do. That's an abstract concept. Try this. Instead of Levi, don't hit your sister. Try Levi. Use gentle hands. I'll show you. Or instead of Emma, don't get out of bed, say Emma, stay in bed with your eyes closed and your mouth closed. Try it. Let me know how it goes.
