toddler is PRAISE
Autonomy vs Shame & Doubt
- By Erik Erikson
- Goal is to establish autonomy and the
conflict is if the toddler doubts himself.
- Sense of autonomy means independence
How are you going to establish Autonomy?
- By allowing a toddler to explore the
environment with limitations if safety is
compromised.
- Perform toilet training
- Allow the toddler to choose (simple decision)
- Toddlers are manipulative, negativistic, so
be consistent. (key for good discipline is by
being consistent)
- Nagkakaron ng temper tantrums (non
verbal) pag di nakuha gusto, so ignore the
tantrums. (marerealize nyang di lahat
makukuha nya)
● If tantrums can hurt the toddler, do
not ignore but do not talk to the
toddler.
● After tantrums, talk to the toddler (do
not scold)
- Do not force but encourage to share.
Note: wag bibili nang mamahaling laruan pag
toddler.
Why are parents the most significant person for
a toddler?
- Parents for them are omnipotent, authority,
that's why toddlers learn morality from
parents. As long as there is one parent in
the house, they feel secure.
