6 Ways to Meet Your Toddler's Needs

Parent Cue
Toddlers get a bad rap. Sure they whine and throw tantrums. But can you blame them? There’s a lot going on in those pint-sized bodies.
By age two, your little one will grow to half their adult height—something they’ll spend the next two decades reaching. And their shape will morph from one designed for doing a whole bunch of nothing to one that can crawl, walk and run.
With the world at their fingertips, there’s still so much they can’t do. That’s where you come in.

Book Recommendations

To be an exceptional parent, you need to be an intentional parent. Fortunately, help is available by veteran parents and best-selling authors, Doug Fields and Cathy Fields—they want to help you move from Quick-Fix Parenting to Intentional Parenting. They’ve put together a workbook that provides you with 10 actions that will impact the future of your children. These 10 actions are doable! You can get started implementing these ideas into your parenting and you will see immediate results in your child—no matter their age.
It’s NEVER too early to start?
  • Do you want to see your children display confidence?
  • Do you want to see your children develop character?
  • Do you want to see your children have strong convictions?
  • Do you want to see your children express compassion?
  • Ultimately, do you want to see your children grow up to be competent young adults?
If so, this is the guide to help you achieve those results.
This WORKBOOK is a combination book & study guide. Read, reflect, write, practice and change. You and your child will be glad you did!
Parents have approximately 936 weeks from the time their child is born until he or she graduates from high school. It goes by fast. The responsibility to shape a child’s faith and character can seem overwhelming.

If you are a parent, you have probably realized by now that you can’t make a toddler share. Can’t force a child to have faith. Can’t compel a teenager to make smart decisions.

But there is something parents can do. They can make this week count. And then do it again, and again.
