” Now!”, could well be a toddler’s middle name. Active toddlers live in the present, have a hard time waiting, and are very curious about their surroundings. They are highly motivated to get down to the business of using all their senses to explore where they happen to be!
Caregivers who are caring, patient, and know when a toddler really needs to be interrupted when engaged, are definitely right on target.
Toddlers need consistent reminders and gentle guidance when teachers set clear boundaries, and give toddlers time to express needs, and interests, they help them to thrive.
