Coping with the Caveman in the Crib

“The thing about toddlers is that they are uncivilized,” Dr. Karp says. “Our job is to civilize them, to teach them to say please and thank you, don’t spit and scratch and don’t pee anywhere you want. These are the jobs you have with a toddler.”

The article amused me.

Funny. I would have a hard time talking like that in public.

I was curious was health problems could be effecting the toddler who tantrums all the time. Cause I've certainly known those kids and they had no know health problems.

Imagine a classroom of them.......

It's a really good metaphor. They really can be quite uncivilized.

"We are the namers of things."

Man I wish I could remember who I'm quoting when I say that, but it's our #1 job as parents, IMHO.
