Biting! For the mischievous toddler.
Eons ago I worked in a daycare where I was surrounded by toddlers 18 months to 3 years. We helped them learn to eat, talk, potty and most of to play together. Their favorite words were "mine", "no" and "mommy" for those that still had separation anxiety. We tried our best to make "please" an integral part of their new vocabulary.
We had a couple that were biters and would bite the other child if they took their toy. Or hitters if biting is too violent for TS4. We had to watch them extra close. We had a time out corner where they would sit if they misbehaved too badly or broke the rules. With 15 or so toddlers running around they learned the rules faster than you would think! We didn't have a school full of little monsters. Most were well behaved most of the time, but there was always something.
We had play time, story time, sing a long time, outdoor play time, snack time, nap time and the most hectic of all - lunch time! Some could feed themselves and others needed more help. They less self sufficient were put in high chairs where the older ones would get to sit in a booster chair at the big table. It was a right of passage to move to the big table.
For nap time they slept on little cots that were low to the ground so they wouldn't fall off and hurt themselves.
They learned how to put away their toys, take turns and share. Some of the favorite indoor toys were the wooden puzzles, coloring, giant building blocks and the standard baby dolls and cars. Outdoors were the sandbox, swings and slides, more large building blocks and the big cars they could sit in and scoot with their little legs.
And I am happy to see so many new posters!
