2. Lead By Example
‘Leading by example’ can be a way to train our
children to do things in certain ways that we
want them to follow. Toddlers are at the stage
where they like to mimic .
Amanda, 35, has shared how she used to have
difficulties getting her 2-year-old son to drink
water. She had to always use new methods to
make him drink and one effective way she
adopted was to give him a small cup of water.
The cup was small enough to be held with his
small palm, but he refused to drink. What she did
was to get herself a cup of water, drink in front of
her son and acted as if the water was so nice in
taste. Her son ended up drinking and finishing
the cup of water.
