We would all be a lot healthier and happier if we behaved more like toddlers. I observe my 18 month old and realize that everything you need to know about relationships and emotional and physical health you can learn from them.
I offer:
We Should Be More Like Toddlers
Sit in laps often.
When you’re angry at someone, go ahead and let them know immediately. Yell at them once. Then forget it 30 seconds later.
Squat. Climb. Run. Roll around on the floor. Keep moving, until it’s time to nap. A rolling stone gathers no moss.
Get happy and excited about things like: your water cup. A puppy. Spotting the moon. Going outside. A favorite book.
Say few things. But say them so cute that everyone stops what they’re doing to listen.
Ask for what you want. Eventually, someone will appear and help you get it.
When you do something good, applaud yourself. Don’t wait for others to notice.
Eat a few bites. Then run around a lot.
If you want love, ask someone to rock you.

My favorite, clapping for ourselves…LOL!! So true!
i love it!
I love my 18 month old. He is just thrilled to sit in my laugh, put random things on his head and just laugh when he is not being terrorized by his older brothers and sisters.
