275. Q&A: How can I help my child learn to be patient when she wants my attention immediately?

Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg and I talk about...

- What is developmentally typical for 2-year-olds when it comes to manners and patience?

- Understanding impulse control, joint attention, and attunement - and how to use these 3 things to help you know how to respond to your child when they are demanding your attention.

- When to pause to validate your child's desire, and when it’s okay to ignore their request.

- How to help your child tolerate waiting (no matter how big their reaction is to being told they need to wait.)

- How to collaboratively problem solve with your child to come up with strategies around what they CAN do to interrupt you when they need your attention.
