Had a win with my terrible toddler


First we come to a gated entrance. Usually he screams that he wants to push the buttons, and if I don't let him, he goes into a tantrum. If I do let him, he calls random people in the apartment complex. This time I was carrying flowers and him due to another tantrum.. He's throwing a tantrum again, pressing buttons, randomly calling someone, someone answers, opens the door, he's screaming, so I just ask if he needs a hug, he gets a hug and then I carry him back without crying. Then we get home and my wife hands me the 1 year old, except the toddler needs his hands washed. Usually this involves a lot of crying on his part because ..washing hands, that's boring, he already knows how to do that. So I get another big brain moment. I ask him if he wants to teach his younger sister how to wash hands.. and it worked, he proudly washed his hands, and I said, "See, this is how you wash hands! Wow look at them, they're so clean!" and he walked off proudly. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/3y1fpE4
