Toddler support

[TheOnlyHonestOne]

Hi everyone, I just wanted to put a note on here to thank everybody. A lady started a thread awhile ago, about putting a toddler in their cot for a time out for 10 minutes because she was struggling.

Lots of people were very kind, honest and supported that approach. I have since taken that approach myself, although the toddler at times doesn’t really like it, it has absolutely change my life and gives me 10 minutes breathing space to calm down, have a cup of tea, and come back to the situation.

I just want to say thank you to everyone on here for being kind and supportive. There is so much mum, guilt and criticism in today’s parenting world, and support on here is really invaluable.

It's such a great idea isn't it, it gives you a chance to center and regroup your emotions. There's a lot of pressure and guilt in motherhood isn't there, so it's handy to find ways to help ourselves parent the best we can :)
