Self-Control

Pushing Boundaries

Your baby is learning more about himself as an individual these days. He not only knows his name by now, but he also knows his own mind, perhaps pushing away food he doesn't like, deciding which books to look at, and becoming upset if another child takes a favorite toy. You may also see him starting to test limits more these days, looking for your response to certain actions to learn what is right from wrong. Just remember to stay patient with him during this time and remind him where the boundaries are so that he learns what appropriate behavior is.
