After a couple years, your “new arrival” is no longer quite so new. He looks a little tarnished, in fact, from the bruises and dings sustained from running through the house at full speed and occasionally into a wall or piece of furniture. (Ouch! That one hurt.) But few things are more lovable than a toddler’s face. So you grab him and kiss all those boo-boos away as you wonder how in the world you’re supposed to teach with this bundle of energy in tow. Not quite old enough for preschool stuff, toddlers spend most of their time getting into things and trying to elicit yet another “No” from the overseeing parental unit. Toddlerhood ranges from just walking through the terrible twos.

Grab some hot chocolate, take a deep breath, and hold on for the ride. Although the toddler years aren’t the time to begin that far-reaching toothpick project you promised to your 8-year-old child, you can still keep enough hold on your schedule and your sanity to make it through the year and know that everyone came close to meeting their educational goals. Who knows? You may even surpass your wildest expectations.
