Toddlers have a very short attention span and are easily diverted so use this to your advantage. On the verge of a strop (the toddler’s not yours) or just starting to do something you rather they didn’t, distract them. ‘Did you see that bird out the window? Quick let’s see if it’s still there!’ ‘Quick, come and see the spider running under the bed.’ Ok, there was no bird or spider but they don’t know that and while they’re looking for them they have completely forgotten what they were about to do. Use your imagination. Never forget you’re an adult and they are not yet four.
