Understanding a Three-Year-Old's Behavior

When children exhibit extreme behavioral changes, like crankiness, frustration, and emotional outbursts around the age of three, it is essential to shift perspectives and view these reactions as a natural part of development. Rather than perceiving these behaviors as intentional defiance, it is crucial to understand that young children often express their feelings through actions like yelling and changing their minds frequently. By allowing children to release their emotions without judgment or attempts to control, parents can support their emotional growth and development.
