Children are all expected to do the same thing. Adults restrict objects to certain locations and do not tolerate hoarding, collecting, or carrying. Adults ignore disputes leading to a chaotic atmosphere or punish infractions harshly, frightening and humiliating children. Children are received coldly and given no individual attention. Toddlers are expected to begin the day with free play and little adults supervision.
Adults are aggressive, shout, or exhibit a lack of coping behaviors under stress.
Adult attempts to punish or control the aggressive toddler escalate the hostility. Child Care Talk by Renee is an online resource center for parents of young children.
