The hardest thing i've ever tried explaining to a toddler is why her daddy can't live with her and her mummy anymore.

With my twins it is why I can not be two places at once I always have one of them mad at me.

why his doggy isn't at home anymore.
by Nadia on January 21st, 2009
that she cant have chocolate milk because its finished.
ice cream+chocolate is a luxury not a necessity!
to let mommy sleep a little longer..
the concept of money, shops, that not everything is theirs for the taking,lol!
tying shoes,not nagging..that their older brother is not a toy..dont break him.
and if you have a stubborn little diva like i have,, compromise....

The word NO is correct. this should be the first word taught and to make sure it is understood.
No for eletrical outlets, no for cabinet doors with laudry products inside, no for objects being put into the mouth, and no for all weapons in the house.
Hopefully, the above hazards have already been taken care of.
No is definetely the first word a toddler should know and understand.

The reason they can no longer have a pacifier. 2 yr olds just don't get it... even when you pretend to give it to the fairies who will bring them gifts!
*It has been a rough few nights...
by Brandaleena on September 24th, 2009
That even though mommy and daddy don't live together anymore, we both love her very much and would do anything for her.
Then when he leaves after dropping her off or visiting with her, holding her as she cries "daddy no, come back!", I explain to her that daddy is going to his home where he lives and we'll see him again soon.

Well my sister is potty training her todler and i think that the hardest thing to explain to them is how to pee or poop.

What "AHH AHH AHH" means, all you Mums out there will have uttered those noises when you see them doing something that will hurt them but you can't get the words out quick enough hey?

Why their daddy is not around. If a toddler has a dead beat loser Dad, there is no easy way to answer their questions and fill the void in their heart.

Why they cannot tell me no until they pay rent.
by Pinkheavens on February 20th, 2008
I would definitely say TIME! They can't differentiate 20 mins or 2 hours...They just know they have to wait for something and get frustrated because of not knowing how long that will actually be! :)

Why he is not big enough to have a dirt bike, drive a car, or have a cell phone. My five year old is growing up to fast for his own good.
by Anae413 on January 13th, 2008
In my experience so far the hardest thing i ever had to explain to my kids was why they were different. male/female parts and of course our all time favorite where do babies come from.

That they must use the potty now instead of having diapers.
by polly_pearl on November 21st, 2007
Death. It's hard to explain that someone is never coming back, and that we can't know for sure what happened to them, after they went away. Unless we lie and say that they are surely happy, because who really knows.

by Pensive on July 7th, 2007
The word, NO! >>> Because it is like, a toddler's JOB to touch and explore everything in sight. They almost can not, not do it! This is how they are learning, and it is unfair to expect a toddler to have the ability to control his impulses and curiosity. You have to take the responsibility of removing off- limit stuff from his grasp, or removing him from the temptation.
