Whenever a toddler sees a pile of blocks, he wants to tear it down.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Kids don't like being put into boxes, and your kid can act in different ways in different situations.
It's very hard when your child doesn't want to talk to you and you want to talk to them, and you want to touch them, you want to hold them.
About 100 things that your kid will do that will surprise you and break your heart and it will be a combination of fact based therapy, medically advised kinds of passages accompanied by celebrity anecdotes and just some funny stuff to lighten the load.
Having toddlers always means that there's a fair amount of chaos at home, but that's part of the fun.
Once you're done with the film, it's almost like empty nest syndrome: your kid has moved out of the house.
If the child has not an object that it can occupy itself with, it feels ennui; for it does not yet know how to occupy itself with itself.

It's extraordinary what children put up with. I happened to see two of my uncles put my father up against the wall of my grandmother's house and knock his teeth out, because he'd been unpleasant to my mother. The next day I went upstairs and found my father making a rather half-hearted attempt to gas himself.
The fundamental job of a toddler is to rule the universe.
