Hilary Swank, who welcomed twins Aya and Ohm in April 2023, is reframing the challenging phase of toddlerhood from the 'terrible twos' to 'teachable twos.' She emphasizes that toddlers are overwhelmed by new experiences, lacking logical reasoning, thus their behavior is often emotional. Swank advocates for parents to remain calm and patient during meltdowns, highlighting her personal growth as an older mom. She believes her increased patience and grace significantly enhance her parenting approach compared to her younger years, resulting in a well-rounded environment for her children.
To me, teachable twos is, I think, more fitting. Because I feel like they're just in this place where they're recognizing so many new things.
The best way to approach her toddlers having a meltdown is to be patient. It's really important to regulate yourself and just stay calm.
I'm in a place where I just have a lot more patience and a lot more grace to give, not just my children, but others around me.
Since toddlers don't have logical reasoning skills yet, their behavior is often driven by their feelings.
