Article: You will want to start teaching your child good, healthy behaviors and responses to stimulus as early as you possibly can. When you see them developing bad behaviors, don't let those behaviors slide or dismiss it as something that they'll grow out of. Tell them that what they did was wrong or bad and then show them a better way to act.  You also want to always model good behavior, in order to help your child learn. When they catch you doing something “naughty”, let them put you in time out for a few minutes. Use positive language to focus on the behavior. Instead of saying “No, don't hit,” say “We use gentle touches.” When your child does something right or well, you should reward that behavior. This is called positive reinforcement and teaches your child to associate good things happening with behaving well. If you focus on really using this kind of feedback most of the time, then your toddler should be much more inclined toward good behavior.  Positive reinforcement doesn't need to be a treat like a piece of candy either (although you can do this sometimes). Positive reinforcement can be a hug, getting to sleeping in the bed with you, or getting to play their favorite game with you. Give your child twice the amount of praise compared to every negative correction. The terrible twos are a normal part of child development that centers around testing boundaries and figuring out how to be an independent person. It is important that you use this time to set boundaries for your child and teach them that those boundaries are firm. If you do not do this, then your child is likely to have behavior problems for many years. Your child needs to know that when you tell them no or tell them to do something, you mean it. Negotiations mean more arguments.  For example, let's say that you let little Jon have a dessert after finishing all his food. Now, he finishes almost all of his food except for a bite or two (probably the peas, right?). You should not compromise here and give him the dessert because he will try this again but finish even less of the food the next time. Another example would be with bedtimes. Let's say that you have a rule that little Sara needs to be reading herself to sleep by 7:30 pm, right after finishing dinner and brushing her teeth. She should not be allowed to get distracted by her new toy that grandma brought over and interrupt her usual routine. The toy can wait until the morning, even if it means a tantrum now. One of the reasons why toddlers have such magnificent meltdowns at this time in their lives is because they have many feelings that they don't know how to process or communicate. Imagine you had something making you really upset and you didn't know how to fix it and you didn't have anyone to talk to. You'd be pretty grumpy too! If you give your toddler a way to communicate their feelings and ask for the things they want, then they'll be much better able to cope with these strong feelings.  Teach them the words for their most common problems and encourage them to say when they want something. “Are you thirsty? Are you hungry? Can you say 'hungry'?” Emphasize that's it's okay to feel angry or sad, and that they can do other things to help them express their feelings. One new practice is to teach toddlers sign language as early as possible. Even small infants can learn “baby sign”, which allows them to communicate when they're hungry, tired, or want to play. Even for a toddler, words are very new and can be intimidating. Sign language is more natural and accessible and can significantly improve behavior problems. Many times when your toddler throws a tantrum, the reaction is because they didn't get their way. This is another aspect of the normal desire to learn how to be independent. They should have choices and get to make those choices, since this helps them develop into confident, capable children. However, their choices are not always useful or good. Find ways and times when they can make choices, so that they feel like they have control over their life (even if they don't'). For example, when they get dressed in the morning, give them the choice between two or three shirts that you pick out. Keep firm on the options that you originally give them. They'll choose which shirt they want and you both come away from the discussion tear-free. One of the most important things you can do for your child at this age is to let them experience consequences. When they don't experience consequences early, it becomes difficult for them to realize that consequences are a normal part of life. By letting them understand cause and effect, you'll be setting them up for a lifetime of better decision-making skills.  For example, your toddler refuses to put his shoes and coat on before going outside in the snow, let him just go outside. He'll be stuck in the car ride to daycare with cold, wet feet and will quickly learn that putting on shoes is the smarter idea and there will be no more fights in the morning over coats and shoes. Another example is if your child is playing the "Throwing my bowl down from the table is the best" game. Instead of yelling at them and cleaning up the mess, make them clean up the mess every time they throw food over. They'll easily decide that that isn't nearly as much fun.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Start teaching good behaviors as soon as possible. Reward your child for good behavior. Set limits and keep them firm. Teach them to express their feelings with words. Give them the feeling of choice and power. Allow your child to experience consequences.

Some foods and drinks are more likely to cause indigestion than others. If you have frequent bouts of indigestion, you may want to try avoiding:  fatty, greasy foods  spicy foods  acidic foods like tomato sauce  garlic  onion  chocolate  carbonated drinks, including soda and seltzer  caffeinated beverages  alcohol If you tend to skip meals and then eat larger portions later in the day, it may be causing your indigestion. Try eating smaller meals more frequently, and eat more slowly, giving yourself more time to thoroughly chew your food. It's best to wait at least three hours after eating before you lie down, as this may cause more acid to reflux into your esophagus. When you do lie down, elevate your head by about six to nine inches to help prevent acid from entering the esophagus.
