Release Body = Smarter Toddler Nursery and Preschool
in New York City has announced a ban on the phrase Terrible Two’s
insisting that the term encourages and excuses bad behavior in Toddlers.
“A two year old who people refer to as a Terrible Two may
need either more physical activity, more stimulating academic challenges
or simply more 1-on-1 attention,” said Jessica Collins,
spokesperson for the school, “At Smarter Toddler
we don't believe in the phrase Terrible Two's. What we do believe
in is giving a child a combination of attention and special activities
that help to keep their minds off of the need to begin what some
would describe as bad behavior. Smarter Toddler does that by providing
children with a warm, loving, fun environment that focuses on the
artistic, cultural and social development of each child”.
The
teachers and management of Smarter Toddler would
like the support of not only
parents with children at their center but also parents, guardians
and teachers everywhere to not use the term Terrible Two’s.
“Educators
and psychologists have proved that negative statements are more
likely to encourage negative behavior in not only children but adults
also," said Ms. Collins. "Call Johnny a bad boy and your
likely to get a bad boy. Instead of saying Terrible Two, using the
term Terrific Two is much more positive and likely to encourage
and expect good behavior in a child”.
About
Smarter Toddler:
 Smarter
Toddler is a Daycare Center and Preschool on Manhattan’s
Upper West Side founded by parents of gifted toddlers who wanted
a progressive preschool with an advanced arts-based curriculum that
their own children could benefit from, hence the name. It has long
been proven that a child’s brain is like a dry sponge capable
of absorbing knowledge at a much faster rate than an adult's. As
a result, at Smarter Toddler you’re never
too young to begin learning. Since the first Smarter Toddler
location at 89th street became popular a new location at 55th street
and 9th avenue near Lincoln Center is planned for September 2007.
