Where did the time go? Your tiny precious baby is no longer. They’ve turned into an all-knowing, and sometimes bossy partner who just wants to do everything on their own.

Oh, I know, some toddlers are not happy about doing everything. However, you’re a single mom who can raise a toddler like a boss! You got this!

Show your toddler love but don’t be a pushover.

Most times as moms we tend to become so excited about this little person that we created, that there are moments we allow them to run things and run us, at least try to.

You know, allow them to say what they want and don’t want, even when we know best. There’s that moment when you know what you want your toddler to do, but they do something totally opposite and not with a smile.

It’s at that moment where you have to decide and follow through to be clear with your rules and values.

Set boundaries.

One of the best ways to support a toddler is to set boundaries. When boundaries are set, it gives your toddler a sense of structure.
