How to Raise a Troublesome Toddler
The toddler stage begins when a child learns how to walk, usually between the ages of one and two. During this time that a toddler is learning how to be independent, he has a large amount of energy and a natural need to explore the world around him. This leads to behavioral problems. Toddlers will climb, find ways to get into cabinets and drawers, and have a tendency to rebel against their caregivers. If you wish to raise a child with behavioral problems, you will not combat these behaviors.

1
Do not discipline your child when she does something dangerous or talks back. By not disciplining your child, you do not teach her what is right and wrong.
-
2
Give your child free reign. Do not place rules or regulations on his behavior, and do not teach him what appropriate behavior is. This will allow your child to have free reign of your home and let him run wild, if that is what he chooses to do.

3
Let your child decide her own schedule. Do not schedule a bed time, lunch time or play dates. Let your child decide how to spend her time. Without a set schedule, the child will get tired from being up late at night and will not take well to discipline in the future.
-
4
Allow your child to choose his own friends with whom to have play dates. By not screening his friends for behaviors and morals, you allow your child's friends to influence him with their bad habits and behaviors.
-
5
Do not require your child to have a nap time. If you do not include a nap in your child's schedule, she will get tired and cranky during the afternoon. This makes her more likely to talk back and behave poorly.
