/24-7PressRelease/ - NEW YORK, NY, May 30, 2007 - 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".
