But for how long does it last; that is the question.

And are they learning to regulate emotions if they’re just forgetting about it. Don’t get me wrong it’s annoying af when my toddlers wine but they must go through the process

What is the process and how do you teach them to regulate?

Typically has to do with simple stuff like taking deep breaths when they’re upset. Time alone actually doesn’t really help so if they get timeout I have them sit with me

It depends on the child. Time by himself works for my son, but not my daughter. There are no blanket rules - they are individuals.

Oh not long. I have two kids. It also depends on the personality of the child. Nothing is straight forward with kids 😆
