The “Yes Space” approach involves creating a safe environment where toddlers can explore freely without constant restrictions. This method includes:
- Designating Safe Areas: Designate areas in your home where your toddler can play and explore without danger.
- Removing Hazards: Childproof the space by removing dangerous items, allowing your child to engage in safe play.
- Encouraging Exploration: Allow your toddler to discover and engage with their environment while setting boundaries for unsafe behaviors.
This approach helps reduce conflicts over restrictions and promotes independence and exploration.
