Abstract

Parents of young children (1-2 years) often turn to a psychologist with the issue of whims and caprices. The author tried to generalize and systematize parental questions and their “answers” to them. The author did not try to restrict the answers to usual recommendations, but describes the sessions with parents from personal practice. As it turned out that to cope with the children’s whims and stubbornness is much easier than to understand the sources of their origin. They are quite a mixed in depth and content.
