Detailed explanation-1: -All typically developing toddlers push for their independence. Each child has a unique timetable for this burst of “negativism”, but many parents will notice an increase in this difficult behavior around 18 months and again around 30 months. A common toddler response to frustration is a temper tantrum.
Detailed explanation-2: -Negativism is characterized by refusal to obey requests and has the tendency to resist direction to older individuals, like their parents. For instance, a parent would request his child to return home from the playground and the child will demonstrate active negativism by running away.
Detailed explanation-3: -Which toddler behavior indicates negativism? Negativism is the tendency for toddlers to give persistent negative responses to requests by saying words such as “no” or “me do.” This may be their sole vocabulary. Temper tantrums and anger also indicate negativism in the child.
