Detailed explanation-1: -Negativism is doing the opposite of what others want and is closely related to autonomy: the toddler wants to do things by herself/himself. Because a toddler is going through a time of wanting independence, he/she becomes negative toward anyone who attempts to take away his/her independence.
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: -As your child grows they will go through a normal developmental stage of being negative. Most children go through a period of time, typically around 14 months, or until age 3, when they seem to resist everything their parents want them to do; their favorite word seems to be no.
Detailed explanation-4: -One way to handle such situations is to avoid asking yes or no answers. Give the child a sense of autonomy by offering choices. The trick is the options are limited and the parent still gets the desired result.
Detailed explanation-5: -For example, a parent may ask a toddler to come away from the playground to return home; on hearing these instructions, the toddler demonstrates active negativism by running away.
