Tip #5
As far as the average 2 year old is concerned, you can do magic and have superpowers.
Consider the amount of influence you have over a toddler's world. You can dictate bedtime, what they eat for lunch, and are the gatekeeper of all doors. Consider how wise you seem to a toddler. You know how to make Sesame Street appear on the TV, which road goes to the park, how to read books, what all the pink countries on the globe are called, and why it rains.
When you use your powers, keep two things in mind: that little boy (or girl) trusts you implicitly, and, the infamous "with great power comes great responsibility". So, explain as much as you can whenever possible. You would be surprised how much a 2 year old can understand, if you take the time to teach her.
Remember, your role model should be Gandalf, not Q.
