Yes, you read the title correctly! I just came across a very interesting article about teaching your kids the right way to argue. I never realized that the process of arguing is a way for kids to learn reason and use logic. Like learning to share, you can't avoid this important milestone. So we need to make the most of it. The goal as a parent is to TEACH your child the RIGHT way to argue and to set a standard of agreeable disagreement. :) Taking advantage of this developmental stage could really pay off when your child becomes a teenager.
I also learned that it is futile to argue with a child under the age of 3. Looks like I'll need to remember this article in a few years...
