There is no reasoning with them until ~3 years old, just diverting their attention.

Not entirely true! My 2 year old is very familiar with the idea of “first this, then that” in regards to things that he wants.

Mine just picked that up! We go for a walk to the park after lunch every day, and he's started saying "park after lunch" when I'm getting his lunch ready XD
