i appreciate that the terrible twos are meant to be difficult, pushing boundaries etc
Been there and done it with dd who is now 5.
Ds will be 3 in may but is currently more than terrible.
I'm told that he's ok at nursery (3 days a week) but at home he is demanding, contrary, negative, whining and aggressive.
His speech isnt great, wide vocabulary but can not yet clearly annunciate. I know this is frustrating for him.
It's just that being around him is constant hard work and I don't remember dd being quite as negative.
Examples are dictating which parent does what, which dd did and does do, but he takes it to a new level, screaming if the "wrong" one of us goes to him in the night or tries to get him out the car.
He's very troublesome with his sister and her peers, he's learnt that pulling their hair gets a reaction, from them and me.
He was such and easy going, happy little boy and it pains me to see this angst. I know he's being two but I wanted to know what I can do to help, him and us?
He's at his worst at meal times. He doesn't listen to us and is defiant. We've had some terrible meals "out" where he just tries to run off/hit out.
Or tell me that this too shall pass:)
