Hi all.
My dd is 2 years old (just turned) she's a 'handful' pretty much all the time right now.
She's my first child and only have one relative that's got a 3 year old so don't have all that much experience to compare too.
Now, I'm starting to worry abit that her behaviour is something more than the usual terrible 2s. Reason being that she's always the 'worst' behaved whenever I'm out with her and around other little ones.
I guess what I'm asking is does she sound like a regular toddler or should I be concerned? She is often referred to as "wild child" "hypo" "crazy" etc by my friends (childless ones) which for some reason upsets me abit.
Ok so I'm going to describe her and hope some one will read this!
She barely eats anything at all except tomato pasta, literally refuses to eat full stop most the time.
She can't use a a fork very well and would rather use her hands.
She can't sit still at a table so I still use her highchair most of the time, if we take her to a restraint it's a total nightmare and not enjoyable tbh.
She's very loving, needs hugs a lot, quite clingy with me and dh.
She still wakes up in the night but goes to bed ok at 7.30.
She's dropping her daytime nap at the minute so has it some days but not often anymore.
She's always the loudest most excited child at a playgroup or soft play. Others actually look frightened of her at times!
She hits me and pulls my hair if I tell her 'no'
I can't take her out of her buggy when out at all, it's like she physically can't walk she can just run, fast, away from me.
She will not hold hands at all.
If I try to take her home from soft plat etc she has a major tantrum, hits out at me.
She asks to wash her hands all the time, any speck of dirt and she says "yacky"
She will not under any circumstance sit in a circle for story time or instrument time, she's always always the first to get up and wonder off.
She has no sense of danger.
Hates getting dressed!
Hoping someone will come along with some good news that she sounds ok, I'm starting to worry, I actually cried today as first I took her to the supermarket in her buggy she screamed and shouted at people all the way round and I spotted a couple of children that were the same size as her behaving beautifully and they were not in buggys. There's not a chance I could do that. Then my friends little girl was scared of her this morning as she was snatching her toys and shouting at her.
Any tips for me??
