Terrible Twos

Emma

The "terrible twos" - they're inevitable if you have a normal child. Sometimes they even start a bit earlier than 2 years!!. They don't have to be so terrible - try and understand things from your 2 year old's perspective and it might be easier for you to manage.

There is a framework for dealing with child behavior problems (to read more, click here), but sometimes it can just get exhausting dealing with a willful toddler.

Mothers (and fathers) have insight into their own toddler's behavior and what worked for them during the "terrible two's" - this is a page where you can share your knowledge and experience - what worked and what didn't!

If you are dealing with the problem at the moment, you may get some helpful ideas from the visitors' comments below - to read them, click here. Then let us all know how you got on.

Share your "Terrible Two's" experience

The terrible two's can be exhausting. Maybe your story will be an inspiration to someone else who is exasperated by their willful toddler.

You can include what didn't work as well as what did!!
