| lol yes I love my son's and daughter's "selective hearing..' If I say cookie, they hear me just fine. If I say no don't stick your tounge in the electrical socket or don't sit on the baby ( to my son)... There is no response. When it gets really bad I manage to make myself laugh by thinking about getting their attention with a squirt gun full of cold water... :) Hear me now sweetie ? Good, now remove your teeth from my calf. :) |

That last post was great - LOL!
Seriously though, my son will be 2 in a few weeks, and we've been getting a sneak peak at the terrible 2's for quite some time now. This week we're refusing to drink anything other than water, we've started to bite (why why why????) and he's freaking out at bedtime.....UGH!
Sorry I'm not much help - just know we're all in the same boat, ha! |

| How is your child at verbally communicating with you? Have you noticed her behaving this way at particular times of the day or is it specifically related to you leaving her? Admittedly, I have not yet raised a two year old, however, I wonder if some of her lashing out/ tantrums are stemming from an inability to clearly communicate what she's feeling. Are there ways to help her articulate her thoughts before she and then ultimately you get frustrated? There is book out to the effect 'Making the terrible twos terrific' Ithink that's the title. Let me know if it's helpful if you go that route. My daughter is just starting to teethe so I'm dreading what you're dealing with right now. Our pediatrician reccommended teething tablets that we can pick up at health food store. It's supposed to help with the discomfort. My niece enjoyed chewing on part of the stalk of a fennel bulb. She found that soothing. Our doctor approved that as well. I hope this is helpful to you and good luck. |

hi ladies,
I also have a two year old, boy and a teething 10m old girl.
Let me tell u the boy is constantly testing me with what he can get away with. Weither it involves his sister or something he's doing he's consistant and it's very tiring! I think through everything the whining (which I realized is mostly when he's hungry or hot) and the mischievious look when he's doing something I've already told him not too, all of this is what the "terrible two's" are all about, or so I've read. It's there inability to communicate their needs and constantly testing boundaries. What fun! I've heard 3 is no better.
My teething girl EATS just about everything and has a bit of a rash around her mouth from access drooling. I found a raw peeled carrot or a hand towl tied in a knot works well for her to bit on, her favorite is the carrot:) |
