My 2 year old daughter has been whining and crying about EVERYTHING since the moment she woke up this morning. Everything is sending her into a temper tantrum of crying fit. Everything! Nothing is making her happy today. Even when she asked for a movie and I put in the movie she asked for she cried. Ever have one of those days with a kid?

She's probably coming down with something or she has something physically wrong with her maybe her tummy is upset? constipated? headachey? I guess your gonna have to do the process of elimanation to find out whats wrong with her. It could be an earache.

Toddlers do have tantrums which are difficult to control. If you are certain that she is not feeling unwell, sometimes it is better to ignore her for a few minutes. Can you take her to the park? I hope that your daughter is feeling a lot better now...

Oh sure. I called those days draggin days. Because I am going to have to drag myself out of bed and deal with it. Sometimes we just have to realize there is nothing that will put a smile on the faces of our children and hope tomorrow is better. The nice thing is, it usually is better the next day.

I would just try to ignore it, pop on a good movie, and hope she takes a nap on the couch and feels better after the nap. If it got to a point where it became beyond frustrating, I'd put her back to bed!
There are days when one of mine acts that way, typically it's the youngest. Sometimes it seems he's already ready for another nap after he's just woken up from one, and I get frustrated beyond belief. Sometimes it seems like the only peace I get is when he's asleep. He's certainly my most tempermental child!

Just wait until she is 8 and this is something that goes on every day!!!
I hope that your little one isn't coming down with something. Maybe she is just still tired. Hopefully she will take a nap and wake up her happy self.

Maybe she is teething or not feeling well. Kids that young have trouble knowing how to express themselves. They can sometimes have trouble understanding and expressing pain or discomfort, so it can often be expressed as whining and general crankiness. If she speaks a lot, ask her if she has any bow bows or if something hurts and see if you can get a yes or no answer from her...though kids won't always tell you the right answer. On days like that, you could try putting her down for a nap or maybe giving her some tylenol to see if that helps in case she is any pain or having some soreness.

It sounds to me like your little one is comming down with something! Whenever my daughter wakes up cranky and sooky I know that she is comming down with something. When a normaly happy child is cranky all day it usually means something is bothering her. She is only 2 so no sence in asking her whats wrong you prob wont get an answer. Just try everything you can to make her happy. Mabie she just needs some cuddle time! She could be having growing pains! My daughter had them at 22 months! Or She may be gettin the dreaded flu! Try giving her some tempra! That may help even if she doesnt have a fever if she has pain it will help! Hope this helps you!

Yes I have lilybug! My oldest daughter has always been "moody". She still is and she's 15. lol. Sounds like she doesn't feel good though. My oldest was especially cranky once and nothing I did seemed to please her. She was about your daughters age at the time. Just old enough to express herself but she had an ear infection and was cranky because it hurt. Not telling me this though..I had to find out a couple of days later when she started running a fever. Maybe she's getting sick.

I have those days, almost every day with my 17 month old daughter. She's cranky by nature. It get's worse right before she get's sick. So if I notice her's is increasing, it's time to go on and head to the doctor and get her ears checked, and so on because she can't tell me where she's hurting at but maybe the doctor can find it.
I just try my hardest to keep my patience intact and try to find something that will please here, whether it be extra hugs, and holding, to a special snack, to just laying with her.. Sometimes that's all she needs, other days it's taking her outside to see a different view. I am a stay at home mom and I know she sometimes get's the cabin fever and feels stir crazy from being home all the time.
I do hope your day get's better.
