What?

That is pretty normal. Kids at that age thinks that whatever they wishes could be readily given to them without them realizing that we could barely understand what they are saying. We just have to "hit and miss" until we get the right word she.he is telling us. Oh kids!

A two year old can speak quietly and not say many words correctly. My three year old daughter often mumbles and says lots of things. When I am listing to her I have to listen very hard and fully concentrate. It can be awful to hear I want ... and not hear what she wants. I used picture cards and sign language with my disabled son before he learned how to speak. I totally understand how you feel not understanding your two year old cousin. For a two year old it can be frustrating and upsetting not to be understood. I suggest you use pictures and signing. Good luck.

Putting on a tantrum display is very hard work, and little kids soon get very tired when doing it, so take advantage of this by allowing it to happen. Then when they get tired, you get to laugh at them, and they get nothing but tired out. Next time perhaps they will remember getting laughed at, and will not do the tantrum.

A two year old can be hard to understand.. My younger son is two.. I use one or two words to figure out what he wants/needs.. It could be a toy that he is pointing to like ball, block, or car.. Or he may be upset because he cant find his blanket.. So I will ask him wheres blanky? and if he gets worse then I know.. If he is hungry I ask him eat? or if he is thirsty cup? My suggestion is to use simple terms that she understands and just change your voice; the way you would ask a question.. It may take several times to figure out one thing.. But after awhile you two will be able to talk better.. Oh I would tell her that throwing toys is not the way to express herself.. My son tries that too.. I give him a chance and if he continues I warn him, then put him in a time out for two mintues.. Away from all the activity, then I tell him why.. For example; We can not throw blocks it hurts, and we do not want to hurt people.. That is not nice.. Simple things like that.. And when all else fails I ask him to show me what he wants... that usually works.. Good luck my friend

I think tantrums is normal for toddlers. It is a sign that they are having difficulty to convey their needs. Some research implied that it just need to ignore. I am not sure if it is right?

Don't let it stress you out. Children are smart and can tell when you get concerned or frustrated cuz you can't understand them. If they are already upset it just adds fuel to the fire. Also it helps to stay on their level when playing or talking to them. We don't like to talk up to people all the time. I think some peoPle are afraid of their child throwing tantrums. I let mine however I don't let him throw his toys or yell at me. I walk away and let him be mad then when he comes to me I ask if he is done being mad. He normally just wants me to hold him for a minute then we go back to playing. Children are supposed to have emotions we as adults and Parents and family need to show them the correct way to deal with them correctly.

hi tinetine a doctor once explained to me that at two the hcild is starting ot ge a lot of incoming information into his child's brain and sometimes it simply is too much for he or she to handle so they throw a tantrum.he showed me how when we adults get too much information at once we will get overwhelmed and usually will say "slow down as i cannot understand all you are saying." the child is not matured to tell us so they act out best to grab her and hold her til she quiets down then ask softly "what is wrong? " nine times out of ten the two year old will fall asleep .

Kids that age really doesn't know who to pronounce words properly and most of the time they have their tantrums. My nephew is also like that when he was 2 and even have tantrums now that he is 3 years old but it's lessen now. He keeps on telling something and we keep on asking him to be clear so we could understand. Sometimes we interpret through actions and when he says yes, then it's good to go with a smile.
