The terrible two's? Or is she just terrible?

My terrible two year old! - This is my youngest girl, my little nutter!

My youngest daughter is an absolute 'fruit loop'. She can be hilarious at times, she sings 'bob the builder' to herself at night to get herself to sleep, she dances in front of the television naked, wiggling her bum and has an answer for everything! The other night she was crying in her bed for no apparent reason, I soothed her as well as I could, but she cried for ages, I finally asked her what was wrong and she replied: 'I'm not talking to you', rolled over and went back to sleep! Her main problem is when her older sisters have something she wants, she'll hit them, or pinch them and take it away. She's really violent, and I don't know how to stop it, as after she does something wrong, she grins really cheekily, as if to make everything right again!

She's adorable. I think she's just in the age where she's enjoy as much as she could for being naughty. lol Don't worry to much, as long as you did as much as you could to teach her not to do violent and behave as a girl. Lots of prayers from our sides, and she'll do just perfectly fine. Wish you luck with your daughter.

I think that there's just some bad behavior here, not a bad child. Perhaps she's getting to the age now where she's starting to test you to see what type of behavior gets her what she wants. Maybe by stressing that hurtful or violent behavior doesn't get her anything that she wants and showing her that positive behavior does she'll eventually come around. Maybe she's just going to take a little longer to learn this leason, but I think if you're really consistant about it you'll get her to decrease or stop the behavior. Good luck!

theres no such thing as terrible two's so to speak, there is but it dosent just happen at 2 years old it happens past that and sometimes its ok for a while then it comes back either the same or different. our wee boy is 6 now he's been on and off for ages it seems when he gets his hair cut short he goes off on one and he's really funny sometimes in what he does its mad but because of his age an all he justthinks its all funny.

My daughter is also in the very terible twos and I some times get scared that she might not grow out of it. She too can be just as cute as can be but when she is mad or doesnt want to do something she lets you know. I am at my wits end trying to potty train her and take care of her older and younger brothers. She is so sassy at times it makes me wnat to cry and I feel like I dont handle it very well. I think if it doesnt end soon I will ahve to be put in an institution ! She can make me laugh sop hard then she does something realy mean or thrrows a hissy and its all over. Everyone keeps telling me she will grow out of it but I am not convinced yet. btw, she is a red head !
