Toddlers

Same here 😅 we’re in the trenches 😂

Well my baby was born in may 2023, he’ll be 2 may 23. He can be unruly but he hits and doesn’t use words just yet, just makes noises when he doesn’t get his way. He needs speech therapy badly and these people are dragging their feet

Very. It’s terrible 😓 my mother says none of her kids were like this. I wanna get more serious about tying to cut out artificial dyes in my daughter’s diet but it’s hard

This explains my daughter soooo well! It’s just a way for them to express themselves, she will be so kind and want hugs and kisses, then she will act like I don’t exist or take every toy out of her brothers hands lol kids

Yes! I have 4 boys, number 3 is gonna be 3 in May. Every time they hit half a milestone (2.5) or a full year older they go through a regression. I would have to say my boys at 3 years old were harder then 2 years old. My 2.5 year old has been trying to figure out his emotions, take some control, and communicate the best he can (he's not very verbal yet). It has always gotten better when they turn 4, just lots of attitude, meltdowns, and hugs until then 😉💕💕💕 We call them "threenagers" instead of "teenagers" .. same attitude in a much smaller body 😉😳😂

Mine is taking these last few months of the terrible twos to give me app the blues! Not everyone, just me. I think it’s intentional. I am her primary caregiver, nurture, provider, entertainer and everything. I am the one she picks on. Sometimes I just want to give up and let her just be but I c know I have to correct it at all cost. I pray it’s better at 3 but hearing that’s not the case. 😒

We are all in the trenches sounds like

@Jo I know it’s still hard (my girlie has been acting out more recently too), but it is comforting the idea I’ve heard that the reason the primary care giver gets the brunt of the emotions and tantrums has to do with the fact that she trusts you enough to try and deal with the “ugly emotions” around you.🤗
