she is a nightmare, im stunned at how a 2y4m old child can be so feral!
we have recently cut as many additives and preservatives from her diet as possible and have also started trying to take a calm approach and not raise our voices with her, which is a bloody hard task some days
we are also trying to not sat the word "no" again another huge challenge.
im making sure im offer 2 alternatives so that she can choose and still think she has the power.
she asked for a icy pole for breakfast on sunday and rather than saying no, i said yes you can have one after lunch but for now you can have strawberries or an apple and after asking again and me repeating what i said, she happily decided on strawberries.
she finds it hard ot control her frustration so god knows how to fix that!
Just putting another spin on things - my twins are 23mths old and one of their traits is tantrum throwing but to an extreme. Will fight and kick and go on for excessive amounts of time and both of them are seeing a Speech Therapist as they have developmental delays (both differing delays) and the speechie has told me she sees signs of them both displaying traits of ASD. As they are still young it is a wait and see approach with using services available to us, but if you think her behaviour is to the extreme it might be worth having her assessed, even if it is to give you peace of mind that she is just a normal 2yr old
