Am I being paranoid or could there be something mentally wrong with my 2 year old?
There are so many instances I could right down. Sometimes my daughter acts like she is really smart but other times which happens a lot lately, she acts like she has no clue. I'll ask her to hand me the bag and she will look at me like she has no clue what I am talking about and I'll ask her again in a different way and she'll hand me a lego or another toy. I'll then get up and show her what I meant and she'll all of a sudden cry like I yelled at her. Another time I asked her to get her sippy cup for me and she looked everywhere else besides where I pointed at. Earlier today she started getting mad at a particular toy which was a small bag. She was getting mad at it because she over stuffed it and couldn't zip it up. I then told her it isn't going to fit the bag is to small. I fraised the sentence so many different times because she looked at me like she had no clue what I was saying. She then continued to cry because she couldn't get the zipper closed. Is there something wrong with her mentally? I am going to tell her pediatrion about my concurns the next time I have an appointment but I wanted to get other people's opinion on it too. My daughter is 2 years and 4 months old. Let me know what you think and please no mean or stupid comments just an opinion on what you think of the situation. Thank you.

This is my opinion, but you really need to talk to the pediatrician.
By her age, it seems like she she be able to know what you mean when you ask for something. I babysit a girl almost exactly her age (one month difference) and she often helps me find things when I am looking for them. If I say, "go put your shoes on, the pink ones", she'll find her pink shoes. Of course, she gets frustrated easily as well. Many toddlers through tantrums for no reasons. Sometimes it is when they are not getting proper nutrition, sometimes they are sleeping badly. But what you want to make sure of is that she is on track developmentally. Also, don't worry too much if she doesn't respond when you ask for something. Sometimes I ask the little girl I babysit to count to ten, and she asks like she doesn't here me. Then I'll walk away and pretend I'm doing something else, and I hear, "1, 2, 3..". Sometimes they mess with you for fun, toddlers are very smart!
That's just my two cents. Good luck, and whatever you do, don't put her on any medication. Pills are every doctor's answer these days, and it only makes everyone worse.

I am not a doctor, nor a parent, but I would agree with you that does sound a bit strange... My nephew just turned 3 and he doesn't answer me when i ask him questions or tell him to do stuff, he is kind of off in his own world all the time.. so maybe it is just that age! Some things I would consider are how often you spend time with her, if you are a full time mommy and she is always with you, it would be extremely strange for her to cry and not understand YOU. (whereas, if she is being raised by her father or a babysitter, daycare, etc. this may be natural for her because she is treated differently with others. I wish you the best of luck with your daughter!

No, she just sounds like a normal kid. Off in her own world half the time. My sister is eleven and she STILL looks around cluelessly if you ask her to do something. Maybe when you get up and approach her, she cries because she thinks you're upset that she didn't know what to pick up. She might think you're going to tell her off or get angry, maybe?

Remember, SHE IS A KID. She probably hasn't even started preschool yet, so relax, okay? she's not doing anything wrong. She probably DOESN'T have a clue what you're saying. But that's okay, because she is only two. You learn as you go.
