Why does my 2 year old act really poorly?
Most days my daughter usually is pretty good but lately and more frequently she has been acting very poorly. If I ask her to not do something she cry like I yelled at her. If I asker to do something she will cry like I yelled at her. When she goes to eat supper she knows how to use a fork and eat the food herself but lately she wants my husband or I to feed her. I notice she acts ike this a lot over at my moth-in-laws house but at home she will be independent. Now she wants everything handed to her or she will cry about it. I don't understand did I do something wrong for her to be acting like this? I don't want any rude comments about anything I just would like other mothers perspective and advise.

this is very typical of a two year old... "terrible twos". i think they realize that it was a lot nicer having someone do everything for them and they want to pull back from growing independent. just reinforce the things you know she knows how to do and be sturn. your mother in law is probably feeding into all her wants, but that's their job, so don't be upset about it.

You've not done anything wrong. She's not doing anthing wrong either. She's just experimenting with a bit of manipulation which has worked so far, but which she's probably noticed isn't working any more. I'm sure you'll get good practical advice from other Mums, but in essence its about sticking to your guns and making her manipulate in more appropriate ways. It will pass.

Perhaps it is just a stage in her development, my daughter is just under two and I just wrote an article on disciplining toddlers, maybe it will help!
