Your Toddler's Trouble Two's Can Be Fun

Your toddler has just celebrated her second birthday. You have all your family and friends warning you of a tough year ahead. They call it trouble two's or terrible two's but you can make this year fun and enjoyable.

Soon after the second birthday of my daughter, I noticed a tremendous change in her temperament and behavior. She was no more the same obedient quite baby. She became aggressive, showed her likes and dislikes, would throw tantrums and keep me on my toes to feed her, to bath her and to dress her up. So I realized that it is going to be a tough exhausting year ahead for me as a mother and dealing with my toddler would not be as smooth as it used to be. The older parental tricks and tactics were no more functional as she started to outsmart them. And then I had to devise the new tricks and tactics in accordance with her age and her newly developed talents and skills to handle her. It really worked. Now she is 28 months old and I am enjoying this terrible two's year and so is she. Hope it works for you.

You find a lot of developmental milestones in your child's life during this year and you can utilize these ones to make this year a lot of fun for you and your toddler.

I CAN TALK:

See mom, I can talk and express myself!

There is an enormous increase in your child's vocabulary. Every child is different. Some kids can talk properly like adults even at the age of 2 while others might have the vocabulary of few words. An average two-year toddler will have a vocabulary of 100-200 words and can join two or three words together to form simple sentences. They learn an average of 10-20 new words every week. No matter what is the vocabulary size and conversational skills of your child, you will find a tremendous increase in her expressions through gestures and speech as well.
