Can someone explain me what is the TERRIBLE 2 u know when a children is 2 years old

Question

because my niece is 2 years old but there is been pleny peole who is been telling me the terribles 2

Answer 1

They call it the terrible twos because a lot of two year olds start throwing temper tantrums and become difficult at this age. Not all are like that!

Answer 2

Terrible twos means that the tempers and attitudes start to come out.  They realize what it means to test the limits and they will test them often!  It's a phase that will pass eventually.  Some two year olds are worse than others, but all of them have the terrible twos, threes and even fours in some form or fashion.  :)

Answer 3

Here is what I found to be a good definition:

The Terrible Twos are often characterized by oppositional behavior, mood changes, and temper tantrums. "No" becomes a favorite word. All are considered normal parts of child development. This is in part due to the fact that a toddler's ability to communicate hasn't caught up with his desire to communicate, hence his frustration and challenging behavior....

essentialy they want to communicate but don't know how and act out as a result.

Answer 4

they call it the terrible 2's because they start to develop their own identity, attitude, they ask alot of questions, say "no" alot (even though they might not mean it) throw tantrums etc. my children didn't really go through it. i never had a very hard time when they were that age. i might be speaking too soon though because i am pregnant with my last one!!!

Answer 5

Answer 6

I think they are growing up - trying alittle indepenents & expresstion or something  they,ve seen or recieve..you still have the terrible 3 thru 30,s to see...lol .. enjoy they grow So Fast !!!

Answer 7

its actually more like terrible twos and threes...

kids start throwing tantrums, dont understand the comcept of calm down, they make messes, scream run around just drive people crazy. have you ever been in the grocery store or a restaurant and seen parents have to grab their kids really hard and start talking to them in avery stern voice? most likely the kid is 2/3ish and is getting on the parents nerves.

not all kids are "terrible" but its defiantly difficult for parents to deal with, especially if its their first time and dont know how to handle "behavioural problems"

Answer 8

It's called the terrible 2's because at that age children are starting to talk, teething more and can walk. They have started to find thier own personalities and begun the long process of finding out what they want and how to get it. They start getting into everything and have learned the word 'NO'. which they use all the time.

Some kids aren't bad at all some really drive thier parents crazy. It's just something that gets passed around parent to parent.
