I can't even get her to stay in her own bed, she wants everything and if you don't give it to her to cries like someone is trying to hurt her, she does this at stores,the car, home.Help Me!!!

Answer 1

I really look forward to all you parents that "spank" as you so innocently describe it,trying to deal with a child who deals with future problems posed by people annoying/angering them by hitting them.

Wonderful lesson to teach.

It is common for 2 year olds behave like this ..... i would just say you have to accept you cant go out to eat as you would like for a while and when you can try to ignore their tantrums.....they will soon change their behaviour when they realise they wont get a reaction.Good luck ;-)

Answer 2

two is plenty old enough to listen. at the store, march her out and spank her. it's called discipline. if you can't control her now, you'll be SOL when she's a teen.

Answer 3

You need to to show her who is boss.  I am not saying beat her, but a spanking every now and again will not hurt.  You have to make her understand that she cannot throw the fits.  You better start now or you are going to have an ever harder time when she gets older.

Welcome to the "terrible two's" =)

She's basically just discovering herself at this age and she's beginning to test you guys. My daughter just turned 2 in July and we go thru little temper tantrums too but when she misbehaves she has a time out in the corner for a couple minutes until she calms down. If that doesn't work we will not let her watch her favorite show or take away her favorite toy until she realizes she has done something wrong. Good luck =)

Answer 5

Tell her that if she doesn't stop she won't ever get to do anything fun outside maybe. I personally don't believe in physical punishment. You could try time out. But the first thing I would do is just talk to her, see why she does this. good luck!

Answer 6

You should never give into her bad behavior it just tells her. The louder i cry the more i will get something. Try putting a door blocker things. The thing that keeps your kid from going down the stairs? Well put that right infront of her door. So she can't get out of her room if she starts to cry and hollar leave her alone. She will stop eventually. Tell her no and walk away. Also if you don't teach her now by the time she does grow up. She will know how to push your buttons and you husband to get what she wants. Make sure you put your foot down now.

Answer 7

It might be hard at first but you only have one option,you might have to stay home for a couple weeks with your daughter and when she does the screaming make sure she goes to  time out or the naughty chair ,if that doesnt work put her in her room and tell her you'll come get her  when she stops crying .

Good luck.

Answer 8

It's called a spoiled BRAT. You caused this now fix it. A swat on the butt every now and then doesn't hurt anyone. AND NO it's not child abuse to spank a bratty kid. Stupid parents these days have NO clue how to raise decent kids. Mine know better if I give them what I call the death glare. Train them right from the get go and you wouldn't have such a spoiled diva on your hands. Man it must be embarrasing. My sis in laws kid acts like that and I dont even invite them over any more because of thier bratty kid. We use to eat out together all the time but not any more. Her behavior and the way her parents handle it was to embarrassing.

Answer 9

She's behaving like a two year old....what were you expecting?  A miniature adult?  So don't take her out to eat.  Don't take her anywhere if she can't behave, leave her with a sitter and tell her why she doesn't get to go.  It took my two oldest kids one time each to not behave at the mall.  I stopped taking them with me and told them why.  "I'm going to the mall but you have to stay with the sitter because you don't behave at the mall."  After a couple of months they convinced me they could behave and I never had any problems after.   Her tantrums are designed so that you will give her her way.  Ignore them.  

Answer 10

Have you tried disciplining her?  Don't give in to her bad behavior.

Answer 11

Let her cry. Teach her that she can't have everything she wants, otherwise she'll be spoiled. If she does throw a tantrum, then discipline her. Take away something, instead of giving her something to calm her. Also tell her that if she wants it, she has to ask nicely, otherwise she gets something taken.
