My 2 year old daughter....?

Question

When she is with me she won't go to bed, she screams, she bites, she kicks, and she spits. When she is with other people, she is an angel. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?

Answer 1

CALL NANNY 911

Answer 2

She is having tantrums. If they don't work, she will stop. Ignore them and put her in time out.

Answer 3

don't spoil her and keep her with other people as long as possible while you are around

Answer 4

If she bites, bite her back.  If she hits, hit her back.  If she kicks, kick her back.  If she screams, ignore her.

That's what would happen to her in real life.  Some day, she'll hit/bite/kick the wrong person and get the tar beat out of her.  Better to knock her down a few notches now than when she gets older and calls CPS on you.

Answer 5

My two year old son does almost the same thing to me, When his dad is home, he takes his nap so easy. When dad is working, he screams and throws a fit.

What I do, I give him the option of picking a book before naptime. (We read every time he goes to sleep.) He knows it's naptime so sometimes he throws a fit and won't decide on a book. So, when he is fitty like that, I tell him that if he doesn't pick one, he'll go to sleep without one.

It usually makes him calm down and pick a book, but getting him to sleep usually takes a bit of him yelling. Just got to grit your teeth a bare it, even when it really gets to you.

Answer 6

Stay strong!  Don't give in!  She is looking for a reaction from you, so just go about life as the screaming isn't happening.

Answer 7

maybe she is more comfortable with you than others. you should be a little more strict with her even if she is a baby

Answer 8

Discipline her!!! She has figured out she can get away with it with you, ask others what and how they put her to sleep and start a good routine. Simple is best, first give her a bath about a half hour before bed, then sit and read her one book and only one, take her up to her bed and say prayers then tuck her in and say goodnight, turn around and walk out of the room. If she screams let her, she eventually stop if she bites discipline her, she needs to know that is not allowed, if she kicks same thing, if she spits make her clean it up and then discipline her. She needs to learn that your are in control not her give her structure, discipline and love.
