moms of 2+ year olds...HELP!
My lil man is 2 years and 3 months. A usually calm happy kid, but the past few weeks, we can't dress him or put him in the car seat without a major scene, kicking, screaming a full out tantrum. Took 3 adults to dress the kid the other day. Anyone have similar experiences or helpful hints??? Thanks!

Re: moms of 2+ year olds...HELP!
Sounds normal to me! I have no suggestions because I am dealing with the same thing with my 2-1/2 year old. He must dress himself or he cries, he has to buckle the car seat straps or he arches his body so I can't do it, he needs like 8 million books read to him or he won't go to bed. It's everything and I think just he age of them getting to be independant. Some days are better than others. Hang in there. Your not alone.

Re: moms of 2+ year olds...HELP!
We have a 3 1/2 year old DS. If you find any answers, let us know!
He's normally an angel, and even know, some days (or some hours, depending on the day) he's a perfect child. Listens to us, does what we ask, etc. Then, for no apparent reason, he refuses to do anything, is contrary, "needs" that (and when we stand our ground that he doesn't "need" something, he then "needs" something else). We take away toy priveledges, computer access, TV access, but to no avail. Then, in a little while, for no reason, he's back to his perfect little self. We're assuming (hoping) that it's a phase, and he's just testing his boundaries. If he doesn't outgrow this by 18, he's out of the house!

Re: moms of 2+ year olds...HELP!
DD is 2 1/2 and depending on the day it can be crazy. I actually noticed the "terrible twos" started just after she turned 2 1/2. Our biggest issue right now is getting her to be a "good listener"  There are other issues like when she has to put her shoes on (she sometimes puts her shoes on the wrong feet), or she won't let me do her hair but I have learned to pick my battles. I am not sure if it will get better before it gets worse.

yup, totally normal. I had a similar problem around that age and I swore there was something wrong with him. Nope.... just a glimpse of the terrible twos.
