re: Help please, 2 year old giving me hell

Quoting Socialist:" She knows she'll get what she wants if she cries. Either take the time and sit with her, or start teaching ... [snip!] ... and it should start to get less and less. She may be outgrowing nap time, though. That may be something to think about. "

Yeah I totally agree, Me and DH believe that she knows that if she cries she'll get what she wants because she does this throughout the day... I tried explaing it to her and so far it hasnt helped she keeps doing it, i just figured it was the terrible twos, but its starting to get out of hand

Quoting Sofia's Mummy♥:" She needs her mama. Stay with her, it'll take less time. As soon as you start putting her to bed she's ... [snip!] ... with her. So she knows you're coming back - and do come back - and is less tense from the moment you start the bedtime routine."

Thats what I currently do, I stay with her till she falls asleep, im just hoping she'll out grow this soon
and yeah she def is too big for that, I have tried it and in two minutes shes screaming for me

Quoting Fides*Spes*Amor {MBRD}:" Why can't you let her cry to sleep? She's 2.. she's playing your emotions & she knows it."

I would feel horrible to let her cry for so long especially if I know she probably is just lonely or needs me around. But its not like I lay in the bed with her, I'll sit in the corner and be on my nook or something, I guess she just needs to know Im aorund

I agreeee!!!!

Any advice anybody on how to get her out of crying for everythingggg, i mean everything!!! I tried talking to her, I tried denying what she wants but I sometimes give in

Stop giving in. It's a phase and part of being two she cries because se knows eventually you just might give in.

Im going to really try this as hard as I can because I feel like it might help alot its just going to be hard to hear her screaming after I deny her it.

No one said parenting was easy. Calmly explain why can't have said item try to redirect her and if she cries she cries. I always try to give an alternative. Ex mommy can I have a cookie. No because its almost dinner time however
You may have some grapes would you like those?

of course its not, Im experiencing it first hand, but I know it helps to ask for advice, so far I've been doing just thats with her, but nothings working but I no its just a phase and she will grow out of it
