Kids are loud, rowdy, they forget, they get carried away, they have very little self-control - it's just the way it is. Yes, you try and curb that sort of thing and teach them to act right, but they're still going to slip up and be knuckleheads. Especially toddlers (which is what we're talking about here).
If you see some 2 year old kid who is always quiet and respectful, who never has a fit about anything, and doesn't drive you to distraction on occasion, call CPS because that is a scary child. |
At 2 years old? No, but the point I am making is many parents use the "strong-willed" label as an excuse for why they cannot
ever get compliance. If mom and dad cannot control a 2y/o, then God help us all when that child grows to 6ft. tall, and parents are still the same size. By age 5 a child (and yes, I have children) should have darn good behavior out-and-about (barring factors like illness), but the training is now, while OP's child is 2.
