Is it normal for my son to be in the terrible twos?

I have a 21 month old son and I have heard all about the terrible twos well he throws some crazy fits does anyone know if it is normal for him to be in the terrible twos now and not be two (maby someone has gone through that before)

Answer #1

Yes my next door neighbor is 18months and he’ll sometimes have to go to the doctor because he’ll scream one long scream it never ends then his face turns colors. THX for your advice.

Answer #2

well I have some cousins who are about the same age and they are already throwing fits and I would guess that it is quite normal. and what she said ^, hang in there!

Answer #3

YES IS VERY NORMAL IS LIKE THIS CUTE LITTLE KID IS SO GOOD THEN NEXT YOU KNOW THEIRS A EXPLOSION, GET READY CAUSE YOU HAVEN’T SEEN NOTHING YET IT JUST DOESN’T END THERE.

Answer #4

My kids never had the terrible twos they had the terrible 12’s and 5’s lol. Stay tough because this is them testing how far they can go with you and trying to assert their authority. If you give in now when they are cracking a mental in the shops etc they will now they can do it to you all the time. Trust me its better to happen now that when they can argue back with words. lol goodluck luv xx

Answer #5

of course its normal hes just two but you must set son boundaries let him know what he can do and what he cant cause if you dont he will act like that until you give him everything he wants

Answer #6

Answer #7

I have 4 children, ages 7, 9, 15, & 20. Both my girls rule the roost, and my 2 boys are passive and calm. But going back on babies, Yes, must keep a schedual with naps, and dissapline, just when you say, “no” - & meanit !! They cant speak and they want to get their way, and with crying and tantroums, they will find ways to get their way. Make sure their diets dont include sugary snacks, they love sugar and once they taste the great sugary sweet, they will tear a wall down for more , plus they will bounce off the walls, Make sure nap time is the same, and just stick with the boundries on just saying NO ! and give your child lots of attention. Start playing games, sing songs, painting, riding bikes, going to the park. They are just wanting more attention from you.
Hope my advice was ok .

Dear adensmomma06, There is no such thing as the terrible twos. This was coined because around the age of two children became more vocal and more able to articulate what they wanted. Along with this came much frustration because a child was unable to make an adult understand just what they were trying to say. A parent spends the first two years tending to the infant and doing everything for them so now the parent has to make changes in their own routine and this can be difficult for the parent. The child now wants some Independence. So this is a stage of change and not all children will be “terrible”. It takes patience and a lot of reading by the parents to understand this stage. So with a little understanding you can get through this stage without much problems. Sue…good luck
