“Terrible” twos

I haven’t hit the part where he hates going places but I definitely deal with the constant crying and whining and you have to distract distract distract, he’s crying over falling? Ask him as many questions about where it hurts “does your head hurt?, your feet?, your hands?” And it distracts him. Crying over someone leaving? Ask him to find things in the sky or in the yard or wherever you are in that moment ask him to find something. Crying about is toy not working? Show me another cool toy or help him make that toy work. And If you have animals that’s always a good distraction to ask him to feed or water the dogs.

I find it hard to stay calm all day with a 4 month old and my two year old but as long as I remember that he doesn’t know how to control his feelings, he’s not always doing it out of attention it’s just pure overwhelming emotions, and that he’s only 2. He still needs guidance and a calm mother. (Also I gave up on having a clean house everyday)

Every time my daughter has a tantrum I hug her and tell her I love her. I also try my best to distract her from whatever she's having a tantrum over, seems to help. I salute all the moms who have 2 under 2, that's a lot of over stimulation. Don't be afraid to ask for help or for a break.
