Dd is 2.1 and very articulate (full sentences, correct tense etc) but recently seems very angry and keeps completely ignoring me when I ask her to do something. For example: dinner time this evening, mucking about with her cutlery, banging it etc, told to stop or cutlery will be removed. Didn't stop, cutlery removed, wailing meltdown. soft dh gave cutlery back after getting reassurance it would be used for its purpose and, repeat. Lots of talking about smashing things with a hammer and generally being a handful.
Help! Ds was the most biddable toddler ever and I don't know what to do with dd. We spend half the time at loggerheads recently :( I have been a very shouty mummy today :(
Her hearing is fine, she often answers a question that has been repeatedly asked before it is repeated yet again. It's the ignoring which gets me riled! Oh, and the wailing when she doesn't get her own way.
Toddler wrangling tips anyone?!
