Why is my 24 month DD shouting and crying so much?

[SweetLikeChocolate]

She used to by remarkably amenable and has been communicating from an early age so was quite easy to respond to. She started talking early and at 24 months understands pretty much everything but suddenly isn't using her words and instead is crying at pretty much everything and seems frustrated. She used to be such a smily happy baby but now is moaning and easily taken to tears.
She is the youngest of 3 (9, 5 and her at 24 months) and they all love to play together. She is always included. There has been no major change in her life or routine. All milestones taken in her stride. She is potty trained (of her own accord) and mostly sleeps throughout the night (although plays us like a fiddle at bedtime ans often wakes at 5am when if she is well I let her cry and she eventually goes back to sleep until 7ish). I don't understand why the change in demeanour? Could it be frustration at not being able properly?

I would see the GP or HV about this tbh. She seems to have had somewhat of a regression and that always needs checking. She may need some early speech therapy.

Thank you. I don't think it is regression but I will definitely bare it in mind now. Thanks for your input ICaneOnTheJitney

Are her last molars coming through?

My dd sounds very similar, very articulate and toilet trained before 20 months. She too went through this stage and that's really all it was, she soon came out of it.

One thing that helped me was to make sure I validated her feelings so when she was screaming I would say something like "mummy can see that you ate very angry about something, when you are calmer we can find out why" I would always use a low, quiet voice and it really seemed to work.

Also I had to sometimes remind myself that she was only 2 as I think sometimes I treated her like an older child due to her talking etc.

Hope some of that helps x
