Is just turned 2 too young for a sticker chart?

Dd has just turned 2 and everything is a battle. The tantrums are epic, she screeches 'no' at me and she has just started hitting and throwing things at me.
I have tried ignoring,explaining and all the other things that worked with her brothers.
So the next (well only) thing I can think of is sticker charts but I am not sure if she is too young?
I should also say in between tantrums and screeching she is wonderful. I am painting her to be horrible and she really isn't.

Couldn't hurt to try it and see if it works.

Would suggest that given her age, you give her only a couple of targets that are easily achievable and that she can get quick feedback from so it keeps her interest/attention. So for example saying all day without some form of tantrum may be nearly u achievable for a two year old, but targets like, sitting at the table for dinner or putting own shoes will be easier for her to do quickly and get the sticker reward.

Hope that makes sense, trying to type it out on my phone.

Hope whatever you try helps Grin

Thank you. Little targets a good idea. Will start with not head butting her brothers Confused
