We're just entering the terrible twos. Yay. Obviously I knew this would probably happen but I'm a FTM and just wanted a little advice on how to deal with them right now.
She's not really being rude or anything, she will just randomly start waving her arms, shaking her head, stamping her feet etc when she decides she doesn't want me near her or doesn't want to do something I've suggested. I think it's just an independence thing....hates getting dressed, changing nappy etc - all pretty standard. Normally it's over very quickly. Up until now she has had a very chilled temperament so it's been a little jarring for me personally but I've been warned so was preparing myself!
My instinct is to let her get on with it and react very neutrally, but I REALLY don't want her to be 3/4 years old and walking all over me so what should I be doing at this very early tantrum stage to set up good boundaries for the future? I know it's not one size fits all but any advice welcome thank you.
