OCD toddler

Hey,

I was just wondering if anyone has a child/toddler who has meltdowns if material things aren't in their original place, she has to put things back exactly where they were, has to have her coat and buttons zipped up fully, socks have to be on properly, everything has to be done perfectly otherwise she can't cope. She's only 2. My family are all a bit like this but it doesn't seem like learned behavior, me and her dad aren't like this. If anything I'm the opposite 😂.

Is this normal toddler behavior? I just worry about her because of the meltdowns I don't want her to think everything needs to be perfect for her to be happy. Probably over thinking it but I just wondered if anyone else had experienced this with their children and what did they do to stop them worrying about things being perfect? X

Oh, there's nothing as particular as a two year old when you are trying to rush out the door 😂 it's the only thing in their little lives they can control, so they go to town on it.
