Hi
Please can anyone help with tips on how to manage my wilful, stubborn 2 and a bit year old. She is constantly on the go, won't take a nap anymore, won't eat, won't do as I ask. If she doesn't want to do it then I've got no chance. Constantly whinging and whining.
I take her out to lots of groups/swimming/activities and she has play friends but doesn't go to nursery.
I know that it's a difficult age for them re coping with their emotions, terrible two's etc but what am I supposed to do to try to ensure this behaviour doesn't continue and then just become how she is all the time? I've tried naughty step/mat neither of which worked, i guess she's too young for that??? Generally we have to resort to bribery to get her to cooperate. Have just tried to have tea at a friends house which ended disastrously, she refused to sit at the table for dinner and then disrupted my friends two little ones when my friend eventually managed to get her to sit at the table and only ate a few mouthfuls.
Can anyone offer any advice? I've read the relevant bits of supernanny, but nothing seems to work:(
Any tips appreciated or do I just have to hang in there???
