I have a beautiful daughter who is just over two and a half. 95% of the time, if not more, she is brilliant. The other 5% of the time she really is not that bad at all but I just can’t seem to handle anything that is slightly tricky with her behaviour. I worry about how people think I am dealing with the situation I.e whether I am not being tough enough and how I should be disciplining her. My nature is naturally soft, I’m a very non confrontational person. Today for example we were visiting family and she tipped a piece of cake on the floor off a plate on purpose. I told her off, asked her to apologise (which she did about ten minutes later) and she helped clear the mess up. I know she is two and is going to be pushing the boundaries but I worry about how other people view I deal with this kind of situation. I’m not sure what I should do with her and whether I am tough enough.
I spend a lot of the time worrying about things that never really happen I.e putting her to bed, will she cry, how will i deal with it if she does. I didn’t know I would worry so much about everything when we really couldn’t have a better natured child (at the moment!). I make myself feel like a nervous wreck and I don’t know how I can turn thugs around. I don’t want to pass on my worrying to my daughter! Does anyone have any advice? Apart from
