Terrible TWO -
The stage doesn't always begin exactly on your child's second birthday. Development experts say it can strike as early as 18 months and as late as 30 months. Look for new signs of assertiveness from your toddler. Hallmark behaviors to watch for: He may insist on doing exactly what you've told him not to do or throw himself down on the floor in a fit of temper if he doesn't get his way. His demands may alternately frustrate and amuse you. At times, for example, he'll likely ask for something that he doesn't even want, just to see if he has enough power to get it.
"To help you cope with this normal stage in your child's development, you should always remember that your child isn't trying to be defiant or rebellious on purpose. He is just trying to express his growing independence and doesn't have the language skills to easily express his needs. This can also be the reason why your toddler frequently gets frustrated and resorts to hitting, biting, and temper tantrums when he doesn't get his way."
Oh well, i am pretty sure that Dax is undergoing this terrible 2 of his life... at least we know that this is a natural stage that a child will go through... =) he has shown much improvement over the past week, hope that he can outgrown this stage soon... In the meanwhile, Jiayou to all of us!!! =)
Dax with papa and mama @ East Coast Polliwogs... A lucky boy indeed, Dax is so fortunate to have such doting godparents and grandparents... Papa and mama are always full of effort and ideas on bringing this boy to play, from animal farms to kite flying to marina barrage etc etc, Dax is always so happy to go out with them. =)
Got to thanks erge and ersao for their ever ready time to take care of our little boy. Everytime there is dinner/ function etc etc, they are always there to take care of him.. Like Yan says, we do not have to worry bout nobody taking care of Dax... really appreciate that.. =)
