"Terrible twos is a normal stage in a child's development, a child isn't trying to be defiant or rebellious on purpose. They are just trying to express their growing independence and don't have the language skills to easily express their needs. This can also be the reason why they frequently get frustrated and resort to temper tantrums when they don't get their way."
I tried to be prepared and did a lot of reading in how to handle Haley's temper tantrums. It is so difficult to be patient when she all the sudden decide to go their own way on everything. From which cup or spoon to use, which jacket to wear, to when to go to the bathroom...she just has her own will on everything now. I tried not to force her to do anything, but give her reward and encouragement to behave. I don't want her to associate any battle with mom & dad is due to the little brother's arrival.
Lord, please give me patience, energy and wisdom to handle the terrible twos challenge.
