i posted a question in answers...but i would really like some more suggestions. my dd is beyond a handful. She'll go from sweet, perfect and doing anything you ask her to, to being a screaming, fit throwing 2 year old. It's becoming more and more frequent. When she gets in the fits, she'll scream no at you,..she'll sit there and scream at the top of her lungs for short incriments if she doesn't get what she wants. She's absolutely horrible to the dog, and she knows to be gentle and easy with him (she'll pull his leg, and pull his fur, no matter how much we tell her to stop), if she doesn't get what she wants or doesn't get her way in a store, she'll throw herself on the ground, and just sit there. I feel like I've tried everything, and i'm at a loss on what to do. I'm consistent in disciplining her. For the most part she's a really good kid, and listens very well, but when she gets in these slumps, geeze, it's awful. when i put her in her room to have her fits out in there, she screams and cries to the point that she makes herself sick, time outs have never worked, redirecting her at 2 doesn't work, because she remembers what she was redirected from and goes right back to it. i don't know what to do. i hate spanking her, but she understands after that she's not supposed to do whatever it is she's not supposed to be doing. i see kids when we're out that listen the first time their parents tell them something, and i wish so bad my dd were like that,..i hate being to the point of tears, and wanting to be away from her for a few hours every night because it's been that long of a day...i need suggestions ladies...are there any books out there that can turn my 2 year old terror, lol, around? any 'wive's tales" that are actually true or anything like that, that work?
