The regressing bit with baby talk etc could be because Rosie gets lots of attention for trying to talk so maybe she tries it for the same attention! Thanks for giving us the opportunity to show this post off again!would like to be ayummy mummyhttp://wouldliketobeayummymummy.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4543684216104683021.post-26586237746434844102011-05-29T23:19:45.206+01:002011-05-29T23:19:45.206+01:00Drawing on my paedagogical knowledge here as a pri...Drawing on my paedagogical knowledge here as a primary teacher and a nursery nurse (not as a mummy because The Boy is not yet 2) there are probably two reasons for this. One is that it's the same thing as the 'terrible twos'; she's finding a new range of abilities and is testing them out, whilst struggling with the new-found emotions that come with this, and also wanting you to set strict boundaries because she might be struggling with this new confidence. Another thought is that apparently older children can 'regress' (sounds derogatory but not intended that way) when a younger sibling comes along. It's why they don't recommend potty training just before the birth of a new child. <br /><br />Does that help with the child psychology bit?<br /><br />thanks for linking up to ShowOff ShowCase.The Boy and Mehttp://twitter.com/TheBoyandMenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4543684216104683021.post-27895865061977589672011-05-29T11:30:04.501+01:002011-05-29T11:30:04.501+01:00Ah the terrible two's indeed, I have these to ...Ah the terrible two's indeed, I have these to look forward to! Sounds as though you are handling everything the right way, it's fantastic that you and your husband are united in your approach to discipline as otherwise it can cause problems. I know it must be very frustrating - I suggest a large glass of wine and a few chocolates once the kids are in bed! @somethingblue_2noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4543684216104683021.post-30555858235102468042011-05-28T23:18:53.661+01:002011-05-28T23:18:53.661+01:00My son has been experiencing the terrible twos for...My son has been experiencing the terrible twos for the last three months now and he is not even two yet!. It's so frustrating isn't it, for them and us! I hate it, it does my head right in. I will be glad when it passes. Still I guess it will be worse once they are teenagers!<br />Ps.

At nursery last week she was angry as I picked her up as they were going to soft play and started screaming and stamping her feet. 'Mummy you very naughty girl' at the top of her voice. The nursery staff were shocked, apparently she is all nice and sweet with them!<br /><br />We are trying to be really firm with her and sticking to our guns. There has been lots of naughty steps and trips to her room. My little boy was an angel in comparison. :-)<br /><br />I hope it gets better soon. xxEmmahttp://twitter.com/mummymummymumnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4543684216104683021.post-58817938350528260232011-05-28T21:32:33.620+01:002011-05-28T21:32:33.620+01:00Thank you, this did make me giggle!

He saved them up for the Terrible Three's, so now he's bigger, stronger, louder - and so are his tantrums! Get a padded cell and put them in there til they calm down.

We have been extra strict and consistent since writing this post and she has been an angel for the past 3 days! It must be an age thing and testing boundaries.

I wouldn't give in so after 10 mins of crying he went and did something else. I know if I gave in, next time he'd got 15 mins as he'd think it worked last time, but now hope he won't try again. Husband and I are trying to be same.<br /><br />Sounds like you've done all that already so must be a terrible twos phase.<br /><br />The baby talk sounds like attention seeking though, so she must feel she needs some for some reason<br /><br />Liska xxxNewMumOnlinehttp://newmumonline.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4543684216104683021.post-78037254680737253742011-05-26T23:23:52.500+01:002011-05-26T23:23:52.500+01:00Oh Hun I know it must be so hard.

They don't teach you how to manage this anywhere do they and it is like having a teenager who cannot communicate their needs or wishes. Frustrating for all concerned . It will pass!

Definately might be worth giving them a go! I am sure it is just a phase and she will go back to being an angel soon! xMrs Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11819808861538113950noreply@blogger.com
