Hi everyone.
I wasn't sure how to start this post, my daughter (2 years and 2 months old) isn't behaving 'terribly', in fact I consider myself very lucky. She is very well intentioned, but to the point of being dangerous.
She wants to help all the time. She is rarely interested in playing with her toys, she is glued to me all the time. She goes to nursery so isn't clingy in that way, its just that she wants to be with me all the time when at home.
She loves to clean, help prepare food, washing - everything that a perfect housewife would do. I know this sounds great but the trouble is of course she doesn't know her limits. For example, she would live in the kitchen if she had the choice. She wants to sit on the worktops all the time so that she can play with cups and other pottery items and glasses in the cupboards. She likes to help prepare foods, which includes tantruming if I won't give her the knife and she likes to stir food in the pans which of course is a no-no. I involve her as much as possible, but there comes a point when I have to say no and then she tantrums.
Most of her toys are kitchen/housework orientated and she has dozens of toy knives, forks, plates etc but she just insists on wanting to play with the real thing.
I am confident though that I am doing everything I can to protect her (short of locking her out of the kitchen). We are in a happy relationship with her father so if I have to take my eyes off her for even a second he comes to help watch her.
hey everyone, my son is 2 in july but the thing is im concerned about his speach, he seems to say a very few words, its just babbles really he doesnt seem to try and learn words all he can say is hi, mum, dad, 1,2,3 and gone. thats about it he mainly does signs and winges for when he wants something. i dont know if its something to do with when my daughter was born shes now 4 months old as ive heard that older childern take a step back sometimes, but he just seems to speak in his own language i repeat words to him and show what they are ie; toy, car, book etc but nothing seems to take hold, can anyone help???
