Ksysia 25 | 428 13 Oct 2010 / #1That nice German-English couple I know have a 2.5 year old daughter. She's cute- blond and blue Barbie doll.I just want to say this - not that I have my own kids already, but 2.5 seems a little early for a contest of wills. Children are animals and nothing more. She can't bang the spoon on the table, etc. She's more and more restless and looks very tired. Probably she cries instead of sleeping.Not sure if that's normal in Germany.

SeanBM 34 | 5786 13 Oct 2010 / #4Sounds like a case of the Terrible twos.A child developmental stage which normally occurs around the age of two (but can start earlier) and consists of toddlers often saying no and throwing temper tantrums.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrible_twos

alexw68 13 Oct 2010 / #8not that I have my own kids already'Nuff said.Once you do all previously placed bets about how you'll behave with them (and I placed a fair few) are off.
