[quote=Anonymous]I agree with the suggestion to give choices. In general, even very verbal two and three year olds have less expressed language compared to their receptive language skills, and, often, lots and lots of feelings and ideas that they can’t easily express. For many kids, it helps if you can help articulate some of this. Even if you guess wrong, it’s often helpful. The goal is to get them to “use words” while also recognizing, sympathetically, that they may not have the “right” words to use yet. I would do this while consistently enforcing a small number of rules for safety. I might also try to distract her and calmly repeat what can happen later when she’s calmer. The deliberate head banging would be concerning to me. If it happens more than once, I think you should mention it to your pediatrician. Good for you with the regular vigorous exercise and 1,2,3 Magic (I’ve heard good thingd about this from people with tough kids). [/quote]
