[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Examples:

- There is a bin of dried beans with scoops and trucks in it.  DD takes the beans in her hands and drops them on the floor.  Host or I will tell her that the beans stay in the bin.  DD does it again.  Same correction.  DD does it again.  The other kids also did it but stopped after the first time they were corrected.

- DD took a scoop from another bin and threw it on the floor.  The host asked her to please pick it up and put it back.  DD didn't understand what she was asking her to do and the host sort of rolled her eyes.

These are two examples from two days ago.

That’s not high energy. That’s disobedience. You are clueless about your child’s actual behavior. [/quote]

My goodness, it is amazing what anonymity can do.  I had to really check myself when it came to DCUM v. Actual life when my son was younger.  People on here, very critically, start saying a child should have it all figured out by 1.5 or 2.  I remember when mine was 2, and reading this type of stuff on here and then looking at my son’s contemporaries and thinking “none of them are even CLOSE to that.”  The child OP is talking about is TWO.  As in, was recently ONE.  The behavior she is citing is annoying because many many 2 year olds are annoying.  But it is utterly normal.  Getting worked up into a lather like PP about the child’s “disobedience” is absurd.

That said, OP, maybe be more hands on with that stuff.  The host may have been stifling her eye roll at YOU because you weren’t intervening.  I hate having to discipline a child when their out to lunch parent is sitting right there.

Also, my now energetic, mischievous boy was a “marshmallow” angel when he was 2.  They change quick so no one should go counting their chickens just yet. [/quote]
