[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your TWO year old, not 27 month old. After 18 months, you need to stop using months.

Also, your toddler is crying because you are a jerk.[/quote]

There is a HUGE difference between a 24 month old and a 36 month old.  Months matter — until at least 4, although after 3, quarters (3 and a half) are fine.  This matters because developmental norms and expectations matter quite a lot, but even more when formulating recommendations for young children.

OP : At some point, it might be useful if you could get a child development specialist / child psychologist to observe your daughter’s behavior and interactions with you, possibly even at home.  I say this because it might change their suggestions and your interventions.

Someone asked where you live, and I get your reluctance to be specific. I’ll simply say that in NYC I might see if the Bank Street School for Children can make recommendations. I’d also think about the Yale Child Study Center , Children’s Hospital in DC and the NYU Child Study Center— as possible starting points, in part because they can provide multi-disciplinary assessments, should that be needed.
