Hi all, My little boy will be two in a few weeks,just recently he's become very grizzly. We're not sure if it's just a phase(that will hopefully pass quick) or that he's teething/tired??
It is a very tough time as you will be playing with him nicely and he'll just be whiny all of a sudden.
Any advice would be welcome.
Cheers.

Hi jimjamsdad
I have posted some links to articoles that you might find helpful toread. There should be a specific 2+ section going on to the Child Development thread over the next few weeks so do visit that section again soon.
I have a 5 and 3 year old and to be honest the "terrible" twos were a difficult period but it does end ! Whern you say he get grizzly what do you mean exaclty? Mine used to just start to get in my face and rude, not do as they were asked and shout a lot.
Hi Harveysdad,thanks for the links they were quite interesting. When I mean grizzly,I mean we will be playing with his trains for example,and he will just get all grizzly and whiney if one falls of the track,or we'll be playing with his ball and it will roll away and he'll start. Maybe it is just the terrible two's starting as he's very head strong at the moment aswell. π )
Maybe i'll just have to get used to it...
Hey jimjamsdad welcome to Dadtalk!
Tough one this some thoughts are is it tiredness. You know how often their routine changes is he just getting tired at different points?
Is he in pain with teeth - sometimes they don't know whats wrong.
You could also look to help him to express his frustration / emotions... Helping kids realise and identify what they are feeling can be hard... Using words (and faces) to describe stuff could help both of you... I know we tried to give our kids key ones like - angry, sad, frustrated, happy, in pain etc
Hope this helps.

Hi Ronaldo,cheers for your advice mate,im starting to think that it was tiredness and maybe a bit of constapation. His routine was dissrupted at the weekend and hopefully it's just taken him a few days to get over it. Also he'd gone a couple of days without a poo,but he made up for it today π π π
Hopefully my happy little boy is back(at least until these terrible twos kick in) to normal..
P.S. Injury time winner or what π π
It seems to have got alot better,im thinking it was a simple case of messing his routine up big time.
Kids.... π ?
