toba hai, stop complaining about your MIL, please
Re: shrieks and screams from 2 yr old.
terrible twos......good luck.
not much you can do but avoid giving in.
if you do that will let her know that no matter what she does she is not going to get to you.
as soon as you show frustration or desperation she will learn that her behaviour is working.
Re: shrieks and screams from 2 yr old.
Terrible twos and temper tantrums go together mostly at this age.
It can be screaming or shrieking or whining or crying or just going 'naraz' if they do not get their way.
Few things which can help (and have helped me sometimes) include distraction (they are still easy to distract at this age)...ignoring (not when you are in a public setting though)...going to their eye level and trying to talk to them (believe me it can work..!)..
Things which will not work...screaming with them or at them...hitting them...dragging them to a corner for a time out.
Things which need to be fixed if it is happening too much ....avoid losing your own temper with them,avoid screaming at them when they are just not listening to you.
All this I say from some personal experience.It is easy to get mad at them when they are doing some zidd or whatever,but that is the last thing you want to do.
Handle them gently like a person and they respond better.
Good luck...:)

Really Chips6? Thappars don’t work? Our parents seemed to have things down pat. I never saw the terrible twos in our family

Re: shrieks and screams from 2 yr old.
Terrible twos is not something I made up.It has been a known fact for ages and is even mentioned in pediatric textbooks.Some kids have terrible phases which lasts beyond the second year of life and some do not.
Kids pick up and learn things from the household and how people in the house talk to each other and react to each other which includes yelling and screaming and hitting and throwing stuff and banging doors etc etc..(this is NOT in reference to OP…!!)
I am not in favor of hitting a toddler.I have no experience with older kids so cannot say how to deal with them.IMO if I hit them,I will only tell them that it is ok to hit others to get your own way and that is not acceptable to me.They will eventually grow resistant to thappars too…what then…??
P.S…I have had my share of thappars from my ammi…
.But I don’t think so I will be able to hit mine.I just don’t want to…!

Re: shrieks and screams from 2 yr old.
NO, i dont like hitting, but my husband does. in fact its atleast twice a day. not hard, but a thappar. there are times i want to slap her too, but once he does, my heart melts and i want to pick her up and run away with her far away from anyone who would even touch a hair on her heard.
Re: shrieks and screams from 2 yr old.
boys should not raise hands on girls. even if they are fathers.
Re: shrieks and screams from 2 yr old.
Don't feed her coke/Pepsi.
Re: shrieks and screams from 2 yr old.
Mend your ways, are you people fighting in front of kids? shouting in front of kids?
Stop doing this and kid will behave, he just thinks it the only possible way to get thing done in this house.
Re: shrieks and screams from 2 yr old.
Its just a phase, like most of what normal 2 year olds do. Kids around this age tend to get stuck in a gear for a month or two, and then grow out of it and move on. So you will have phases which include nastiness, sweetness, and everything in between. Just enjoy the good moments and ignore the bad ones.
Re: shrieks and screams from 2 yr old.
explain to her that it's not nice to scream, and to talk to mama about what she wants, failing that do not give into her demands, distract her. Failing that and she becomes naughty etc, time out. DO NOT HIT A 2 YEAR OLD. Awful behaviour from a parent, i'm sorry but your husband 'slapping' your child twice a day will only result in even more negative behaviour. Violence breeds violence, and it's a pretty jaahil approach. There are other ways to discipline with patience and communication.
Re: shrieks and screams from 2 yr old.
I'm living this!!!! The terrible two's hit us hard as soon as she turned two. I swear, like the very next day the kid had turned into a little monster I couldn't even recognize. It is hard. All that whining, screaming, kicking ufff!
You know what works on my daughter when she has a fit? I get down on my knees to eye level and keep my calm no matter how much she's screaming and crying, tell her calmly why she can't have/do the thing she wants and that she needs to calm down. This doesn't work most of the times but she does calm down a little. Then I turn her focus on something else. Like I'll ask her to go get her doll or book. Children this age have very little attention span, next thing I know we're reading a book or playing with toys and she's forgotten about what ever it was she wanted that caused the fit.
I didn't know what to do at first, she was always a very sweet kid and always behaved lol ... but it helps not to give in to them. Like this morning I was working on some fondant figures and my daughter saw one of them and wanted to playwith (read-ruin) it, I put it up high on the shelf and told her that is mama's and she can play with her other toys. She threw a fit so I just walked off to her toy box, pulled a toy out and showed it to her. She forgot about the fondant and got busy playing with her own stuff :D
