Try putting her in day care a few hours a week. Or join somewhere she can interact with other kids. She will have to learn to be around other kids and get socialized. At first she may be a brat and not want to share, but she'll adjust to it eventually

U could try taking her 2 parks & have her interact with other children. U shouldn't b 2 worried about her being selfish at the start of pre-school, most kids tend 2 b thst way as an only child with hardly any interaction with other children. She will eventuallly get in the habit.

They only know what u let them get away with. Teach her time out. Let her see u sharing with other people. This is a difficult but yet adorable age. First off, stop giving into her. Tell her grandparents u need their help too so she will turn out the way u want her to. Show her, in a very loving way, that when u don't share, it get's taken away for good. CONSISTENCY is the key. Trust me. Been there, done that with twins.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think 2 yr olds should even be in school yet. They should start around the age of 4 or 5.

You need to intergrate her with other children. Also if you get it try watching super nanny and get some ideas. A naughty spot would also work. Find a place that you could put a small rug or a chair that she goes to when she misbehaves. Thats is what super nanny does.

I dont believe in spanking they are too young and it does not help it only teaches violence but the time out works great for my 22 mo old. you may have to keep taking her back to the time out spot at first but eventually she will figure out she has to stay and there are consequences. I give my girl 2 warning then she goes to time out. we started time outs at 15 mo and now usually after one warning of it she will comply with my wishes. Be sure to love and praise after time out.

STOP SPOILING HER!! The only way she will stop whining and behave is if you teach her. She has had a good life so far, and now that she starts preschool she has to learn about REAL life. Teach her to count her blessings, and if she is ungrateful then take away what she is taking for granted. Don't let her run your life, you run HERS.

Don't label her.
Stop calling her names!
'Snot' is ok if used with a hug... :)

You have to show her who's boss. Do you spank her? it's probably time to start.
