It really depends on the child. For some, the age of two can be terrible. Other kids might have a "mid life crisis" at the age of 4. Do expect to have one year of lots of fits and crying. It comes at the age of two for a lot of children, but that is not set in stone. Once you get past it, you should have relatively smooth sailing til puberty.

I agree it should be terrible toddlers. I have 3 boys. 6, 3 and almost 2. My two oldest boys started the terrible 2's at about 1 1/2. It didn't end with my oldest till he started Kindergarten and my middle son is still going through it. My baby on the other hand has been in the terrible two stage since he could walk. And he'll be two on the 30th. Good luck! As far as gender I wouldn't know I only have boys.

I dont think boys or girls can be worse than the other and the terrible 2's are only bad if the child has no boundaries. if the child has no structure at a young age then when does it learn to behave. im not saying spank but some type of discipline is necessary

Generally the "terribles" can range from one and half to four. As far as which gender is "worse" that depends wholly on the child. My son was terrible, for about a year. My daughter has been terrible for the last three years. My son is gernally more quiet though, and my daughter is a drama queen, so I think that makes a difference.

Terrible twos aren't that bad, but the boys are worse.

i have raised 8 kids- all adults now. the "terrible twos" start at 16-18 months and last till about 4 1/2-5. sorry. but this is the time your child begins to become autonomous, make their own decisions and develop their own reactions to their surroundings. it causes serious conflict because its a huge task to learn. stand your ground in making the best decisions for your child. give them choices where reasonable, suffer consequences when necessary, and always remember-YOU are the adult in charge of their safety and development. its a rough, rewarding period. when your child is about 5 years old, you'll love the results. good luck!!!

Just keep him really active! Find a park or find a good swimming pool and enroll the boy in the swimming babies program. Swimming is really good because it's fun and it makes them hungry and then very sleepy and you get a little time out, too. Keep one cabinet he can get into without you worrying where there are plastics or even pots with wooden spoons that he can bang. If you don't mind the noise. LIke I said, just keep him busy.

It all depends.. my oldest daughter was a breeze at 2s, and a bit more challenging at 3s. Youngest daughter is 1 1/2 and she's into everything now and has a little attitude now and then. I have only daughters, but I have nephews. From observations, girls are easier in the younger years at least.

A boy is worse, girls are usually angels.
