kids that age have just learned the concept of NO and theyre testing it out to see how well it works. if youre the boss, then youre going to have to override the kid's no in instances of bath time and behavior, but otherwise it doesnt really matter and once the novelty of it wears off then the kid will only use no at appropriate times.

Wait until she's three.
Two-year-olds are learning how to become individuals, and have learned the power of no. It'll pass.

teach him/her more words they arent nessasarily doing it to be rebelious, they do it because they here that word more than most at this age and so they learn to say it... teach them to say yes, ok, even u-oh and they will have a new word that they say all of the time.... dont forget that while they are saying no they are showing you something that they have learned and they still need positive reinforcement for it even if it does annoy you...
good luck.

Give them more options. Let them say, "Yes." And make sure your two year old hears more than "No" come out of your mouth.

Ignore it. S/he'll get over it. They don't call them the "terrible twos" for nothing.
Or ask specific questions that require a "yes" answer (like "do you want a treat")

If you explain to her whatever it is you want, or are trying to do, and give her more options in the situation. I'm sure she'll say "yes" to something.

It should go away within a year, just make sure it is developing normally

Say no back whenever they want you to do something for them. That will teach he/she real fast, haha. If it get's bad you could throw he/she in a time out, no t.v. etc.

well be glad it is no right now cause very soon the word is going to be " WHY".
they just repeat, they don't really know what it means. they just know when they say it, we say something back to them. just hang in there. it will soon be something else.
