Well it depends on the child. Every child has his or her own temperments from birth. The terrible twos really do seem to last forever. Just give her more structure, but at the same time some more personal freedoms. I know it is hard but dont give in. Try to refocus her attention. Seriously it does work. Kids who are bored are usually harder to deal with. I have 4 kids with completely different personalities. Try watching nanny 911, its great for ideas. Some child pyschology books are great places to start.

you are about right on all kids are different terrible two's horrible threes but the important thing is like you said do not let the child get her way all the time when she does throw a fit especially tell her that since she threw a fit now she will not get it but remember that when she finds other ways to deal with it you need to reward her by giving it to her then you may think that she is only 2 and will not understand this but she will after all she learned that when she acts like that she usually or even just sometimes will get what she wants of course when they are just babies that is the only way for them to tell you what they want now you need to teach her that there is a better way and she will learn it probably faster than you think. in fact i would even tech her by putting something in front of her that you know she will want and tell her if you say please or whatever word or gesture you would rather see out of her then she can have it do that a few times and then when she decides she wants something tell her the same thing like say please or whatever gesture you have chosen and only give it to her when she does it she will learn fast and be patient and consistent do not give in once you start this not even once kids will push the issue until you give up if you let them good luck

There is no set time line. Often they start months before 2nd birthday and from the terrible twos comes the treacherous 3's. Many people agree that 3 is worse then 2.

My daughter started at 18 months and just turned three - I started to see a declime in our outbursts and temper tantrums just recently. But I think every child is different. Tell her to hang in there - it will get a little better - but I know it can drive you batty!

My child started the terrible twos at the age of one. This is a phase kids go through, however it depends on the child as to how long it lasts everyone is different.

Till they move out ... really tho..I have 3 teenage daughters I never experienced the so called "Terrible Two's" stage with any of them ..It has been the 'Terrible Teens" ,,,but I also have a 4 yr old son and he's been Terrible since he could talk :-)DEFINITELY depends on the way we raise them,,consistency's the most important thing !! (I believe)

twos are not that terrible threes are far worse. You are a smart man three and a half is when things start to get better most of the time they whine for attention good or bad so just try not to give in to her that's the only thing i can suggest my son just has started to get better and he is going to be four in march. So good luck

Good luck with that estimation. :) I have found it goes in stages. Two year olds love to test limits in one way, three year olds test them in another way, etc. Just think of it as the terrific twos. Yes, she is testing and throwing tantrums, but she is also learning to talk, potty, and other wonderful things on her own. Every transition stage has "terrible" moments, just be consistent and loving in how you deal with it!
