Ok so my two year old is usually good at listening and puts her own toys away etc.....But lately she thinks its ok to push (the best a lil toddler can push) me out of her way. And she tells me no and points for me to go to the corner. She only does it when her dad or other relatives are around .She only see's her dad on the weekend since he goes out of state for college in the week. When it is just me and her she's an ANGEL. How do I get her to stop?

NEVER give into the child needs, If she is being like that or crying about something stupid or she wants something, tell her No and never give in. Why do you think babies cry when you put them down, they know that you dont want to deal with them crying so you pick them back up. Same thing!

typical toddler temper tantrum, also trying to mock your dominance as a parent. she's just trying to be like her parents in a way.
It could be a response to nervousness when other relatives are around, her her father who she's less familiar with. In this case, she's trying to maintain control if she feels overwhelmed or like she doesn't have much control.
It is difficult to change a two year old's behavior, as they are often too young to respond to a reward system, but it is important to try. Start by using a word replacement. Try substituting the words "be gentle" for "push." Tell your daughter, "No pushing. Be gentle." And stroke her to show her what you mean.

Tell her that hands are for playing and praying, not pushing. Show her how your hands can play, pray, hug, throw a kiss,eat etc.
Tell her very firmly "No Ma'am" we don't push!
Sit her in a corner and tell her "We need to talk about this." Have a 2 year old conversation about what she's doing wrong. Everytime she does it, tell it's time to have a talk about this, and sit down with her in a certain corner and tell her what hands are for.

dicipline her by putting her on the Naughtybench! Everytime she does that ! tell her this is a no no ! she is 2 years old ! let her see that you will punish her also when the dad is around and the relatives!

Try time-out every time she hits. Two minutes only.

"You do not push mommy" - firmly. Then you put her in time out. I personally advocate spanking, so if you do, she gets a swat.
You have to firmly establish the fact that you are the parent and pushing is not acceptable.

Sounds like she's frustrated when someone else is around. Maybe she doesn't like others getting your attention. Give her a hug and tell her you love her.

Simple, discipline her. You're the parent. Let her know that now or you are going to have more problems in the future.

yeah i agree....when she does something like that to you you need to send her to the corner. if you dont she may lose respect for what you tell her to do which could turn into a major problem!
hope i helped=)

Take charge irrespective of who is around. She is YOUR toddler. Be the adult. Act it.
Good luck.
