My son is 19 months old, and I can't imagine him getting more "terrible" lol. He allready LOVES the word "no," and he's mastering the art of the temper tantrum. Is he just a stinker, or could he allready be starting this phase?

Mine started somewhere between 16 and 17 months. It worked out well-- it was over by the time he was 22 months.

As a psychology important i could inform you there is not any such component because of the fact the "undesirable twos" it extremely is this way of undesirable call. it is going to be reported as the "marvelous twos" because of the fact at this point the toddler realises his/her international ecosystem. The have reached a feeling of autonomy and that they have got understand the impact they have in this international. particular he is going to decline, and scream, cry, touch issues you save telling him not , however the toddler does this to objective your reaction and the outcomes for his or her strikes. be careful of how you act in direction of his/her new self discovery, unfavorable and punishment finally ends up in shame and doubt and the toddler will grow to be timid. And particular around 18 months the chaos starts until eventually the toddler reaches 4yrs of age and whilst he interacts with different infants.

He could be a little spoiled. It happens. My kids were pretty nasty from 18 months to about 3 and a half. Then it was like somebody flipped a switch and they were good again. You just have to be patient. I'm sure he isn't bad all the time it just seems like it. This is a tough time for toddlers. They have to process a lot. Speaking, potty, sippy cups, self feeding, and time out. Good luck!

That sounds about right. A year and a half is usually when it starts, but it doesn't usually escalate when they turn two. It pretty much stays the same. At two, they've just figured out YOUR patterns,so stand your ground early. I remember when my daughter started, I asked my mom is there such a thing called "Terrible Ones?"

He's probably just early. My son was an absolute darling...until he was 4. Bam! Different kid. And here I thought I had escaped it.
Consider yourself lucky. They are more susceptible to behavioral techniques when young and you can nip this in the bud now.

My oldest started at 3 and my youngest and just a year and a half. It depends on the child.

18 mos for my first...waiting for the second to start his.
A friend and I were laughing the other day about the misnomer 'terrible two'. She said 'my son's started at 18 mos and lasted until he was five!' :)
