The behavior of the 2 year old child

Have you ever heard of the “terrible twos”? This expression defines the behavior of many 2-year-olds.

  • Between the ages of 18 and 30 months old, your baby reaches a new stage in their development: they become more autonomous and has more control over their body and language.
  • They'll try to be more assertive, often by opposing themselves. “No” becomes one of their favorite words!
  • Your little one can turn into a little monster during a tantrum, crying, screaming, and making sudden gestures.
  • Don't panic, this is a temporary phase that happens to almost all 2-year-olds.
