We’ve heard of the “terrible 2s” but doesn’t it seem that 3 is much more challenging??
You’re not crazy.  It is certainly true that 2 year olds can be tough to take since many of them are just beginning to use words in full sentences and to finally be able to ask for what they want.  Two year olds want independence but they are also still wanting to be our baby.

You may have read it. This month’s Mothering Magazine has a beautiful article about a mother’s new approach to the age-old time out discipline tool. I’m not crazy about what time out has become either. It’s the new spanking for our generation of moms. It’s become a tool to punish rather than to teach.
