Can you help me with me two year old? ?
It could be any number of things, or a combination of things. I find my daughter gets crabby/throws fits when she's tired or hungry more than at any other time. She also may be testing her limits again, just to make sure that the boundaries haven't changed. Finally, she may be getting frustrated because she can't communicate what it is she wants effectively, so she throws a fit. My son is that way right now. He gets frustrated when things don't go the way he wants them to, but doesn't have all the words to communicate what he needs, so he throws a fit. Something that helps with that is to ask him "Can you show Mommy what you want?" And yes, I also ignore the tantrums sometimes, but if we're out in public and either child throws a fit, we are done doing whatever we were doing and I take them home. I will not reward that behavior.
