What duah can I read for my restless 2-year-old daughter?

The age which your daughter is at, is commonly termed the “terrible twos!”. Insha-Allah Ta’ala, there is nothing to worry about. What you need to do, is focus on your child’s needs and be firm when required. Insha-Allah Ta’ala, they will soon grow out of this state. Just be patient.

Tips for helping your toddler during the terrible twos include:

* having a regular routine for meals, naps, bedtime, etc. and try to stick to them each day

* offer limited choices only, like ‘would you like apples or oranges for your snack’ and not just ‘what do you want for your snack.’ This helps your toddler feel like he is making some decisions and has power over things, but he isn’t able to choose unacceptable alternatives.

* learn to set limits about things and don’t be surprised when your toddler tries to test those limits to see what he can get away with

* don’t give in to tantrums

* begin to use time-out and taking away privileges as discipline techniques

* provide your toddler with a safe environment that is well childproofed to explore and play in. It really isn’t fair that your toddler should get in trouble for playing with something he isn’t supposed to if you left it within reach.
