two to three



Because of your child's desire to assert his
 
independence, these years are often called

"The Terrible Two's"!  If you realize the huge

social, emotional and intellectual changes

that you child is going through, you are better
 
able to understand and usually feel a little

less frustrated! 


Two to three year  old's are rapidly gaining 

language.  You'll hear their emerging
 
independence in their two favorite words:
 
"No!" and "Mine!".  Their emotions are all over
 
the place--crying one minute and laughing the

next!  

They are more sure of themselves in many ways

and love to explore their surroundings.

They are a bundle of energy and love
 
your attention!
