The terrible TWOS

So now we are in the terrible two stage.  Actually, this is my favorite stage of growing up.  The world is so new, they are learning how to manipulate their world - good or bad,  it is the trial and error time.  So as a grandma, I need to tread lightly on what my child rearing style is and respect that of my grand daughter's parents.  So when the little one is throwing a fit, or being naughty - I need to refrain from laughing and be very supportive of my daughter putting her in time out.   Follow the mother's cue or the little one will learn that Grandma is a soft touch. ( which is true).  We can always go out for donuts or treats later.  :)
