Your two year old is learning about relationships.
- They are sometimes able to imagine how other people feel, but most of the time their own feelings of jealousy and loving passion for the people in their family are so strong that they don't have room for imagining other people's feelings.
- They are starting to try and keep their feelings inside and can feel very bad if they think they have done a wrong thing.
They can often play together for short periods but easily get upset and cross with each other.
- A 2 year old is still learning to see himself as a separate person and therefore often wants to say "No".
- He knows what he wants and may appear quite bossy and become cross when he cannot do something or is stopped from doing something, because he hasn't really learned to manage feelings yet. As a result temper tantrums are quite common in this age group.
- A 2-3 year old may play with other children for a short while but he cannot share. He acts in response to what he wants and may grab and push.
- A 2-3 year old finds it hard to wait or make a choice.
- A 2-3 year old cannot yet understand reason or control his impulses - he may know what you want him to do but he can't yet make himself do it if he wants to do something else.
- Your child loves to copy what adults do and the way you look, eg making houses out of boxes and rugs, dressing up, digging in the garden.
