I keep everything at proper place but She doesn't want to keep any thing at proper place so it become very difficult to me to arrange all things whole day.Now she started screaming and crying.I'm worried for her(specially her behavior).Please advise me.............Do i need to go her Dr.????? tensed mom replied. hi,

Mama replied. My son is 2 and 1/2 yrs now and is so very active. What all you have written about your daughter my son was doing the same things but now he is becoming little more less active. Now i am sending him to pre-school and within a few days he has learnt to talk in english also. He know evrything from when he was like 16 or 18 months all alphabets, rhymes, numbers, answers to simple questions like \";what is you name\"; \";what is your fathers name etc\"; but he was always very active throwing things and not listening to me but the only best thing ws whatever i taught him he remembered very quickly. So no need for doctor just try to get her attension to something that she may like very much like my son loves reading books so that the only thing doing which he will sit quietly. All the best to you. mita replied. Don't worry.... My daughter is 24 month old and she is an active toddler,too.I have tried everything for her but nothing worked out.I started giving her time-out, but she screams a lot, she wants me to hold her when i'm very very angry.She stopped taking nap in the day-time.She is driving me crazy all day.She goes to preschool twice a week for2 hrs and she behaves good there.But she is really hyper at home.I'm not able to keep my house clean.Now I gave up..I hope she'll be ok in near future.

So don't worry about her.

Don't worry.... My daughter is 24 month old and she is an active toddler,too.I have tried everything for her but nothing worked out.I started giving her time-out, but she screams a lot, she wants me to hold her when i'm very very angry.She stopped taking nap in the day-time.She is driving me crazy all day.She goes to preschool twice a week for2 hrs and she behaves good there.But she is really hyper at home.I'm not able to keep my house clean.Now I gave up..I hope she'll be ok in near future.

So don't worry about her.

Well, I started little bit early, no other choice was not there !!!!When she was 20 month old I put her in "Mothers' day out program". They have two days a week for three hrs. She is learning lot of thing there. Though she is an early bloomer for everything, but she is becoming a bit of disciplined.But still she is hyper at home. She likes painting, reading books etc. So I give washable crayons, water paint, play dough,and lots of board books from library. I take her to the library for story time once a week.She loves all kids' songs.I keep her engaged with all these. But still if I talk over phone, or sit in front of computer she gets irritated.She needs 100% attention.
But she has improved a lot.I always compare how bad she was and how she is now.
don't worry.She'll be alright.
