I have 2 kids 1 who is 5 years. She is absolutely brilliant. She was even, when she was a baby. However, my 2 year old son is so much more hard work. Obviously going through the terrible 2s and that but wow is it stressing me out and making me cry for the last few weeks or so. I'm not sure how long this phase lasts. Is the whole time being 2 or what? I just feel useless when he just throws some random paddys. We are in a natural day to day routine so nothing has changed. Even this morning, he randomly threw a paddy walking my daughter into school which he's never done before.
Is there any advice or tips that anyone could help with to feel less stressed or may be to help with keeping my boy calm when he has his paddys. I never had this with my daughter so it's all new and stressful.

Hello Chow44 , it can feel very overwhelming, especially when you are looking after two children. An excellent source of information and learning is :justonenorfolk.nhs.uk/onlin... it covers all areas of child development and stages and covers all sorts of subjects, eg, behaviour, sleep, toilet training etc up until 19 years. If you get chance, have a look at that and you are welcome to call Just One Number for further information or support 0300 300 0123
Hiya, how are things going? I hope you were able to get a little support from just one number. I my children are all now approaching the teens (😱) but oh wow I still remember the toddler stage! I remember each of mine were completely different and needed different approaches. Did you manage to find something that helped?
Hiya MreHello, So things seemed to have calmed down at the moment. I'm not feeling as stressed and have noticed my 2 year old has started listening which is good. He's trying ever so hard to communicate in his own little way. So hopefully all is good for now. But i certainly will keep it in mind if i need help and phone the number. Thank you for your advice.
