[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 324638, member: 1233"] Whether it is "typical" 2yo stuff or trying to get attention the wrong ways because she saw her brother do it, the best books in my opinion are Love & Logic Magic for Early Childhood and The Explosive Child. The Early Childhood section of the forum has a thread at the top about adapting TEC for very young children. It is simply amazing! The Love and Logic book is what saved my children's lives at 2-3 yos. Personally I thought 2 was awesome and funny and 3 was MUCH worse, but my husband thought the opposite. We both found help with this book. The 2 books can be used together and neither one is as heavy to read as some parenting books are. Another thing to consider is that 2-3 is about the time many of our kids start showing their disorders through difficult behaviors. I am NOT saying your daughter will automatically have some disorder. It doesn't work that way. However, I would estimate that 90%+ of us started out with ADHD diagnosis for our difficult children. It took years after that for all of the behaviors to show and to get the docs to help us identify them. With an older sibling with ADHD your little one does have a risk of ADHD or another problem. But it is NOT guaranteed. Just something to keep your eye on. Maybe keep a calendar of what you do each day and what problems you have. That way if there IS a problem you iwll have some notes to help you figure it out. Chances are it is a combo of toddler behaviors and maybe some less desirable learned behaviors from her brother.
