My girl is going to drive me nuts. She is 17mo now. Whenever we bring her back from childcare, she will scream shout and cry at watever small things that make her unhappy. When she touch things that is not allowed (electric or important stuffs) she will start her attitude. She can cry for 5mins straight. Dont know why. Only happened these few days. Is it the start of terrible 2s alr?
