I figured out why it is called the terrible two's

It's not because they all of the sudden start acting so much worse. It is not because they refuse to cooperate. It is not because they are headstrong. It is all of the above and because not one thing gets resolved before another one starts. THAT is why it feels like things are so much worse. I feel like before now we would have one problem (behavior issue, refusing to eat, not sleeping etc.) and would focus solely on that issue until it was resolved. Now, the problems are coming so fast that I cannot bat them all away. He refuses to eat anything except sandwiches and goldfish. He pushes other kids. He climbs on everything and then jumps off of it. He refuses to respond to punishment of any kind. One after another after another without resolution to ANYTHING. I need a bigger bat.
