toddler girls aren't automatically calm
somewhere along the way, "she's a girl" got mistaken for "she'll be easy."
she won't be, not because something's wrong with her, but because two year olds are two year olds first and girls second. the calm, quiet, biddable version gets handed to her before she's old enough to choose it herself. and if she doesn't fit it, someone in the room decides she's the problem, not the expectation.
she's allowed to be as loud and as much as any two year old alive. that's not a flaw in her. that's just two.
try thiswatch what you praise. "good girl" for sitting still, silence for a boy doing the same thing, is a pattern she'll absorb long before she can name it. praise the specific thing, not the quiet.
we're finding 1000 mums who let her be as much as she is. between us, coming. link below if you're one.
