ε·§ε that some recent conversations with friends landed on the term “terrible two”, and yes, these friends have young ones either 24 mths old or fast approaching that “magical number” π
however, i shared with them a good-er view of the age, and i termed it “Incredible Two”. why incredible instead of terrible? well, my personal experience were, juniors at this age can really do unexpected things that simply put you in a state of “unbelievable”! these things are incredible cos (jaded) grown ups will never do those things (except we din realise these are not adults; we are but examining their behaviours thru the righteous adult lens).
yup, so if u too are having a junior approaching this magical age, put on the Incredible Two lens, and your (parenthood) experience may just be different from others (who ε ε ₯δΈΊδΈ» and used the “terrible” lens).
