Carolyn Hax: Is it normal for a 2-year-old to be biting and hitting?

That mentioned, I do want we might extricate ourselves from the “regular” phrase. My mates who had children earlier than me ended up with these excellent, obedient children. I had a wild factor, and I spent three years in hell questioning why my child wasn’t like all the opposite children. Then my mates had second children and now we’ve a wild baby help group, of types. It turned out I wasn’t simply improperly reproducing; having children who show so-called “regular” habits is a crapshoot. And a number of the older, excellent/obedient children are turning out to be … much less so. Life, eh.
