I need advice, my 17 month old just started not acting herself . . . . IDK if it's a faze or if she…

You are entering the terrible 2's, which will probably get worse and last well beyond her 3rd birthday 🤐

I'm worried that she might b autistic its constantly on my brain.

@mlentner0808 Make a note of all the specific behaviours and habits that you're worried about and ask her pediatrician if it could be anything.

But most likely she's a perfectly normal toddler trying to assert her independence. I remember when my eldest flipped a switch, from sweet and mild baby, to crazy tantrum throwing toddler 😆 It's a very rough time, haha

It's testing my husband and i's relationship.

@mlentner0808 also, when responding to someone's comment, be sure to click reply or tag them 😊 Otherwise we won't know you responded. It's kinda dumb, haha

I know it sounds stupid but I feel she doesn't love me

@mlentner0808 what all behavior is she exhibiting?

@joanna.davis Ohhhh like this lol is it normal for them to smack them self?

@mlentner0808 Yes!

And yep, totally normal. Not all kids do it, but a lot of them do. It's a classic tantrum ingredient.
