None works every time as a cure-all, but taken together and used creatively, they make a difference in your daily interactions. ...Isn't it interesting how the 2-year-old phase is thought of as the difficult, defiant time? And yet all that is is the beginning of what you're describing now: a child's start at autonomy and communicating her will to those around her. ...I totally agree that giving them those extra 3 seconds makes a HUGE difference.
