Two Terrible Two questions...

Can you explain what the terrible twos are, exactly?
My toddler is not two, yet his behavior makes me wonder if this is what the terrible twos is.

And if it he is experiencing the terrible twos at not yet a year and a half old, do I seriously have this to look forward to for another year?
He's a very sweet boy, but my word, does he have his moments...

Please... Share your experiences and your advice.
I just don't know what to do some days. (link)
Well the "Terrible Two's" consist of your child: Biting, hitting, yelling, everything is theirs, they don't believe in the word NO. Your toddler might have frequent mood changes and temper tantrums. I have a little boy as well who is only a year and a half and is already experiencing the "terrible twos". To help you cope with this normal stage in your child's development, you should always remember that your child isn't trying to be defiant or rebellious on purpose. He is just trying to express his growing independence and doesn't have the language skills to easily express his needs. This can also be the reason why your toddler frequently gets frustrated and resorts to hitting, biting, and temper tantrums when he doesn't get his way.

Thanks for answering! Just for future reference, it was pointed out to me that most of what you said is exact to what is said on another website. Be sure to credit the places you get exact info from so you don't get into any kind of trouble. ;-) Not cutting you down, because I do appreciate your answer! :-D
