good toy dump truck for 2 year old girl?




it8eazy


i only see my kid once a week, with me being military, and its usually at the park. whenever some kid has a toy dump truck there, she falls in love with it and thats all she wants to do. seeing this im wanting to buy her a dump truck, but there's just so many. im wanting something fairly inexpensive, maybe 25-30 bucks tops. im concerned with some, cause she pushed some of the kid's trucks and the dump bed flies up and smacks her in the face, or it shoots out in front of her and face first into the sand. so that being said, what kinda toy dump truck you guys recommend?


Answer
My two year old daughter has a Tonka dump track.
Get one with a plastic lining so the bed wont cut her lip if it pops up? Ones with bigger tires stay grounded better. She also would probably like it is there was a lip or wall on the back of the bed so she can run around with it and not have her toys fall out. It probably doesnt have to be a dump truck if you are worried about the bed flipping... it could be a monster truck or a jeep too. You could even take her with and let her pick exactly what shed wants.

My 2 years old girl doesn't like toys!!?

Why my 2 years old girl doesn't like any toy? she never stick to any kind of toys.
Also I have problem to make her listen to me! She is just stubborn, I mean she doesn't do what you ask her to do, not because she doesn't want to, but because she want to not agree with anybody.. Is that make sense?
Finally, when she wants something, and I deny it from her she will start crying and not stop until she get it!!
I am tired from that and I don't know what I can do. any help can give me a hope. any guide, any site, and advice, or any previous experience could help. she is my first daughter and the only kid that I have.



Answer
Sounds like you are stressed out. This age is the time you should be enjoying your daughter...
I gave another user this answer and seems to help me.

I'm sorry to hear that your having a difficult time with your toddler. First of all it's totally normal for your toddler to behave that way however, the key to successful parenting during this stage is to guide and channel his behavior in a positive manner.
For example, you need to first identify why she's yelling, throwing things, hitting and kicking (if she does this). A lot of the times they just want some attention from you. Try to listen to her needs. Be consistent with your discipline (don't let her stand on the chair one day and the next day not allow her)... that sends mixed messages to her. When she hits, kneel to his level look at him in the eyes and tell him "No hitting, hitting hurts" and send her straight to time out for 30 seconds and give her the opportunity to do things right by allowing her to play with the person she hit.

Also, praise her constantly. If you are only looking at the negative things she does then you are never reinforcing the positive things she does. Example, Jane you are sitting nicely in your chair, or you doing a great job playing with your toys/ sibling or wow, Jane you ate very well. The more praise the more likely she will continue with tha good behavior.

These are just some of the things I do with my toddler. I must admit that I had the same exact problem since she turned 18 months but now that she's 24 months, I've applied the methods I just describe (and other ones). I've seen a 180 degree change. My daughter is so pleasant to be around again. Of course she will continue to throw tantrums and not listen but I now have the tools to make my life (and hers as well) easier.

I highly suggest you look into reading "Parenting with Purpose, Progressive Discipline from Birth to Four" by Lynda Madison Ph.D.
This book is GREAT! Gives great examples how to discipline (which means 'teach" btw)
Also look on Dr. Sear's website (America's trusted pediatrician) under discipline and behavior for more tips.
