@bratbustersparenting: What's the best way to deal with a bossy two and a half year old? Don't let them boss you around. That's the best way to deal with it. And make sure you follow through when you say something is going to happen. You don't argue with a two and a half year old. Like if you’re going to change their diaper and they say no, I would pick him up and change the diaper. Over time, they just tend to stop saying no to that parent, because they just learn there's no point. Mean what you say, and say what you mean. Looking for extra guidance on parenting toddlers?
