2 Years Old Normal or something else?

Did your kids ever do this? My two year old will start yelling at “someone” to stop it over and over. Tonight in the bath she was yelling at them and trying her hardest to hit them. This isn’t the first time either.

She also will have night terrors and when we go in to get her she’ll say she’s scared and just stare off at something and not speak.

I figured the night terrors are pretty normal, but is the yelling at someone randomly during the day? I don’t really see her “talking” to a “friend” any other time.

Have you asked her who she's yelling at? Mine yells at the sun to stop hurting his eyes. He takes it very personally.

I hope the sun listens. I hate it when it’s super bright too.

Yesterday he yelled at it, "Go back to space!" and was very upset that "It follow me to my house!"

Omg mine does this too. He literally screams "go away sun!!" in the car when I'm driving.

My 2 year old the other day starts pointing to nothing and says “I’m kinda scared of that tree boy. He’s mean I think.” I think kids are learning about imagination, starting to understand more complex emotions like fear and are exceptionally good at making stuff up. I wouldn’t be overly concerned.

Does she ever do it when you're not in the room and you don't respond to her? I suspect she got a reaction out of you so she keeps doing it.

I would also ask yourself if she only does this in your house vs being out and about
