2 year old fits!!

My daughter turned 2 in March and since then she has gradually started to get an attitude on her. She is really good for the most part but when she doesn't get something she wants or get her way she throws a huge fit. She jumps up and down and screams a screeching noise that my ears hurt. How can I get her to stop doing that? I put her on the stairs in timeout when she acts that way and I wait until she is done crying to talk to her but 5 minutes later, she'll do it all over again if she doesn't get something. Any advice is welcomed!
Thanks!!

The Terrible 2s arrived in earnest for us a few months ago. We can always tell when she's overtired or hungry because it's that much worse. Lately she's added a whiny fake cry when she's corrected on something (told she may not do something, etc.) that grates on our nerves like fingernails on a chalkboard. Deep breaths, and tagging out between my husband and me when our fuses are running short... and oh, we can't wait for her to outgrow this!

I always thought the 'terrible two's' was just a nickname a mother used to define her childs unruly behavior. This way, if his/her tantrums had a name, then "Gods gift to children type mothers", wouldnt assume the worst of her parenting. Then my daughter turned two. i deal with it differently every single time. Sometimes, I do the time out on the stairs, and to be completely honest, that doesnt work too well for me. And the "i dont like that, zion", you know in the mummy tone of voice,(you know the one), and then theres the getting down to their level, (literally), and asking her over and over what it is she want, explain why she cant have it, do that a couple times...and hope for the best! If it hasnt stopped, I've learnt to ignore it and carry on with whatever it i was doing. The point I tend to replay in my head, is that all things must come to an end...and after being two, they always turn three... ALL THE BEST!

I ignore her sometimes but other times I put her on the stairs because she is out of control. I will try to just ignore it all together and use the stairs for more of a discipline when she does something wrong. Thanks!

Ignore it, that's what I do. The more attention you give to it ie: time outs, the more she is going to do it.
