My two year old daughter is very disturbing at bedtime. She will be very good then all of a sudden she takes her p.j.s off, tells me to move from the chair and doesn't like to be touched. If I cross my legs she gets upset or move at all she gets furious and screams. She also comes into our bedroom at night and if try to console her she gets more upset and tells me to move. Any suggestions?

That's normal at that age my two daughters had gone through that too.
I think they started getting conscious that they are separate from their mother and get aware of the feeling of fear for the first time.
Try to talk to her and appease her gently show her that even if she wakes up and does't find you you are always near to help and stop any fear.I opted for talk with my daughter and believe me they understand even if they are two.
Second try to set a ritual for bed children feeel secure with that.I for examle start by warning her that after 5 minutes we will go to bed( that helps when she is engaged in a game so you don't interrupt her rigidly) then smilingly we go to the bathrom and brush our teeth together then I go to bedroom and start reading a short lovely story for her( she adores that) finally a kiss on the fore head and some gentle words to tell her you're going out of the room but you'll stay near.
It may doesn't work easily at first but then by magic every thing starts to change. Just be patient but categoric don't show her you're alarmed or anxious.children are very intelligent she will feel it and feel no more secure. Good luck.
