How do you tell a 2 year old to not tell you no?
Answers:
A good way 2 fix this would be- 1) get out your playpen & use it only 4 time out (when she tells u no.) You don't wanna put her in her bed cause she might not wanna sleep in it after this. 2) You make her look @ you & tell her - NEVER TELL MOMMY AND DADDY NO. YOU DON'T TELL MOMMY & DADDY NO. YOUR IN TIME OUT FOR TELLING MOMMY NO. ( Always make sure you tell her why she's in time out.) I gaurantee this works & only takes 3 days tops if your consistant, and mean what you say. She will definatly get the message the right way!

They all do that. And you can't stop them.
Beat him. That always worked for my kids, until social services took them. If you use a sack of Clementine oranges the bruises wont show as easily. Hmm.. I think my only suggestion would be to find a new way to say no, now that she gets the general idea behind it.
How about things like "It really upsets me when you do that". Can a 2 year old understand something like that? Or how about "Please, no". Maybe adding the please in there would help.
Yikes, not entirely sure. @_@ Good luck!

The only thing that worked for me was telling my sons that only Mommys and Daddys can say no. That no isnt a word that children tell their parents. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it didnt. I just told them do not tell Mommy no. Hope this helps. Slap their hand, not too hard but hard enough for them to cry a bit, everytime they say no to you. Or you can take certain toys away or something like that. My sister always spanked them a little and told them not to say no. But when her youngest got to that age, her eldest started doing it again. I don't really thing there's anything you can really do. A child will be a child.
terrible two's that's what they call it,but try to talk to her and explain what it is you don't want her to do or say or have instead of telling her no,she will understand better and you are also opening her mind to educate her.
maybe each time she says it put her in time out, or barely spank her. A child has to grow up with respect, or they mutilate there parents as they get older. Do something about it now.Tell her "Mommy doesn't take no for an answer." You can give her a time out for 2 minutes. You can also distract her by singing or reading. Another good technique is to give her a choice you are willing to live with. For example, you may wear your yellow socks or your white socks. Another example is: if you get in your car seat, I will play your favorite CD. Two year olds are testing limits and want some control. Instead of saying "no", you can also say "We don't do ____ at our house. We do ______ at our house." Praise her for good behavior.

Former toddler teacher, parent of 22 month old My 2 year old started telling me no recently. At first I would just ignore him, but it just got worse. What ever you do, you have to let them know that your in controll. If you don't they will start thinking that they are in controll, and it will just get worse. I had to start spatting my son, and putting him in time out. He is almost three now and after 2 or 3 weeks of punishment he realized that he is not suppose to tell any grown-up no. I hope this helps!

Myself!!!! Good Luck!
continue ta say dat den when dat doesnt work whoop her-wit a belt in case ya didnt know,but ya hand works 2- trust me i kno
maybe you should say something besides no. then maybe your toddler would follow what you do and would learn wouldn't be so embaressing!!!!!!You can't!!!!!!! it was always like that and it will always be like that. This is just what toddlers do! Instead of saying no try something like this "Do you think what you just did makes mommy happy? Hmmm... what do you think?" Plus, when she does something good, don't forget to tell her 'good job, I'm proud of you' then give her big hug and kiss her cheek... Of course, sometimes I said no when I'm in a hurry or something but I tried what I just said and I think it works.

Personal experience from 4 years old girl's mom
Rather than tell them no explain each thing out to them in a simple manner. For instance don't say no to eating dog food or something. Say Honey please don't eat that its yukky. OR Mommy has asked you not to run because you can fall and get boo boos. Plus when they do fall because they were doing it they can see the connection between what you said and the consequence of their actions. You may not think they understand but my son picked up on every meaning quickly. Although at two you just basically whether the storm.
I understand what you're feel. But with a child 2 years old it is difficult to tell her "do" or "do not" something. when my son was 2 years old sometime he let out a string of oaths!!!my experience is take him out of situation by show him another place (or games) and tell him the word you want
