    I agree with giving kids choices, but age-appropriate and situation-appropriate. IMHO it's not appropriate to ask a two year old when they would like to be picked up because a two year old really doesn't get to decide that. Asking a two year old if they want the red cup or the blue cup is a more age appropriate choice.

    I also agree with playfelt that part of it is that she's letting him change his mind and flop back and forth and then eventually when she has to put her foot down and choose for him because he won't make up his mind he gets upset because he didn't get to choose.
