At 2 he is beginning to feel his independence, the best way you can stay a part of his life at this stage is to help him learn new things to make that independence happen. Begin teaching him to put puzzles together, tie his shoes, button his shirts, use a case knife/butter knife to put peanut butter on his own bread, or slice a banana. Let him brush his own hair and teeth, wash his own hands and face. Before you know it he will come to you to be his teacher when he sees something he wants to learn. Things like this give him a little independence while at the same time keeping you a part of it. Have fun, they are only little once, and you should be the role model he wants to mimic.

What a wonderful mother you must be! I don't know about this mother/son connection (course I only had one child, late in life) but all this talk sure strains at my heart strings. I think I grew up with my son! I learned to be a "tomboy" all over again;baseball,hockey,fishing .. and now I have an encyclopedia of warm,cuddly memories. He is 28, course on his own, and I still relish the moment he calls asking how to make popovers, mango chutney, salsa, or whatever. He has a serious lady in his life, and I am learning how to stop mothering him (stifling) and revving up the friendship. The transition has been many long talks to myself. I am rambling, thanks for the memories! Cherish every moment.

Thank you so much for the compliment. I try to be a good Mother, but like all of us sometimes I fail miserbly. I have raised 5, now have 5 adopted, then I have 9 grands and 1 on the way....I should know something by now LOL, but this old dog learns some new tricks everyday.

Dear Mom...it would really help if we knew the age of your son. A lot of extraneous conditions can affect him, as well as us! I would love to hear from you, as I have a son that I am very close to!

Don't fret. He's at the wonderful age where his little wings are just beginning to sprout. Now is the time (from now on) where you will see miraculous changes, just cherish every moment. Have a special day.

I agree with the first poster knowing the age of the child could give us a better idea of what could be going on with your son.

Two is a hard age for the child as well as for the Mother. He is at the exploring age and wants to know and see everything. He is trying to go beyond his bounderies and doesn't understand if you say no to him. This is what is known as the "Terrible Two's". I don't like that term but that is what it has been labeled. To me it is not the terrible two's but the age of exploration or if you will spreading his wings and trying his independence.
