pls help

Hi, perhaps try distraction...that worked best for my 6, until they were old enough to be bribed lol....if he wants the knife, distract him by giving him a plastic container full of icing nozzles or plastic pastry cutters and rolling pins..its something from the kitchen..but its safe! If its something that he wants, try getting him to do something else before he gets it...make him work for it..for example, ok you can have it if you help mummy tidy up these toys, or something similar..he might get distracted by his toys again and forget about the thing he wanted in the first place...or completely take him out of the place/room that the desired object is in, again its distraction..but if he wants the tv on, get his shoes on and take him for a walk around the block and pick flowers or bits of grass and fill a bucket with little finds...when he gets home you could get him gluing them (on a plastic sheet) on paper or card to make a picture that he's made...put this on the wall, then next time he throws a mardy you could say "lets go make a flower picture" and eventually he will enjoy those better more "wholesome" moments where he is rewarded by spending quality time with you, than the bad attention he got from always being told no...Oh by any chance do you have a younger child in the house as well? My 5 yr old threw terrible tantrums when I had my little boy and I struggled terribly with her...I ended up putting her in a nursery for 3 mornings a week to give me time with the little one, and it gave her something to look forward to that she did, not her little brother, and it gave her something that she could talk about over teatime with me!Good luck

Hi there, i myself have found that putting your toddler on the "naughty stool" will very fast take care of the situation. I learned the trick from a book i have called "the super nanny" it is kind of like having them in time out. As we all know the 'terrible twos' can be a challenging faze for the mother. But by coming down to the child's level telling them in a firm voice that the behavior is not acceptable and then putting them on the stool, until they calmed down they quickly get the idea. i do this with my own 18 month old and it is amazing how fast he stops :) good luck!

Hi Nirja, don't take tension, it is normal for the kids to do that, they are amazed by the things around them and try to get them. Even my kid is same old as yours and I am also having same issue with him. Our job is to make them aware what is right and what is wrong, and at some point of time you must also be strict with kids, so that they don't get spoiled. Just give him some time of his own to understand what is right and what is wrong, you just guide him. But make sure you need to keep paitence while dealing with them. All the best and let me know if you have any queries or concerns, I will be glad to share.

The best thing that I can tell you is to have him checked with his pediatrician. I am pretty sure that his doctor will know how to do. Do also help him by practicing with his educational and visual toys. Cheers!
