my mini emotional con-artist strikes again lol...

I know many little boys of 2 years old don't like the word 'no'. They moan around when it is said to them. Therefore I use positive language when my little boy used to throw things I said "Hands in your lap". Then he did this and calmed down due to my gentle tone of voice. I suggest you have a buggy out with you and if your son throws himself on the ground you pick him up and fasten him in the buggy. You could say "Now sit down". You should say it in a gentle tone of voice. If you son begins hitting his own face or neck you should say "Hands away, please be gentle". You could gently move his hands away to assist him. You need to get into the habit of giving your son praise for the good things that he does. Then hopefully he will end up wanting to make you his mommy smile. You need to put safety catches in your kitchen. When your son is a little older you can have a mat where he will take time out when necessary. He should have the number of minutes for his age. You need to get your son to behave well now or he will be very challenging for you when he is older. The age group two years to three and a half years can be difficult. It is called the terrible twos. I am a primary school teacher. My baby daughter is 21 months old, my disabled son is almost 4 years old and my teenage son is almost 16 years old. Good luck.

Everybody wants to rule the world. Kids are smart. This one is doing a pretty good job. If you give in to his demands, you are teaching him this is the way for him to get what he wants. Wishy washy never gets it. Tell him no cartoons when he acts like this. Missing a few cartoons or maybe a favorite desert will teach him the consequences aren't worth the actions. Kids are very smart. They teach us many things. We must out think our kids or it's going to be a long road ahead.
