The Wild Child

well based on my child and adolescent subject, kids at that stage are really hyperactive and they tend to destroy things not intentionally but its because of their curiosity toward things they see... but some of this cases also lead to ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) wherein kids are too active and they can't behave even for a short period of time... but these disorder is only determined at the age of 2-3 yrs. so maybe your child is just too curious about his environment.

Iwould not discipline so much bur divert him from what wrong he is doing. And I would talk about this behaviour with his pediatrician on his next control as he/she might have good ideas.

My twins are sometimes naughty but more oftentimes they are nice and well behaved. I am worried about the behavior of your son. I can't imagine if I could manage a child like yours. Have you consulted a doctor regarding his behavior? I know a lot of hyperactive kids whose behavior are corrected after they were given proper medical attention.

I think the most important thing that you have to remember is that at the age of two, a child cannot really tell the difference between what is right and what is wrong. Because of this, punishing him probably wouldn't be the best thing to do in this situation because it would just upset him and he wouldn't be able to understand why you were punishing him. It is just something that you have to be patient with, and wait until he grows out of the behaviour. It shouldn't take too much longer. If you ignore him when he is being naughty, then he won't think that it is a good way of getting attention from you.

Hi as i've read this discussion The wild child, i recalled/remember how my parents brought me up or reminiscing how they treat me. All i can say is it really depends on the parents on how they treat their child while they're still young as it reflects as they grow up. I remember how some of my cousins used to be spanked so much or scolded so much and it made them numb so everytime their parents says something about their mistakes its just like nothing for them so i remember when i commit mistakes my mom would ask me what i did wrong then tell me its not good that next time i'll do it she will punish me so that made me not do the same mistakes. And talk to him as much as you can, be his friend coz that's what my mom used to treat me, i never have any secrets. It makes him more open to you. :) hope you guys understand what i'm trying to say since english is my secondary language :)

I think, at that age, he cannot really discern yet , what is right and what is wrong. However, kids have the tendency to be cajoled into doing things. We just have to say them nicely though. Hence, you can always cajole him into doing the right things and praise him for it every time. This will motivate him to do always good, such as not shouting .
