Two Year Old Tantrum Meldown

My son turned 2 in September. I had twins in October and there has been a significant change in his behavior since the twins were born. We had to work through it. It requires more discipline and creative ways of discipline. At 2 they are really beginning to understand things and their own personalities are beginning to show. For our son we disciplined him by taking away things that he liked if he misbehaved, time out and of course every once in a while he just had to have a little pop on the bottom. (I am more of a creative discipline person time outs, taking away things, etc.. his daddy is the spare the rod, spoil the child one and gives the spankings.)Since you have tried the time outs try taking away some of the things that she likes to do or toys that she likes to play with. Good luck!

This parenting problem is not hard to fix. Begin by realizing that its not the child's fault! She has been getting her own way, and it has to stop. When she next begins to scream- begin to sing as loudly as you can, turn on the TV and make as much noise as you can, all the while ignoring the child. (Its not easy to keep screaming and kicking and she will soon tire of it) When she stops just act normally and show her that you are no longer upset with her antics. Never threaten or scold her, just treat her like a small adult. Time-outs are silly, and when you yell at her you are teaching her to yell back at you.
