Could it be the terrible twos?

It's a phase and as with all phases it will be outgrown, with time. My daughters didn't have these but every now and then they will see what they can get away with. Don't allow him to have the upper hand in things, that will be a disaster lol! It's not going to be easy but try to be gentle but firm. Like sometimes my 3 year old will ask for more sweets after she had one serving. She knows there is no seconds but yet she keeps asking and soon after she'll fall to the floor all dram queen like and cry her little eyes out. My response to that is this: over to her eye level and say this u can cry all u want, but ur still not getting a cookie or whatever it is she wants. So she cries for two minutes more and she stops and she comes and hug me and she says she sorry! Than she asks her dad if she could have a cookie lol!!! And he asks what did ur mommy say. And she would cry again and after a few more seconds of her whining I give her a distraction. She loves coloring so I would be like who wants to go to the store with me and shed perk up and say me! And I would say not with ur face all wet! She would quickly dry up and forget about what she was crying about. But u see, it was a piece of cake for me bcuz I have been caring for kids my whole life and I knew what to do and how to go about it. My husband is still learning and it's been 7 yrs and 2 kids later lol!!

I guess you have to be more patient. Talk to him like an adult. Don't yell at him. Don't spoil him so that he will not get worse. I hope he'll change his bad behavior soon. Happy mylotting.

Shy, i remembered when my son was only around 18 months old, he become fussy and likes to complain a lot especially during sleeping time. Almost every night, i would have to companion him playing his favorite toys until he feels sleepy. Once he is feeling sleepy, i will switched on some children's songs for him to listen. Once he get used to it, he tends to easily falls asleep. Nowadays, he don't have this fussy attitude anymore. Only he will demand me to switched on his favorite music for him to listen and fall asleep. I am not sure whether this method will helps you or not. Only after you try for a few times then you will know the feedback. By the way, firstly you must learn to know your child's sleeping attitude. If it is almost the same like mine, then maybe it will also works for you... Wish you success...

It is normal that toddlers had this tantrum. Being a parents, we need to continue to be patient enough to understand their children. The best way to do is ignore the tantrums. You can try to read normal child development milestone.

Oh, that's how two year old kids are. They suddenly think they are independent (hey, it's that age when they can really walk and run without anybody helping them) and would really really insist on what they want, and if you don't give in, they will have a major meltdown and they would not care when or where. They have no sense of dangerI have two girls, but they were really really sweet when they were two, but my boy was different when he was two. He would insist on playing and watching his favorite cartoon show. He would climb chairs and tables and get really bad bumps later. But take heart. All these terrible twos episodes will give way to the adorable threes. What you can do now, though, is show him who is the boss. Not by being angry. Not by spanking. Just explain in short sentences (because they don't listen anyway)why he needs to sleep. Sometimes, all they need is a hug :)
