Terrible Two!

Are u serous?My 15 months old son is already terrible!I can't believe is going to be worse!I think they have to spend all their energy playing outside,play, make him laugh for few hours..put kids movies on tv.he will have to be tired sometime!

I know it sounds terrible, but videos were the lifesavers for my two daughters. They just kept sticking movies and cartoons into the dvd and vhs player all day long. The kids never sat for long, because they didn't have a very long attention span, but the songs and cartoons made then stop for a minurte or two so mommy could gather her brains back off the floor. lol

i also have a 2 yr old boy and he can really be a handfull. i have 2 older girls and i cant remember them being as rambunches as he is. i think it may be worse in boys or maybe it just depends on the child. Good luck.

My daughter was actually pretty well behaved when she was 2 years old. I think some kids are just more hyper or mischivous than others. Try keeping them busy during the day. Take them outside and let them run around as much as possible. If you can take them to a park, that is a great way for them to get exercise and interact with other children. If it is too cold outside or raining, let them color, give them activities to do inside. Let them watch their favorite cartoons or movies (although the attention span of a 2 year old can be pretty short). When they misbehave, put them in time out. Let them know that behavior is not tolerated.

I was watching a show on tv a while back as I too have a 2 yr.old and they said the reasons kids act out when they are 2 is that they are having a hard time communicating atthat age and it is very frustrating for them. I can see that . My 2 year old does it as well. She will show me she is upset when I don't understand what she is saying. They are trying to absorb so much and talk so I imagine it is hard for them. Just be patient is does wear off and get better. TV isn't the answer!!! I am sorry to say. Maybe try reading or coloring. Start teaching them their ABC's or count with them and REWARD for good behavior...hope this helps you to understand ...

My daughter is two years old and sometimes she has the WORST temper tantrums. I can usually calm her down though, what I do is sing a song. This song is great even her daycare uses it. Next time your son is freaking out, try this song out and see if it works. This is how it goes: 'We're going to shake, shake our sillyness out (while shaking your hangs/arms. We're going to shake shake our sillyness out. We're going to clap clap (while clapping) our sillyness out. We're going to clap clap our sillyness out. We're going to stomp stomp (while stomping) our sillyness out. We're goin to stomp stomp our silyness out. We're going to SHOUT SHOUT (while shouting) our sillyness out. We're going to SHOUT SHOUT our sillyness out " By the time you're done the song, your child will forget what they were upset about, and even join in on the fun with you. It works everytime like a charm.
