MY daughters two year old

my daughter's soon to be 20 months so she aint far off from age of 2 and she is very very demanding, ive never seen a baby like her in the past lol, but she doesn't get what she wants when she demands i make her wait because if i did give her everything she wanted, she will grow up like that and i will have a very hard time in saying NO, lol!

I know you have had several people tell you that there is some sort of problem here. Let me say this, most boys until they reach 7 have this problem. They have this reserve of energy that they can't get rid of. I have three children. My oldest son, 12, was the same way and now my youngest son, 4, reacts the same. My daughter, 7, never acted this way until now. They have to have it now! First off, the toy throwing will stop- you have to be consistant with the discipline. I am not saying spanking or the like. What we had to do with our children was to allow them their feelings with perimeters. When they throw their toys, the toys they throw get taken away from them. If they have no toys to throw- what happens? They learn to respect them more. Also, we have taught them that when they get angry they express it correctly. It is hard to get a two year old to respond correctly- but it can be done. You can't show anger or disgust- be nice and say- "now (name) if you throw that you will have to pick up the mess and you will loose (this item) for awhile until you can learn to behave. It has really worked. My wife and I learned techniques form a program called "Love and Logic". Most people that we know have tried this with very good success rates. Instead of telling the child "NO" you give them the choice- "you have the choice to do this or that- but remember, you have to live with the consequences!" Example, "yes son, you can choose to throw that toy, but if you uwant to keep it and don't want to clean up the mess, you will put it up and tell me how you feel. Maybe for older children, but hopefully you grasp the concept. Basically, you have to get down to their level and out think them. At two, we told our son- Please don't do that- it is not nice and you don't want to have your toys taken do you? He responded well most of the time- but he still can be a handfull. The thing to remember is not to loose your temper and show them you are upset- they will react to that and know they can push your buttons.

He sounds like a very spoiled kid ,my kids were great ,she should quit spoiling him.

I know exactly what you mean! My niece is 2 years old & the same way. She is so spoiled. If you tell her NO she just falls down on the floor face first. She has blooded her nose doin it alot but still does it. We have gronded her from her TV, from the puppies from going to the store & tried spankin her. Nothing works. & takein her to the store is a nightmare! She screems & runs off & hides. She walked up to someone the other day in the store & smacked her butt & said "beep beep, outta my way." I just stood there embarassed as crap! The guy smiled & said "well your a cutie" When she starts running off & we put her in the cart she starts screaming "help me, help me!" Everyone just stares. One of us end up taking her out and sitting in the car. I havent found a solution yet. If you find one though please share!

The naughty chair is the "worst" thing she's done? What about a good ole fashioned spanking? As for the attention thing, let the kid cry it out, and she shouldn't let herself be drawn in again and give in to the crying, or the kid will know that tantrum = mommy gives attention. When he wants something, don't give it to him until you're good and ready to do so.

Yes I am going through the same thing with my 2 year old. And have been going through it for the last 8 years with our 10 year old...lol

I have a one and a hlf year old son, and i am facing a similar problem, but i dont give in to his tantrums, i just ignore him he cries real bad feel sorry but then sometimes i pick him up but i dont give his demands

My 2 year old boy is exactly the same. He's very demanding and when we dont do what he wants he screems and through away his toys and look for the dog to slap him. I think is their way to call full attention. I also dont know what to do.

The best way is to stop paying attention, when he acts demanding. When he rolls on the floor, let him do it...cry, rolled..just don't pay attention. He will stop if no one care. He will learn how to say please and be nice.

He is 2. LOL, this is what 2 years old do. Expecially boys. I have 2 of them i know. Just keep up with the ruiteen you are doing. Mine do the corner since 6 months. they had no idea of course but by 2 they knew what the corner was for. Not that it always works but if kept up in time it should.

This is a normal step in child devekopment and the reason the call the age "the terrible twos". This child is now aware that he is a separate person, developing a sense of his own desires. The problem is he cannot express himself well and has not learned some necessary concepts, like waiting or presenting alternatives. If your daughter can continue her discipline consistently then she will weather this problem as he grows out of it into the next stage. Some books on chilc development might be helpful!

Patience is a virtue as they say, your grandson should see this and learn it from her mother, other wise he wont learn. Try talking to him... and ask help from the pre-school, terrible two are really hard to handle but you have to go through with it... so tell her to be a model for her child...

Hi my son is 2 as well he has his moments but is generally a good boy. Children of this age dont seem to understand the world doesnt revolve around them. I just talk to him clearly and dont shout and usually he will listen, somethimes i have to give him a time out, he will learn in the end just have pationce.

Hi,It is not an easy task to bring up children.The children of 2 years age have generally undeveloped mind so they need guidance from parents to develop into a able person so it is in ur hands to make ur child the best.

My kids are the same way! They all have a mind of their own and dont want to be told what to do. Ive tried everything, spanking, time outs, taking toys away, talking to them at eye level..and nothing seems to work. They only act up when they are at home, too!

two year-olds are like that. that's why they're called "terrible two". your grandson sounds very much like my niece when she was two. so i don't think this is anything to worry about. be firm with him, though. when you mean "no" it has to be "no". isn't it a bit too early for him to be in school, though?

Watch that show "Supernanny" for tips. I think all parents-to-be should watch that show, and others similar to it. Many parents are also afraid to spank their kids. Kids need a good spanking every now and then.

Ohh dear .. those 'naughty twos' ... for most children it just one of the phases they go through .. both mine went through the naughty two stage .. near drove me demented .. but then they move on to being three ...and the 'naughty' stage seems to pass by ...

My son can get that way as well, especially before we had his little brother a couple of months ago. I'm sure it's just a stage, and something he will eventually grow out of. Also, there is nothing wrong with making him play by himself for awhile as well. HE can play quietly, but it will take some time for him to get used to it. I know with our little guy, we started making him play by himself alot more when we found out we were preggers with his brother, so it wouldn't be such a transition, just doing five-ten minutes at a time and workign your way up to more really helps. He plays by himself alot now. Good luck!

two is really a very young age to teach them or make them undrestand even i hv a friend with a 18 months boy he listens to things which she says but at times he is stubborn cries a lot but eventually it will reduce it is a child's tendency u hv to b very patient till they reach certain age u must start telling things which will help him in future so that he will become is so habituated to listen such things that it might seem very right to him , the only thing u do is b there for him b available but i guess u r a working mom so u must try to fetch some extra hours for ur little one leave ur personal life for a while witha mutual understanding with ur spouse or partner what so ever it needs a combine effort from the family as he is the only child in the family raising a child may sound easy but it is a very sensitive work
