Help! "terrible two" stage son

Nice to hear that you're taking your parental role seriously. Some mothers are just not very patient with their kids, no matter how much they love them. Especially when the kid is in the toddler stage. Anyway if things get worse than this, you might want to take him to a professional just to make sure that his hyperactivity is still within the normal level, just to make sure he doesn't have an underlying psychological disorder. But it's up to your discretion, you're the mom, and mom knows best.

Oh my gosh! I feel for you. I also have a son who is nearing this stage. I try to prepare myself for it but I guess there's no way to prepare for these kinds of things. I just would like to say more power to women who are going through the same things that you are going through because it is not an easy task!

I can sympathize with you. This is some due to the differences in boys verse girls. Never expect siblings to be like the other. Also as they grow up please never compare their progress to their siblings, example 'your sister is such a good reader, why aren't you reading too?' or 'your brother is so good in math why are you so stupid?'...each will learn at different abilities, but this is just for future references. I think if your child keeps this up, that I would take him to the DR for a check up. This doesn't sound normal to me, and I had 5 kids (hint for the above advice!...I seen parents do that as I was raising my kids and I tried to never compare) now I have 10 grandchildren and 1 is a handful, but I don't think she is as bad as what you are describing....your child could be having a reaction to something that they are eating, medication that they are on? or maybe there is something wrong such as problems with their teeth. I don't think that medication for hyperness is necessary, I have had 4 of my grandchildren on this, maybe you will need to start some forms of punishments, if your going to destroy then you can't play, If he throws take away from him. But I think that with the crying when he eats and wakes up there is a medical reason. Please keep me posted on your results...

oh that doesn't sound that good. I think your son is trying to push the boundaries and see how far he can go. It's part of learning i guess and an important stage in his development. The best way from what i've read is to ignore bad behaviour and reward good behaviour. He wants attention and give it to him when hes good not when hes bad. I'm about to be a dad for the first time and have done a parenting course and that's what they suggest also.

It's okay. It shows you're kid is normal. It's within the normal limits, so don't worry about that. I say this based on my observation. I am still a single, still have no child, but I have observed this with my relatives, my family, my sisters and uncles who are already parents. My uncle said, "He's just a kid. Don't worry or don't spank your kid when he pissed on his pants... That's part of being a kid. That's part of growing up. When he grow up and become an adult boy, he will never do that again (pissing on pants), and we will certainly miss that (his pissing on pants)."

please help yourself with something relaxing. Take care of children're so horrible sometimes. But I can do it because I love them so much.
