Crazy, violent 2-year-old! Help!!?

It sounds like he's upset about something. I don't mean that to be funny, it just sounds like maybe he might be a little jealous of the time you've been spending with your boyfriend. Is this a new relationship with him or is this someone that your son has been exposed to his whole life. If it's a new relationship he may be feeling resentful of the fact that he is having to share your love and attention with someone new. Did you move in with your boyfriend recently because that could be the cause too. I would sit down with your son and talk to him at his level. Ask him what's wrong, he's old enough he should be able to communicate with you what's upsetting him. If he has a hard time opening up to you, ask yes or no questions to figure out what's going on with him.

Good Luck

I agree with rcotter1, except, I dont think a 2 year old will be able to communicate why he is doing what he is doing, he is way to young for that, you will have to figure that out on your own. It does sound like jealousy. Is this a "new" situation, and is he getting attention from you. Children will do things to get attention wheather it is good or bad. to a 2 year old attention is attention...good, or bad. If this is a new living situation, he is jealous of your boyfriend for taking you away from him, he sees he is getting "attention" from hitting, kicking, biting him so he is now doing it to you to get more attention. A 2 year old needs alot of attention and deserves it...the good kind.

Two years old is old enough to know that he's being deliberately naughty for attention. You need to use consistent timeouts. If he hits/kicks, whatever, you get down on the floor at his eye level, take him by the shoulders so he has to focus on you, and in a firm voice, say "We don't hit in our family! It's not kind!" Make him apologise. If he does it again, then take him to his room, shut the door and leave him there for two minutes (one minute each year of his age). After two minutes go in and say "I put you in your room because you hit me/your boyfriend. We don't hit in our family, we are kind to each other."

You need to do this each and every single time his behaviour is inappropriate. If you let him away with it one time, he will think he's won. Don't spank him for his behaviour, that just reinforces that it's okay to hit. The most important thing to do though, is reward him for his good behaviour. Praise him when he sits quietly with his toys, or puts them in the toy box by himself. Give him heaps of attention when he's being good. Maybe the reason he's acting out is that it is the only way you give him heaps of attention?

My son has consistently enjoyed Daddy's X-field. He thinks it incredibly is a revolt whilst Daddy performs any of the GTA video games or call of accountability and he loves watching Daddy leap out of airplanes without parachute and going splat. it incredibly is an identical toddler who at around 6 months become interior the room jointly as we've been watching next with Nicholas Cage and everytime he have been given shot my son laughed. on the start we theory it become basically accident yet after some circumstances we found out he become definitely watching the action picture. for specific it have been given became off. And the X-field is now in our mattress room and Daddy can basically play it if Jr isn't around or i'm homestead to observe him. inspite of the incontrovertible fact that do i think of my son is a psychopath and could advance as much as be a killer? No, he went by way of a short section with weapons, we enable him struggle by way of it without reacting to it so he did no longer learn how to act that thank you to get interest. he's very almost 3 now and we've entered the Hotwheels section. and that's all he gun subject become, become a piece. as quickly as he wasn't uncovered to it perpetually and he did no longer get a variety of of a reaction different than we does no longer play weapons back with him, he gave it up. Oh, and get a babysitter for the nephew as a substitute of utilizing him for one. appears like he's the single that desires minding! (definitely, get a sitter to your son which will take him out to the park or for a walk or in any different case work together his interest removed from the nephew)

Darl, you have to put him in timeout... i have a 2 year old daughter and ive been doing that for 6 months and it works. i put her in her portacot... she cant get out and she just screams her head off. At the start you should be firm with him and warn him, give him 3 chances and on the third he goes to timout. At the start if he doesnt stop crying, bring him out after two minutes but if he stops before that, tell him he's a good boy and let him come out and say sorry. I use it so much. Im like Summer pack your toys up, she yells back at me NO and stomps her feet. I say it again, Summer pack ur toys away now or your going to time-out. Sometimes she ;istens, other times i pick her up and put her in timeout. she screams and kicks and tried head butting but i put a firm voice on and say NO YOUR IN TIME OUT. i know its hard but u have to be consistent with it. Ill be breastfeeding my other daughter and have to out her down just to put my two year old in time out for not listening. Show him who's boss, be firm with him. Dont be afraid to give him a smack opn the bumb if he's being really naughty and still put him in time out. You get wjhat im saying here? Good Luck

well, first of all you're not getting professional advice here, to get that you need to speak to a professional

and my first thought on your child's behaviour is where is his father? perhaps he is influencing his behaviour? maybe your sons life is not regulated enough. does he have a schedule and boundaries and punishments? if not then maybe its time to implement them.

spend more time with your son!!!
