Answer 2

I am a Mother of an 8, 6 and 2 year old. It takes patience and lots of love. Sometimes it means mom needs a time out too. If you see yourself getting frusturated and upset take a break. Give yourself time to calm down, then you will be able to handle the situation better. If your child is throwing a tantrum, do not give in always make sure they know Mom is sticking to her guns!! If you start letting a child see that you are going to give in to their demands after a fit or whining they will continue to do it and get their way. If they are screaming and kicking in the floor let them know that is not the way they are supposed to act then ignore it. After awhile they will get tired and stop. Run errands if possible in the morning or after naptime, this will make the trip easier. It is never fun to take a tired, cranky child anywhere, it will just cause a tantrum to occur. Try a timeout chair, if they begin acting up let them know you will give them to the count of 5 to settle down or they will be in the timeout chair and need to remain their for 2 minutes for the 2 year old; add an extra minute every year older they are. After the age of 5, I would consider a different approach, take away privelages etc. Your child will know when you get to 5 they are going in the timeout chair eventually and get settled down. Good luck!! I wish you the best, being Mom doesn't always mean we never get tired, frustrated or upset, but we always seem to pull through. Just remember to take a little time for yourself too.

Answer 3

First - WHY would anyone threaten a child with the cops??? What is going to happen when he really needs one - that is just (in my opionion) plain stupid and cruel.

Second - you can't 'control' a 2 yr old - it is like catching a raging river with a spoon. Take heart though - lots of love, activities and patience and you will live through this.

PS -- the terrible twos DO NOT only last one year (they can last for years) - sorry and welcome to parenthood!!

Answer 4

Two year olds are learning about the world around her, she is exploring her limits and boundaries while testing your sanity. Now is the time to say yes more often than no, to teach her what is safe and what is not. Play with your child you can find things to do in the websites below. Bottom line is you control a two year old with hugs, knowledge and fun.

Answer 5

For some reason our two year old, at that time of his age, was deathly afraid of the cops. He still is so if and when he gets out of control we say we're calling the cops and reach for the phone, boy does that work! Try it!

Answer 6

Enjoy it while it last. You can give him things to do keep him busy and give him lots of love. I am a mother of a 12 year old that is adhd and i've never medicated him just give him lots of love and patience. Never lose your temper. If you respect them they will respect you. But at the age of 2 its perfectly normal to be pulling your hair out right now just dont let him see it. Hang in there it gets better and before you know it they are out the door.

Answer 7

i use to ask the same thing. All you have to do is finded out what the 2 yeared old like's and do some od the thing's he or she like's and mayeb take 10 min's or how ever many you want out of your day and try to do some art's and crafts with him or her. Take and go to the park. play lilttle kid games. try to put your self in his or her shoe's and think what kind of thing's would i want to do if i was 2 year's old. That is how i am doing it and he is also 2.

Answer 8

Lots of patience & hugs. Don't overload with a bunch of activities. Make easy transitions. Sorry but 2 is a very exciting age they are noticing every thing around them not just what is right in front of them. I have 3 kids that have all been there. Have fun with it, you'll miss it later!

Answer 9

Make Red, White and Blue Popsicles
Here's how to make Fourth of July Bomb Pops much like the kind you can get from the ice cream man. The best part — they don't cost nearly as much as he'd charge and you don't have to wait around all day for him.

Answer 10

Patience they don't call it the terrible 2s for nothing. Just remember the child will turn 3. The child is just changing from an infant to a toddler He is developing an voice, his independence and testing to see your limits.

Answer 11

have fun with him/her. Do things that he/she like to do. Show them that your a fun parent but when it comes to listening and doing what is told get a time out chair and send them to the time out chair when ever they are bad ( and stick to it!) don't ever send him/her to their bedroom if they are bad because then they will start to hate their room.
