it's called a temper tantrum. he'll keep doing it as long as it works. ignore the tantrum and he'll eventually stop. once he realizes he's not going to get what he wants that way he'll find another way.

If I understand your question correctly, he is just trying to be independent. Give a couple options when it comes to clothes or what to have for lunch. Let him dress himself if he wants to.
If this is a temper trantrum, you must not give in. Take them to their room and lay them on their bed and tell them they must stay there until they calm down and that throwing a fit will not work. If he gets up and continues to throw a fit, put him right back on his bed and say the same thing. ( In reference to a previous answerer: After they are calm, still do not give in if they weren't sopposed to have something. That only makes the battle worse in the long run. He will think that all he has to do is throw a fit, calm down and then he'll get what he wanted.) You are in charge, not him. He wants you to be in charge! That is a major security for a child. My daughter will be three in October and I do this with her all the time. My husband actually started it so I have to give him credit...it works well. Good luck. You are the boss!

Tell him u wont "buy" this "weapon" fr him. N ignore him let him scream as much as he like u just walk aways (if u r at home walk aways n do somthing else, if u r outside jus walk aways but keep in a distance tat he can see u n u can see him) n this will normally work aft the 3-4 times!

This will require a lot of time and patience, best thing to do ignore it, walk away, out of the room, but don't give in, he wll soon get the message, it's the terrible twos and very common. Try to make a point of giving something when he's quiet and calm.

Ignore it, he will escalate his tantrums. Watch the show with the British Nanny, she seems to get control over kids in a hurry.

i know it is hard but try ignoring the child if you have to just step outside on the porch, so that it is not so loud, and if he stops, of course go back in to make sure that he isn't doing something he isn't supposed to be doing, but continue to ignore him, sooner or later he will calm down and probably forget what he even asked for in the beginning.

Don't give them what they want, when they scream. Let them scream all they want, and tell them at the same time: I Won't Listen To You IF You Scream!
After they've quietened down, give them what they wanted. In time, they'll learn that it's not the screams that gets them what they want.

u need to treat them as an adult. ask him what he wants n explain to him y he cant get everything he wants. if u promise to give him things, u have to keep ur promise. he'll grow up as an understanding boy...u must have patience though..this takes time..

stop responding to his screaming! This will only get worse if you keep responding to it.
