IF he cries when you turn off the light, close the door and tell him he has to go to sleep, let him cry. As for the hitting, I'd bust his butt, but then I'm old school. He has to learn to adjust to life.
Yeah, I know, there's a bunch of you gonna screech about what I say. You live your way, I'll live miine.
BTW, horoscope is BS.

definately don't give into his behavior if you do he will continue to do it. I would turn the light and T.V off when it is bed time making sure that he has a night light because some kids are afraid of the dark and ignore his out burst. Leave the room where he can't hit you, and no matter how hard he cries don't go back in. As far as waking up for day care make sur he gets to bed early enough so that he will want to wake up when its time. If his bedtime outburst last an hour start him to bed an hour earlier than his actual bedtime that way he is getting enough rest. I don't think his birth sighn has anything to do with it.

Most of us have a ritual we go through before bed time. We are creatures of habit. With children you have to be consistent and organize your time. Sit down with him and say to him let go in the kitchen and have a (lite) snack. No sweets, they will make him hyper. Be calm. shut off TV. Tell him, after we have a snack we will go to your room and we will read a story. Put him in bed and sit close and read to him. Do this without fail and it will become a habit. He will get enough sleep so he will be ready for daycare. Then mom can have a quiet peaceful evening. When I call my daughter when she is reading to son, her husband tells me she will call when she has her son sleeping. She has done this through 3 children and it works. her and her husband take turns reading. The beauty of it is you are spending time with him and giving him attention. He will one day be a reader. Take him to the library and let him help pick out the books. Hope it works.

I'm a Leo August 1st. Leo's can be bossy. What's your sign that you let him get away with hitting you? No hitting back either that's not a good form of discipline. Dr. Phil would say find his currency(what he really values) and deal with him using that. He hits he doesn't get dessert or to play with his favorite toy - something like that. Talk to him about the consequences of hitting you when things are calm. Then when it happens again(and it will cuz they gotta test you) be sure to follow through with whatever you said the consequences would be.

Horoscope is BullS.. it is how u educate ur son. let him cry , let him shout, spank him if necessary when words cant take place anymore, disciplining children is not an easy job to teach as parents but we must teach tt to them ,.
ur son has to learn WHEN to do this and WHEN to do that and what if he does tt well and if he doesnt do tt well. as parent we must set a good example to him
just let him cry, eventually he will shut up when he tired. MAKE HIM do what he HAS to do. dont let him loose. if we dont teach him now since he is young, it will be hard to teach if he gets older.
chinese proverb says: shape and hit the iron bar while it is still hot. he is still young, u as parents can teach discipline, manner and etc

i agree mx. my kids got spankings. if you dont have control over your child at 2, how do you expect to control his actions when he is 10, or 12, or 15? set an alarm clock for his bedtime. when it goes off put him in his bed, turn off the tv and lights and let him cry himself to sleep. he has to know you arent going to put up with his games anymore. he has you figured out and knows exactly what he needs to do to get his way. its going to be hard to make him behave again, but it can be done if you stick to it.
