My son has been in his terrible two's for about 10 months, he's almost 3 now. I want to hear from those that had a child who were really really bad during there terrible two's and when was it over and how the kids are now. I feel like he is one of the worst cases (he has been expelled from two daycares) and that he will never change.

They go from Terrible Two's to Treacherous Three's but being expelled from daycare sounds like there is a bigger problem. I suggest a child psychologist.

It stops when they Turn 18 and they are out on their own ( or so we hope lol) most the time they come back and bring their own children with them. My son is 8 and I think he is still in his terrible twos. He failed Kinder garden his first year and has been suspended from school 3 times already since he first started. We thought our prayers would be answered when we opted to put him in a private school, but man were we wrong. Public school has been so much better for him. The only thing we have found is to find the right location for him to be in. He has to feel comfortable with his surroundings, my son is ADHD, let the teacher know what to expect before he starts his new class or school. Each year my son starts a new grade we make a trip to the school on open house day to meet his new teacher and tell her about incidents he had the year before so she will not be caught of guard. Teachers react better when you are truthful with them and give them the heads up. Children also seem to act a lot better when we are more involved with their school and teachers. When the child feels like you are on first name basis with their care giver then tend to behave better . Hope this helps!

Didn't, in her twentys now. She's really a good person but her personality is what it is and there are days...
Time outs and talk until you are blue, they won't listen but you know you did your best and they do become responsible citizens. Taking too heavy a hand can work backwards with these personalities but letting them slide is equally as bad. You have to know which is working. There are some rules you do not waver at all, anytime-hurting others, taking things that don't belong to them, disrespecting others things, you know the list. And they have to know that when you say no, it means no, not maybe or eventually. And don't threaten a punishment you have no intentions of carrying out. You say no tv for a week it means no tv for a week. One well placed smack on the behind gets the message across, more than that creates resentment. Mine got spanked once, once, that's not a typo, for trying to wrestle away from me while crossing the street. I meant business, she knew it and it never happened again.
Take heart-and valium if it helps.

sorry to say but three is worse. my almost two year old throws fits and i ignore him until they get really bad and i don't allow him to continue. just remember to stand your ground and you will be fine. my three yearold has a hard time with the word no and does get cranky but he is old enough for time out and that works wonders. Also i watch my neice for my sister while she works. i have been doing this since she was 18 months old she is now 6 years old. she had a bad case of terrible two. really bad. but now she is a little doll. there is light at the end of all this . just stand strong and hold your ground don't give up or in and he will turn out just fine. GOod luck and God bless.

Terrible two's start at 1 year, and go on for awhile. Before you know it he will be 5 and speaking his own mind, then pre-teen and going through hormone changes. The terrible two's tend to just flow into another age group and just change with what is important to them. Stand your ground now and let him know that is actions are unacceptable. Start now, the older he gets the less he will listen.

My kids were great during the twos and horrors when they were three. I'm waiting for one to turn four now. She does things now and she knows what she is doing. Good luck.He will change.It's just frustrating right now. Just be very consistent with him.

my son was very hyper when he was that age. i spoke to a lot of people about it. my paediatricians told me that he was very intelligent and his limbs had not grown fast enough with his thoughts. he asked:"can't you wait for him to grow up?"
i was thrilled at the answer. i gave him space to grow into himself. he is 24 now, still precocious, active, on the go and ever on the move. i am proud of him.
don't see this age as a problem, instead see it as a blessing. enjoy your son and you will reap the rewards for the rest of your life.
