Time outs, and taking away their toys till they listen worked for my husband and myself. You are the adult don't let them get away with it now so you loose control over them later. If you have trouble controlling them now how do you think it will be when the are teenagers????

My second child was really hardheaded too! The only thing that helped us, as far as getting him to LISTEN to us....squat down to his level. Look him right in the eye when you tell him to do something. Toddlers are busy creatures. If you're just telling him to do something, and he's simply ignoring you, it's possible he was just too busy to pay attention. If you're down, right in front of him, looking him in the eye while you speak. You'll know for a FACT that he heard every word you said, and that he listened to you. If he doesn't mind after that, I would put him in a designated timeout spot, or maybe stand him in the corner. For a toddler, being forced to be still and quiet is the WORST!
Good Luck, hope this helps.

All he needs is LOVE, LOVE and LOVE, pay much attention to him, reward him whenever he does something good, keep him stomach full main reason for mad behaviour may be hunger. Give him stars for good deeds. Kiss him, tickle him and win his concentration first. When he admire you he will hear you and do what you say.
