I have found that any negative behaviors at this age are coming from somewhere. Your grandson may have some underlying issues that no one is aware of. If his speech and language skills are delayed, he is acting out because he has no other way to express himself. If he has any sensory issues, this can cause behavior problems as well, because the world is an unsafe place for him. There may also be some changes going on in the home that he is seeking attention for. My advice would be to have him evaluated my an Occupational or Speech Therapist who specializes in Sensory Integration. They would be able to rule out any underlying issues and hopefully give you some insight. Best of luck.

Is he perhaps seeing this somewhere? Is there someone in his house with an anger problem? Not saying it has to be that severe, but even someone who likes to slam doors could be showing your grandson what to do when angry. Another thing I would look into is how he is disciplined. He could be over or under disciplined.
Sorry guys, hitting a child who hits is a bad idea. You are just reinforcing that behavior. You have to teach by example.
I would suggest getting his parents one of the Supernanny books. They are pretty good. There is a book out there called "How to behave so your toddler (or preschooler) does too." It is also very informative and can be bought relatively cheaply.

That's a shame that he has such an anger problem. It may be he is calling out for attention. We as adults must let them we are in control, so when he misbehaves give him a time out, designate a spot where he has to stay for 5-10 minutes, he will rebel of course. But again your the one in control and not him.
Good Luck.

I don't know if you have ever watched Nanny 911 but her tactics work. The anger problem is a faze if you learn how to control it. Her best tactic was the naughty corner, and it may take some time and a lot, alot of patience but in the long run it pays off.

Why is he so angry? Is he living in an angry environment or is he being sent to a daycare where people are mistraeting him?...It's normal for 2 year olds to throw tantrums, etc...but if he is consistenly angry, then something is going on...Set limits with him--firmly..tell him no--and look into why he is so agitated/irritated/on edge...When he yells etc..maybe ignore him--or put him in a room by himself for a few moments...I wouldn't recommend getting super angry with him because you will be teaching him that anger is a good way of handling things--React appropriately, with displeasure--let him know it is NOT okay--give him a time out--etc..tell him you're unhappy with his behavior--and then try to find out what is going on...

It is not normal for a 2 year old to be so angry. Try to find out why he is acting out so violently and if you find proof of abuse.. do something about it, even if it against your own family. Be firm with your grandson but do not show anything but love.

Yes, in my opinion he suffers from Lack a slap. He needs to be corrected. If he is allowed to continue you can expect that there will be problems as he gets older. He HAS TO BE stopped/corrected and corrected now. He does something like this again, punish him. Take away one or all of his toys and put him in bed. At 2 he is old enough to understand NO. BUT he also won't stop if he is not corrected or punished. Good luck.

Talk to his parents a shrink maybe in order. My stepson would do the same things and he had A.D.D. he would do anything for constant attention negative or positive attention he got what he wanted! Too bad they have changed the laws a good old wooden paddle or belt across the behind would really get his attention.

If he's hitting people at that age, I'm not sure corner time would work. Use a play pen instead, I think they're still small enough at that age to not get out of them.

If he's in school, get him a Section 504 plan...Section 504 ofthe Rehabilitation Act of 1973 is a Federal law that deals with students who have behavioral issues.
