My Boy, whenever he has a reason to cry, like when we try to discipline him, or when he doesn't get his own way cries really hard and vomits out all that he has eaten. And this practice is really frustrating us, is there any way to stop him from doing this?
I would appreciate a serious answer from parents.

first check with your dr and make sure there is nothing medically wrong with him, such as reflux. also when you see a tantrum coming on, try different ways of dealing with it. if it's why you're trying to explain something he doesn't want to hear, wait for him to calm down and then try again. a 2 year old has so many emotions they have no idea how to deal with. and it seems your boy has a really hard time with stress. when he's calm and ready to learn discuss other ways to deal with being angry and upset. give him options to make it known he is upset, but i don't recommend more than 2 options at a time, or it's too much for them. he's old enough to start making some decisions, and if he's the one that's helped come up with them, maybe he won't get so upset next time. good luck.

FIrst you need to make sure that he doesn't have somekind of physical problem. After visiting the Doctor and getting a clean bill of health, then obviously he has learned that he can get his own way from this type of behavior. In other words, he can make you react and dance to his tune when he does this. When ever my boys tryed to take control of a situation where they were being disciplined or told that they couldn't have thier way through some type of behavior pattern (temper tantrums ect.) I would just walk away. I know that sounds simplistic and the idea of just walking away from a puke covered child is revolting but if he had to just sit on the floor of the room and live with the smell and mess for a while maybe he would be uncomfortable enough and not getting the attention he wants from you as well would teach him that it isn't the way to act. And I say NEVER and I repeat NEVER give in to him when he does it. If he does it in public away from home, then maybe you might be forced to not take him out into public for awhile until you have a handle on the problem. It would also be a good idea to take the problem to someone who is trained to deal with childhood problems who could give you other ideas on how to deal with it. I know that this type of thing is frustrating. I dealt with similar problems with my children. Please take care of yourself as well and talk with other parents or some kind of support group. YOu don't want the frustration to turn into anger which could make you lash out at your child. We all are only human and need to know that these problems can be dealt with. In a few years you won't even remember that he had this problem. Good Luck.

I realize how really frustrating this is for you but you've got to stay firm with the discipline. When he finally realizes he's not the boss anymore - then he will stop the vomitting. After he calms down and says he's hungry then give him something to eat. Stick with the discipline and being the parent! Do NOT give into him!

He's either crying too hard, or maybe he has food allergies. I have allergies and it makes me queasy,if I laugh or cry if Ive eaten something I shouldn't I'll throw-up, I can't brush my teeth after I eat because my stomach is so sensitive from past bad foods. (im 25 i found out I had allergies 2 yrs.ago). Does he get fevers often? If no then he's crying too hard. Walk away when he starts to cry eventually he realize what hes doing won't work. Remember It will be something else next! Never hit! Don't yell! Just walk away. P.s. Don't look at him either their smarter than you think. Pps brush his teeth after or they'll rot.

If you are sure he is in control of the situation, simple take the power away. Act as if it is no big deal and clean up the mess off everything. Cleaning him, his mouth and his clothing last. Resist the urge to gag yourself, don't fuss or make a big deal of the situation.
Once, he is clean simple continue as nothing happenned. Do not give him his way.
If you are not positive he is actively making himself vomit, you need to see a Doctor, stress can cause him to do so.

My first question would be; how are you "punishing him"
that he gets this upset? Whatever you're doing, I would suggest you stop immediately and try something else as this is obviously not working. Next, I would suggest you take him to his pediatrician and have hime checked to see if there is anything physically wrong that could be causing this. I wouldn't put this off but would call the doctor for an appt tomorrow!

Could be due to stress. Maybe he stresses himself out when he gets upset.
You really should discuss this with his pediatrician.

I think you should bring him to the Doctor for this. It is not healthy at all for him.
