Toddlers will react to adults in different ways. If your toddler is stubborn then you should try approaching him in a different manner. Don't shout or scream at him when you want him to do something because he won't. Be patient and try to make him feel that what you want of him is important and only he can do it. They respond well when made to feel good about doing what they are supposed to do. Give him some encouragement and a hug and kiss after doing the task. I feel that a 2 year old is still a baby so please be patient.

the terrible "2"'s ... it is difficult. But remember, YOU are the parent. Make sure your child learns to respect you. (this is assuming you have a normally developing child) Don't give in to everything they want. If they are getting into something they shouldn't, try to distract the child. Activities, activities, activities ! For stubborness, I can tell you now, there was no "naughty chair" ! Kids will "test" you to see how far they can push you. I call it the "Let's see how far I can lead an a** without a halter !" game. My youngest was really good at it. I've given a few spankings, and it worked. Now they're old enough to just take away X-Boxes, privileges, and such. My sons and I watch "The Nanny" together, and when they see little kids kicking and hitting, their mom and siblings, kicking the walls...they KNOW that's wrong, and that's something they don't do, and I didn't use a "naughty chair" to get respect .(I know there are other parents out there that would not be able to use the chair either !)

The best advice I can give you is: Say what you mean and mean what you say!!! The "terrible twos" as they are often referred to continue on into the terrible threes...after that it gets easier. If you are consistent in your discipline with him and ALWAYS "say what you mean and mean what you say" things will get better for you within the next year or so. IF you are NOT consistent, they will walk all over you and push the boundaries. Of course they are going to try to get by with as much as they can, they are children. But if they know you are serious when you say no (because you have ALWAYS followed through) they will not be as stubborn. Your life will be easier, as will theirs. Children love discipline. They love to know that you are an in control person and they can rely on you to take care of them. Good luck honey. You will be fine! Lol!
