Knock off giving him a little piece. You are REWARDING him for his nagging you.
Have one time a day where he can have his chocolate treat. Dessert after dinner would be a good time.
OR, have chocolate be a special treat---unexpected and rare and given when your boy is behaving.
Do not give in-you are buying yourself a world of trouble by doing so.

giving him chocolate once in a while is fine...if he is hitting you and screaming for chocolate . let him know that there is no chocolate and he is going to have to wait or let him now he can have some later ..some kids dont like veggies but it would be good if you son did they are very healthy for him
Dont buy chocolate because if he asks u then ur going to give up and give him some and if you have no chocolate hopefully u say no and dont end up going to the store and buying him some
maybe chocolate can be a treat for him
after he behaves or picks up his toys something like that
he can get a little piece of chocolate

the fruit is a good idea, because it has alot of sugar, but its natural sugar, so its not really bad for you. I would give him his favorite fruit, and only give him chocolate every once in a while. Now if your child is overweight, you should say no more to sweets like candy, but still dont deprive him and give him some every once in a whiile. trust me, if he's chubby now, and is skinny when he's older, he will thank you for your help. So, just try to make healthier decisions that he likes, but still dont totally deprive him of sweets. Also, too much candy can be very bad for his teeth, obviously, so thats another reason to cut back his candy.

OMG! What I can't believe is that you allow this CHILD to dictate to you how it is going to be by hitting and screaming. Do not allow your child to be the boss, YOU are the boss. Don't give him chocolate or anything else for that matter when he acts like that towards you. If you don't change the behavior now, you are gonna have HUGE issues when he gets older. Chocolate is okay for a TREAT only and not everyday.

Just make sure you brush his teeth after he eats the candy. You need to put your foot down if you don't want him eating so much candy. So he cries or throws a tantrum? Ignore it, it's a phase and he knows he can get you to give into him. Just limit the candy to a couple of times per week. Put it on a calender so he can look forward to his treats or give him a little if he does something good or helps you with something. Hopes this works a little.

Everything in moderation.
A little piece of chocolate here and there won't be too bad for him, infact a a little bit of dark chocolate is said to be good for the heart.
As long as your son eats other things that are good for him, then he can have a little piece.

sounds like you are just feeding into it and he will just keep hitting because it gets him what he wants, try saying NO and sticking to it. why would a 2 year old need chocolate anyway? the only reason he even knows what it is is because you have given it to him in the first place.
quit having chocolate in the house, if he hits and screams put him in his room.

Are you kidding me! You are letting a toddler push you around
even though It hurts push him back, hold his arms firmly , look deeply into his eyes and say, you are going to the time-out corner and then say why. Then if he gets out put him back in
until he stays for 5 mins.
If that dosent work it's time for Nanny 911

well you wouldn't want to give him to many sweets, but once in a while give him a piece of chocolate. and if that don't work you need to discipline him.

If there is no chocolate in the house then you can't give him any.
