my son seems to have serious behavioral problems. The other day i walked in to him in a corner smearing his own poop on the wall and eating it. he's 2 and a 1/2. Also he is obsessed with private areas, not only on himself but on other people. i know i shouldnt compare him to other children but i know a lot of people with kids his age and his temper tantrums are more oftem then most of them. why do you think he behaves like this? also, do you think it has to do with all thoes recalled toys they just had about the lead paint? he has a lead level of an 11 right before i sent thoes toys back..i dont know what to do? his tantrums are out of controle, i understand hes two but i cant explain to you in words how unbelieveable these tantrums are.

They don't call it the terrible two for nothing. My brother did the poop thing when he was the same age as your son is now. Kids are going to want to explore, as their minds are only getting bigger, and their ability to do so is becoming greater.
Since you are questioning this, it seems like you are really concerned, and since there was a problem with the lead, you should def. schedule an appointment with a pediatricion. Your son's tantrums might be a result of withdrawl from the lead, as it has an ability to be very addictive in young children.

I study psychology and we were discussing children the other day and this exact behavior happened to come up. While uncommon it is not unheard of and nothing to worry about. Your child is two and so does not know what they are doing, if you believe the theories this actually means he will become a very creative person if not stifled.
My suggestion is not to get angry, when he behaves like this tell him no you should not do this calmly eventually he will grow out of it. for the private parts babies love to touch themselves they are exploring their bodies and everything is new. If he touches someone else inappropriately calmly move his hand away and say no. As he gets older he will understand more and will grow out of all this. So in short he is fine, hug and love him to bits :-)

My son seems to be obsessed in "choochoo" trains, for the past week or so its all he wants when he gets up or when we're anywhere. The tantrums, since he is a boy I take it it is normal, specially at 2 and 3, my son is the same , he throws tantrums, and how!

I would ask the doctor but really it all sounds like normal 2 year olds. My son won't go to sleep w/o his hands down his pants. Kids smear poop. Its all about discovery and the fact that they are curious about other peoples privates is normal to. You just have to be consistant and explain that we don't touch others in their private areas and we don't touch ours in public. And the tantrums... Welcome to being two. My son screamed through the store naked because he wanted to wear the pajamas I was buying him so he stripped down right there. But if you're worried, always ask a doctor

i feel for you honey (i have 4 children, 12,9,4 and 18 months) and being a Mom is hard and we do our best - but sometimes we have no idea what to do!
it does sound very extreme and unusual his actions - sometimes it can be an allergy or something that needs help - some kids are even allergic to a particular food or clothing wash soap and when that's changed they become a completely different little creature. for your own sanity and because you love your little one, go and see your doctor / pedi and get some advice and help
wishing you all the best - god bless

Ill admit, he sounds a little more agressive than most 2 year olds. you might bring it up to his pediatrition. All kids are curious about their private areas. as far as outher people goes, that would worry me too. It sounds like something might be bothering him but hes too young to explain to you what it is so hes acting out. who cares for him while your not around? does he watch tv a lot? if so what? im sorry im just making suggestions. things that you may look for. mabey hes hyper? he really doesnt sound too much worse than a lot of 2 year olds. good luck and I hope you get it worked out.

Sounds like ADHD or some other form of disorder, you really need to get him assesed by a doctor....
Your instincts tell you when something is not right and thats obviously what your thinking, I am a mother too and its hard at the best of times.. I wish you lots of luck x x

Make a doctor's appointment as soon as possible and tell them everything you've told us.
