My son will b turning 2 in July and he is always throwing his toys, bitting me, and hitting everyone. I am really starting to get on my last nerve and i really dont know what to do. Does anyone have any advice ???

Hi Katelin,

I am a mom of a three year old boy and I've gone through similar behavior with my son. I thought he was too yound when I started putting him on a "naughty spot" but he understood it and I still use it to this day. Whenever he did something like you mentioned, I put him on the bottom step of my stairs. this was my and continues to be his "spot." I sit him there for as long as he is old. At first he will probably get up but you just have to keep sitting him back down on it. Then you walk away and don't give him any attention. When his time is up you get down to his eye level and in a stern voice you explain why you put him there. Then you tell them, "Now say 'sorry Mommy'". Even if they don't understand every word, they get the jist. Then you ask for a hug and you say "I still love you." It's hard the first few times you do it, but it has had a big impact on controlling my son's behavior. you can even threaten them with it and it works most of the time. This is all from Nanny 911. My friend used it and recommended that I try it. I hope you find some relief. Good luck!

I do the same thing as Lisa. It has worked well for us. I also tell my son to use his words. Sometimes I tell him what he could say instead of acting out. I have him repeat after me, once I figure out what he wants/ needs.

Good luck to you. I hope you find a solution that works for you and your family.

I do something along the same lines. My apartment is all one level, so my sons room is right off of our living room, and i dont really have any place to sit him. So i have a child gate i put on his room at night so if i dont hear him he doesnt get into the hallway. Well i use that and he has alone time in his room for a few minutes. Than after that i get down to him and explain to him why he is in there and how it gives people bad boo boos. Than we have this thing anyways where we kiss our boo boos all better so he ends up kissing them and saying sorry! He still has his tiffs but he is getting better.  Good luck to you!
