Gabriel Bryson

Hey everyone thanks for the invite. I really ought to spend more time talking with other parents. My toddler is 20 months old and I am getting worried about the "terrible twos" if anyone has some advice to deal with the whinning or high pitched screams please do. Gabriel is usally well behaved but from time to time he gets stubborn and upset. I hope this is normal and if anyone knows of how to deal with him acting up( without spanking or yelling) I would like some help. I want to be able to disipline him calmly so that he will learn something positive from my example. I admit I am a very young mother and I could use the help where ever and whenever I can get it. Thanks Laura Wallace

Laura this is a phase. My son sooooo went through it. Depending on how bad it was I would ignore it and try to figure out what was bothering him. But if he would just scream I would put him in his room and told him if he wanted to talk to me or ask for something he needed to stop crying, screaming, or whinning and when he did he could come get me. Then and only then would I give him what he wanted or what he was screaming for. One thing, if he is not crying and calling for your attention stop everything and give him your undivided attention. This will give him the understanding of respect and full attention. Works so far for me, good luck.

Don't worry about being a young mom, being a mom at any age can present it's challenges. My son is 20 months old and very persistant and even though we are not going though the screaming we are going through the whiining and the telling rather than asking so we have started using the corner.
