well let me start off by saying the work outs are going good im down 9 pounds and still going strong now on to the other topic:
My son turned 2 on September 6th and he is driving me NUTS!! dont get me wrong i love him to death and would not trade him for the world but come one kid lets use that brain you have!! i dont get what goes through this kid head sometimes. And his new thing is LITERALLY thowing himself on the floor and screaming like someone just killed his dog and then hit him over the head with it... and he dose this when he drops a toy... COME ON NOW! then he just started trowing his food all over the floor and not eating i mean the kid has lost 2 pounds sinse his birthday im a bit worried i cant get him to eat!! (is that normal) timeouts work for about 45 minutes then is back to the grind. the other day he was throwing one of his fits for no reason and i had, had enough! i sent him to his room turned out the light and shut the door as i told him that when he can act like a big boy he can come out and talk to me.... he cried for 2 hours!!! all because i would not let him eat some lotion... i dont get it...
am i doing something wrong did someone trade kids with me without me knowing.. because he has done a 190 since he was 1 year and 364 days old but now that he is 2 all hell has broke loose... he is normally really good with his brother but know he hits and takes toys and crying when im nursing him... screaming MOMMY MOMMY NO BABY! then that makes me feel bad like im not playing with him enough but we play all day.. i read books we sing songs and everything but it dont matter! and taking him out in public is a night mare i feel like the worse parent ever in public and everyone looks at me like i am too! UGH can he just be 5 yet! okay okay i dont mean that he has his sweet moments but not enough!
HELP any advise will be loved!!
Sounds like you need a time out chair like Nanny 911 and sit him in it when he is acting up but do the warning first then if he does it again or keeps doing it sit him in time out chair for 2 minutes its a minute per age and tell him that what he is doing is not acceptable and when his two minutes is up you tell him why you sat him down and make him say sorry and hug and try it all over again.
ReplyDeleteI think all kids try the throwing themselfs down and screaming but its usually in public :), And yes there are going to be times when he is jellous of the baby but that is what one on one time is and I am sure you give him that.
And with Daddy away I bet things have gotten worse being a military wife and mother I remember those days and its hard you want to sit down and just cry.
I remember having a mommy and me get together out in the parking lot under a car port with all finds of fun things to do like sand and buckets, water stuff to play in, story time etc with other little ones during the mornings and moms would bring cookies and kool-aid or juice but this was way back in the 80's so not sure anyone does this anymore but it was really fun for the moms and baby and toddlers.
Good luck and if you ever need to talk I am usually around on messenger or FB.
