I have a 3 1/2 year old son and a 1 year old baby girl that I love more than life itself. I try very hard to be a good parent and will die trying. My son has been throwing some major tantrums here lately, mainly after playing with his cousing who is 1 year older. The fits are so bad, and we do time outs for these. The time out consists of putting a chair in the corner and making him sit out for a period of time. Of course, it takes us over 15 minutes to even get him to the chair. Even after, he throws kicking screaming fits. So as he gets bigger, he is getting stronger. Today was the biggest one yet. He has started physically hitting and kicking me while I am trying to get him to his chair. He weighs over 40 pounds and is throwing himself down to the ground so that I have to lift him. Today while doing this, I had him by his arm trying to pick him up to his feet and all the while he is kicking me and screaming. Of course I had a grip on him, but he is twisting away from me.
