My son is very emotional and stubborn..how do i handle him

Question

My son is 2yr old he does things on his own doesn't listen to anyone if i show him how to do things he would not listen..its very tough to mold him..he starts crying if i raise my voice even a little louder....can anyone help me how can i mold him....

Answer 1

put him in timeout, and every time he screams, start over the time.  

Answer 2

well, i wouldn't say mold them. just let him be himself.  smart kids often go through that "i can do it all by myself" phase.  he wants to learn on his own, and who cares if he doesn't' do it the way you want (with any type of  efficiency or logic :-D ) so long as he "cleans" up his messes (meaning with your help.  but he should start learning the consequences of his behavior).  This is of course if it's not stuff that will hurt him, like running down the street alone.

NOW, the crying thing is something you need to work on.  You should let him have some freedom, but he should also understand there are somethings a two year old can't do (like leaving the house on his own.  i had a nephew that would constantly just try to walk outside without telling anyone, like he was an adult).  If he cries sit him down in whatever "crying" area until he calms down.  Tell him he'll have to say there until he calms down.  When get gets up to leave (and he will) pick him up and move him back.  He'll cry until he figures it out or goes to sleep.  I should also note distraction/options works.  If he cries for a LONG time in the crying spot say "you can stay here and cry, or you can help me... (make some brownies, go to the park, etc something he likes)

if he's already outside, grab his hand, pull him over to the side, squat down so you're eye level, and again say "you can cry or we can continue walking to the park" etc.  Of course if he's just tired and cranky, you may just have to take him home for a nap

Answer 3

spank him until he stops

Answer 4

If he openly disobeys you, put him in time-out. Ignore him if he starts crying because you're voice got a little louder. Cryings not going to hurt him, and you can't be afraid of upsetting him. If you try to show him how to do something and he doesn't listen, just say fine i won't tell you how to do it, and walk away. He'll ask you for help later on and then you will be empowered.

Answer 5

Sounds like the "Terrible Twos" to me.  Grin and bear it.  Billions before you have managed.

Answer 6

beat him if he doesnt listen he starts crying let him cry soon he will learn to respect and fear you
