Any tips on handling the terrible twos and remaining sane? I swear my son is pushing me to my limit daily on purpose and…

my son is doing the same things as your son! I actually started smacking his little butt every time he hit his head on purpose (it was getting so bad he was getting big red bumps on his forehead and back of his head) and for like 2 weeks he didn't hit his head but like 2 times, and you could see it register, 'oh crap, what did I do'. but he's back to doing it again, time out doesn't work, relax time doesn't work, if he gets a spanking he laughs in my face... and the non-stop screaming for no reason is getting old. and he gets the 'don't touch me' thing too alot. I get that he doesn't communicate when he's upset but he talks very well for his age, he knows hit to tell us he's mad or hurts, he just refuses to when he's throwing a fit. hopefully we can work past it, I tell him to use his words, tell me what you are feeling, and we talk about emotions all the time but I guess it's a work in progress...

My son is the same age as yours and I feel your pain. He's the sweetest nicest little boy and he knows how to behave well. But he chooses not to a lot of the time! He throws raging fits to where he just lays on the floor and SCREAMS for long amounts. He bangs his head on the floor when he doesn't get his way and then he cries about it (like whaaaaa you just did it to yourself?!) he screams at the top of his lungs for no reason, sometimes he doesn't even let us near him during a fit, and he doesn't listen whatsoever either. I could go on and on!!! It drives me nuts especially since I've got a newborn too. But I just figure he's changing and developing and doesn't know how to handle it, and also they get so frustrated because they don't know how to properly communicate in order to get their point across or say what they want...I think that's a big part of why toddlers who can't talk yet act out!

I'm in the same boat with my two year old. He just turned two and he certainly can throw a fit! I'm 7 weeks pregnant and exhausted from taking care of him all day and working the night shift. Send halppppp!

my son is 20m and I keep hearing the horrible threes are worse, not sure how much of this constantly I can take before he spends a few days at nanas a week!! Lol
