I need some help with discipline. I'm at a loss of what I should do for my almost three year old. Not a lot seems to be working. I'm beginning to wonder if it's more than a phase. He's starting to say b****, we watch our words around him because he loves to repeat. He's starting to hit, like actually punch; his tantrums have gotten out of control, he screams at the top of his lungs and throws toys or anything in reach. He's getting real bad about telling me 'No'. It's getting hard to take him out and about with the way he's been acting. We've tried spanking, timeout. Nothing really seems to help. He just sits there like ok whatever and then will do something again. It doesn't phase him at all.
He does it the worst when it's just me. But has started doing it with my husband too. Usually at other peoples homes, they have very little trouble with him. Could it be a jealousy things because of his little brother or just a toddler phase?
