I have a toddler. He is 21 mo old a terror that distroys the house but a sweety but one that also is hitting and biteing and all of the above if you do know what I mean with that statement. And well any way if he acts like that to kids whitch it is worse with kids, how will he be toward the baby and well I spank and spank and time out and time out not working all that well and all of this aside I don't know how to punish him to realize he can't do this. He is also very strong for his age and big he sometimes don't mean to be realy rough with the kids but he is, I don't know how to make him see he can't be that rough either! Please any one???!!!!????!!? ↓

| I know what you mean - my daughter is just getting out of that period - thansk god!! (she's 2y.10m. old), and my son is just getting into it (he's 15 mo). At 21 months, it is possible to already start the "naughty chair" method. Do you know about it? If you haven't seen the Supernanny show, I can explain the method. If you've seen it, then you know that your son will surely not sit in one place right away and you will have to spend a considerable amount of time keeping him in place until he gets it (for some kids it took hours until they got that mommy is not joking). The method replaces the spanking, which is not good for the child and for your own nerves, with a more effective way to put your child in line. It just works and your child emerges a nicer, better behaved individual. ↑ |

| If he bites,bite him back. If he hits,hit him back.He will get it eventually when hes tired of getting bit and hit. ↑ |

| I tried everything also. This works - take hime to a fun place (like a park) where there are lots of kids. Tell him once that he can not hurt other children. Warn him only once - that if he does - he will have to leave the park. I did this with my son and it only took 3 trips to the park to correct his behavior. ↑ |

| You can't teach your child to stop hitting or bitting by hitting or biting him. Be firm but loving ↑ |

| I have a time out chair, 15 min in the time out chair that is his time out. He don't stay in it, he keeps getting out so I make time out longer and longer every time he does that but no luck yet he just gets a worse attitude and well I don't know what to do. I do know that he is sweet but he is trying to push me or something he behaves more when his daddy is home. ↑ |

| Sabrina, oh my god. 15 minutes is a enormous amount of time for a 2 year old. He won't remember why he's in that chair by the 5th minute. The chair should be swift to be effective - 1 minute for 1 year of life, in your case 2 min maximum. After 2 min, sit at his level, look into his eyes and ask why mommy put him in the chair. he should be able to explain, in his words. Ask him to say sorry and hug you. Works like magic. ↑ |
