To the experienced mothers
Any advice would be nice.......our little Tristan has entered into his terrible two's. For all of you that have met him he is a little boy through and through. He loves all things that define a boy. Dirt, bugs, climbing, fighting, jumping....anything that might require him getting hurt he loves. Lately Tristan has gone beyond his 2 year old boyness and has started to act out in a manner that I believe is beyond just being a boy. He has taken to hitting, biting, pulling hair, pushing...you name it he does it. Now please don't get me wrong he is still a good boy just with a very ornery streak lately. Timeouts aren't seeming to work, taking the toys away...nope that didn't work....spankins.....nope not that one either. How do you bargain with a 2 year old? Any advice from the mom's out there would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for the advice!

my brothers favorite line to his two is "Crabby needs a nap" and the threat of nap time seems to work .. but that is also with two girls
Trust me, as a mother of 3 boys, it's just a phase. He is trying to get attention and this is one way he is getting it. I will agree with hippie family, naps are always a blessing! Hang in there mommy!
I agree with Liz. It is just a phase. He is probally trying to see how much he can get away with. So stick to your guns, even when you feel like nothing is working. Eventually he will see that he has to give in and follow the rules or he will always be in trouble. Remember kids are so much smarter than they are given credit for. Being 2 is so hard 'cause they can't always express everything and that is frustrating and they need to get the point across somehow. What we see as onrey or "bad" is really how kids are trying to tell us something. Like Jack told me the other day "You are incharge, but I am alittle incharge, right?". Don't worry it is not a sign of what is coming it is a sign of a time that is passing!!!
