Tiny tyrant

My little guy is turning into a tyrant. He yells for me to "go away" or "move." I hate this and when I try to reprimand him he runs full force into my legs to push me away or he will bite. He is usually pretty even tempered. What's the deal?

He's two right! He is simply trying to be more independant and seperate himself from you .. a little glimpse into teenagerism!! Just keep doing what you are doing .. get on his eye level and tell him how his actions make you feel .. not how they make him look. Be persistant and he'll eventually give up.

Welcome to my world... it is called Attitude Alley. There is plenty of room here. That is the typical 2 year old age. Sorry, but my 4 year old has it too.

Fortunately, my little affection hound doesn't yell at me to move or go away. But she does bite and do other things I don't like. I tell her how it makes me feel and if she doesn't stop, I refuse to play with her.

Put the fear of god into them is how I handle it. I threaten punichment first and then follow through.

For real what's been working for me to get his attention so that I can ask/inform him of what it is I'm trying to accomplish. I ask him to put his listening ears on, and believe or not it works! I say it with some authority.

Well he usually does it when he's embarrassed or mad so he is usually sweet, but it's just disheartening. Especially when my husband gets home from a 3 day trip and as soon as Aaron sees him, he says, "Daddy, go away" and he wants me. Poor Jeff.

I tell him that it's not nice to say that but then he just says, "go" instead of "go away," like that makes a difference. *sigh*
