My DS is going through terrible two's. He screams when I ask him to do anything, and to top it off, he has now started hitting me. Not anyone else, just me.
Naughty corner doesn't work. He just laughs.
taking his precious toy doesn't work for more than a few mins. And if I am feeding the bub, he will drag a chair over and get it down. (have changed where I put it now)
Smacking him back, really doesnt seem like the answer, asit would be reinforcing the behaviour. I have thought about smacking him in the same spot that he smacks me, so that he understands that it hurts to get smacked, although I am not sure about wanting to do this.

When we were at the shops there was an indoor playground. He went right to the top and wouldn't come down. Just stayed in there and laughed. Eventually I had to climb up and drag him down. He was smacking me the whole time. I then had to drag him out of the shops. I am sure that people thought I was a terrible mother. What do I do???
