Look into the PDI therapy. - parent directed interaction. 5 mins a day only...and I swear...yes I will swear because its proven dramatic results in under a month, your child will behave better than ever. My child would hit spit scream...not go to bed...not stay in time out...nothing.......3 years old.....I almost lost it. To the point where spanking didn't even work (turns out positive correction gets better results and attention than negative). after a week and half....my son no long hit...kicked...spit..yelled at me.. or anything. Time outs are 99% better and he goes to bed at 730 and stays in bed!

With the PDI "special time" and a bedtime routine combined....my son has done a 180 from h3ll child to angel. And believe me NY stress level is way down and he is so much easier to handle.

Btw I also have a 2 year old but he doesn't act that way, but the special time is still beneficial.

There is a second part after you have mastered the PDI which is a directed time. If a child still needs work...which most children have turned around by then, then this is the next step which I am doing with my son to further acceptable behavior.

If ANYONE wants more info please message me and I'll help you all I can. A family psychologist has helped us and i can at least give you basics if you can't get one.

Best if luck...i know how hard it is with that behavior!

I can relate to all of you im 39+3 wks and wow im surprise I haven't been thrown in jail. I am getting to the point were I want to spank my 2 yr old. She is beyond defiant and she gets worse when were in public. She throws her,trantrums while were at the store if she doesn't get something she wants. She never  behaved like that in the beginning of my pregnancy. The further I get the worse she is. I cry everyday because I don't know what to do. Time outs are a joke to her and I am seriously at the point were im thinking maybe one spank will show her im serious. I don't know what else to do. I felt so bad I thought I was the only one.

Omg... its not just my kids then...I have 4½ and 3½ year olds... and their just horrible at the
Moment. Eldest isn't too bad, but neither will
Listen to either me nor their daddy. Youngest won't eat...I have to keep feeding him.Else I'm up in the night cause he's hungry.. and he just
Runs off when ever he gets the chance...my dad had put up a fence and gate for me cause
I can't keep chasing him down the street.... I'm guessing its the fact that I'm pregnant and
They sence things will change.. or I'm just
On edge all the time.. I try not to loose it and stay calm with them but its not easy... 10 days left till no,3 arrives.... but I'm pulling my hair out here.

Yes, I'm 35wks & I have a 2yr old boy. He is absolutely driving me INSANE!! He was good up until I got pregnant & now he's super defiant, he kicks me, punches me, head butts me, yells back, just straight up being an ***!!! I feel bad for how I feel & I know its the hormones but geeeeez! Its nice to know I'm not alone feeling this way.
