My two year old son is constantly heating me, pulling my hair, pretty much when he doesn't get his way, then he throws a BIG FIT. My nerves are shot, Yesterday he cried the whole day, it wasnt because i didnt show him enough attention. He wasnt hungry he ate all day. He wasn't tired, he had a nap. I just dont know what to do.

I just read the book: 'your two-year-old, terrible or tender'. It has some nice suggestions in it on how to deal with that sort of behavior but overall it just made me feel better to understand that it's just a phase and it's due to brain immaturity, not because they are bad.

I know, my little boy is doing the exact same things to both me & my husband. We are trying to be very firm with him and remind him that it hurts Mommy (owie!) and to be gentle. It is a trying time, I agree. Looking for other mom's in similar situations helps me too... that's why I'm here!
