Discipline

My lo is 2.5 years old and literally overnight went from a really well behaved mild mannered toddler to a little girl that constantly hits me in the face, screams and tantrums to the next level when things dont go her way and doesnt share a single toy with anyone, ive had to leave puplic places too many times now because its just too embarrassing ive tried gentle parenting ive tried being stern ive shouted myself a few times out of frustration and she is just not one single bit interested in any instruction from me i dont know where ive went so wrong but she is just awful At the moment i cant go anywhere and its literal torture in the house too what do i do when my child doesnt have an ounce of respect for me at all i mean when i tell her off she laughs in my face😫

So sorry you're going through this! Has anything changed in the household? My son seems a bit more handsy especially at nursery.. Don't know if that's just being a toddler or because I am pregnant and a baby coming 🤷🏼‍♀️ Keep showing boundaries and love. I use a naughty corner concept at the moment to get him to actually listen

Mine is the same... a lady held my buggy for me while I struggled to strap her in there because she demanded a scooter "right now" and did not understand that mummy said No. The lady just said: they're so lovely and also little horrors at that age and explained how she needed to pull her kid out of a museum one time..on the floor... screaming! People think there must be something wrong at home or the circumstances have changed etc... honestly... they're just little animals lol who are just learning how to behave, how to share, how to exist in a civilised manner... takes a long time. But I believe as it happened overnight ...it's also gonna happen overnight that they become "normal" lol Their brain is growing super fast so they tend to get confused, overwhelmed etc etc. And for those who say "back then kids knew how to behave" ..yeah because of the instilled fear 😨 not cool! Don't worry it is tiring I'm nearly 8 months pregnant and super exhausted ... I can't deal sometimes but it'll pass x

Thankyou both it means allot, its just heartbreaking i dont know where my little girl has gone😂😂

Lol... they call it the terrible twos for a reason! It's just many mums act like theirs are like little angels so they make other mums feel sh...ooooot xx

My LG doesnt do any of those things to that extreme bit she has been a right DICKHEAD most of the past week, not listening and doing stupid shit. Whinging loads and throwing tantrums/demand shouting at me. Normally she is also a very well mannered behaved little girl too, which only winds me up more 🤦‍♀️ Typical as i write this she comes over for a random cuddle and being all sweet 🥹

I think she skipped terrible twos for straight up threenager at times 🙈😅

My son changed overnight when our second was born 3 months ago. He's over the worst of it now. After speaking to mums of slightly older children I felt reassured. Everyone said they all go through it eventually but the age can vary!

Our 2 year old yoyos between being lovely for a few weeks and then testing us for a few weeks at the moment. Time outs weren't working for us and then the nursery worker suggested we make discipline more personal to what he likes. Our son loves his bike and toy cars so a threat to take his cars away or an offer to reward him with time in the garden on his bike works a million times better for him. We have had to follow through on him losing his cars once but after a very emotional evening, we have never had to do it again. It was good advice though, food for thought!

We have also cut down sugar and found that it makes a very big difference to behaviour
