...My lil' 20 month old is doing the same thing.<br />I've spoken w/ other moms who've said their little ones always seem to act out more when they are going through a developmental spurt.<br />I am still working on my strategy. I am doing something in between Happiest Toddler on the Block (with lots of attention & checking in & rewards & "toddler-ese" to let him know I am listening and understanding him) and a more strict routine. I've found I HAVE to be VERY consistent with everything I do with my son.<br />I now give him 2 warnings: first time I say please don't do that. 2nd time, I tell him if he does it again we will stop the activity ect and I follow through. I've noticed some improvement, not as much as I would like. <br />The other thing I've started to do is offer 2 or 3 options. For holding hands while walking, I will say would you like to hold my hand, or go in the stroller (or I'll carry you ect). Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.<br /><br />If you find anything that works, let me know ;-)Rachellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08531880998118119677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095232292760007490.post-58123184347799824302010-05-31T16:51:33.022-04:002010-05-31T16:51:33.022-04:00Yes, I need some ideas for the terrible two's ...Yes, I need some ideas for the terrible two's too. My son is telling us no all the time! I also pick my battles. Anything with safety (like holding hands in the parking lot) is huge and if he breaks free and runs away he does get in trouble. I tell him he's bad (which is just devastating to him) and then put him in the car seat and we leave. He did this for about a week before he caught on that running in the parking lot is bad. <br />NicoleNicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10617449847571009388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095232292760007490.post-19841663908177129182010-05-31T16:14:49.434-04:002010-05-31T16:14:49.434-04:00aaaw so cute!

Disrupted routines can be rough. ...What a cutie!! Disrupted routines can be rough. Ours is about to be disrupted for 2 weeks, starting Wednesday, when we have family coming an going for a spell. <br /><br />As for the terrible twos, it's only for a time. (Except for my tot who was born in that phase. LOL) My advice would pick the battles that you want to "fight" and be consistent with how you handle dealing with those behaviors.<br /><br />At our house disipline for our tot is usually removing her from the situation (either a 2-min time out or "sorry you can't play xyz anymore find something else to do") or removing a toy that she's using inapporiately. (Say hitting her sister with the bean bags.)<br /><br />A battle that I'm not choosing to fight at the moment is "I not you fwiend." Yes my two year old says that. With such a look on her face....oooh drives me nuts. But for now I'm not fighting that battle. I just smile and say, "That's okay, sissy will be my friend." I'm hoping that no reaction will stop the behavior. She's stubborn though.Stefaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07286011831882699289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095232292760007490.post-40348353549970747532010-05-21T19:01:59.174-04:002010-05-21T19:01:59.174-04:00Looks like you had a lot of fun!

I wing it too! Seems like 75% of the things he doesn't want to do other than color. I figure it is a learning and growing process, so I keep trying, maybe he will like something eventually ;-)<br />I am actually seeing some payoff, he is recognizing colors and letters! YAY! So it is having an impact :-)<br />Z pretty much just loves to scribble and call everything an "o". He he. He is definitely not into sorting or matching, but I keep trying!<br />Again, thanks!Rachellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08531880998118119677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095232292760007490.post-4975570590838271042010-04-13T13:21:13.192-04:002010-04-13T13:21:13.192-04:00Great week, I love your kite activities!!Great week, I love your kite activities!!htebazilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16000157316988407142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095232292760007490.post-83713623095821768372010-04-12T21:55:06.141-04:002010-04-12T21:55:06.141-04:00what a fun week!!!!what a fun week!!!!sbswtphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01448786802539618585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095232292760007490.post-62128498275182645542010-04-12T20:00:13.333-04:002010-04-12T20:00:13.333-04:00super cute ideas, and i love the outdoor water tab...super cute ideas, and i love the outdoor water table. where did you find it?Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10063070371327783480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095232292760007490.post-35418230513640819612010-04-11T22:43:44.716-04:002010-04-11T22:43:44.716-04:00Love the spring tree!

I have a son that was born Sept 11, 2008, so our sons are the same age!<br />I am always so impressed by the activities you give to Noah that he is willing to do. My son and I have just started with tot school in the last month or so. We are starting out slow as he isn't really a fan of most activities besides scribbling or tossing the "scoopables" around (you know, instead of transferring them). Are there any tips you'd be willing to pass on?<br />Thanks!Rachellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08531880998118119677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095232292760007490.post-71107808444128119312010-04-05T23:57:49.461-04:002010-04-05T23:57:49.461-04:00I love the spring tree :) I hope he is feeling muc...I love the spring tree :) I hope he is feeling much better!sbswtphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01448786802539618585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095232292760007490.post-56518503122734281012010-04-05T22:37:28.250-04:002010-04-05T22:37:28.250-04:00I like the shape printable too - could I get that...I like the shape printable too - could I get that link as well?Learning All Togetherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13271311191398416584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095232292760007490.post-16451480150384160212010-04-05T17:32:41.080-04:002010-04-05T17:32:41.080-04:00Oh love his outfit, especially that hat!!Oh love his outfit, especially that hat!!Cassiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00506628800184226270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095232292760007490.post-55950883527462408622010-04-05T16:22:32.824-04:002010-04-05T16:22:32.824-04:00These are great activities~!
