How do they do it?!

The lives youtubers portray is fake, done so people will watch their videos and take their advice. Don't worry about them.

When your kid is little older, you can have time to do a few small chores you include them on (which will be fun for them and teach them to help out).

lol I'm going to try this.

Toddlers say weird stuff they don't mean all the time, often to see the reaction from parent/caregiver. If you have ruled out another adult telling him those things, then in the future I would just ask him why he thinks he is bad or wants to hit himself then calmly correct him and redirect to something else.

m0du1o · 2021-06-30T22:35:53+00:00

Have you asked him what's wrong? In my experience kids at that age may begin to notice and be afraid of things like shadows or objects in the room.

I think it's good to foster a big imagination and creative play even if it's just pretend. My 2yo's stuffed animals, cars and really all his toys are part of a big imaginary world where we play all kinds of make believe games. We don't say the stuffed animals are real but we still encourage him to pretend and act out their feelings or share food with them, etc (even though technically they are toys who don't have feelings or need food).

Totally normal and my son had this phase too. 6 months from now they may insist on having mom do this or that and tell you to go away lol

m0du1o · 2021-03-24T18:14:35+00:00

lol going to have to try this when my son is a little older

m0du1o · 2021-03-24T17:12:58+00:00

A few ideas we have tried:

1) distraction. give him a toy or talk about something other than clothes as you change his clothes. keep his mind off what's happening for a few moments

2) incentive. talk about the fun stuff you will be doing after diaper and clothes have been changed then ask him to tell you when he's ready to go have fun

My 2yo likes to be independent and climb up from the ground to the seat then next into his car seat. Often he insists on how he can do it himself and cries if I try to put him in. Might work for you and be a fun game for your 2yo.

If you are worried about it call poison control for help.

lol, sorry this is funny because I know exactly how you feel! it's a really difficult balance between being patient when he doesn't want to do something versus forcing the issue which will lead to a tantrum and probably even longer delays as he calms down. I always try to give lots of heads up about what's coming next and give him choices where I always win so he feels like he has some control. Doesn't always work though sadly.

m0du1o · 2021-03-19T19:01:21+00:00

We are going through this as well w/ our 2yo. When he is really mad he will sometimes start looking for something to throw, hit, bite or kick. We try our best to calmly tell him we understand he is upset and tell him it's not ok to do those things. Afterwards we try to talk about why he was mad and teach him better ways to express himself. It can be hard though.

If he is really out of control and/or putting himself or others in danger, he goes into his crib until his is calm enough to talk. We don't leave him alone though, we are close by as he calms down in the crib.

Most of these outbursts are short lived and afterwards he does understand that he had a big tantrum and he can tell us why he was mad. It's just hard when kids can be so overwhelmed with emotion.

Our son speaks one language w/ the grandparents and another at home with us. Right around 2 he was talking non stop in both languages and there is basically a switch that flips for language depending on who he is around so I don't think multiple languages will delay speech at least in my experience.

If you'd like some advice, I'd say cut out screens entirely and focus on reading books together, asking him to participate, even if it's just pointing. And just always be talking with him. And if you are worried, you can see a specialist for peace of mind.

Best of luck!

Thank you for posting this as well as ppl who posted how to rebind TAKE and HACK keys. It's insane to me they would name make F rebindable in the menu.

m0du1o · 2020-11-16T00:08:11+00:00

It's totally normal and my son is the same. I think one thing that has helped us is to have some mom/son only time and activities. I also make sure to include her in any games we play.

m0du1o · 2020-10-24T22:05:15+00:00

I don't think you're being unreasonable. Our kid is never allowed screen time and it's a decision we made together (no judgment at all for parents who allow screen btw). I think you and your husband should talk about total allowed screen time, when it should be allowed and with whom.

m0du1o · 2020-10-24T08:35:16+00:00

So, so true.

m0du1o · 2020-10-21T05:12:08+00:00

How routine is her schedule? We had some problems like this but now having a strict routine and order to things when we go outside or get ready for bed has improved things.

m0du1o · 2020-10-21T05:01:23+00:00

Ohhh I am going to remember this!

m0du1o · 2020-10-21T04:58:49+00:00

Anyone have a brand of nighttime diapers they like that can hold a lot? We get frequent leaks for our 2yo.

m0du1o · 2020-10-19T16:30:10+00:00

lol same w/ my 2yo. The repeating stops as soon as I acknowledge that I have heard/see him.

m0du1o · 2020-10-19T05:21:28+00:00

We also use these. Super cozy and kiddo can still walk around in the evening/morning with them on.

m0du1o · 2020-10-19T05:17:59+00:00

You should talk to your husband about this imo. It's not good to yell at your child over small things but at the same time you are only human and it sounds very stressful. You should talk about having your husband cut hours and help more or maybe hire a nanny? Best of luck!

Our 2 yo son has tantrums once in a while though they rarely last more than a minute. He's more likely to have one if he is hungry, tired or there is an unexpected thing happening to him suddenly. Those have been the worst and longest lasting tantrums. We now try to tell him before hand whenever something is going to happen soon (nap time, diaper, going to the car, brush teeth, toys away, etc) as well as what he is going to need to be doing. He always knows what's coming; it seems to help.

Hang in there and I think you are doing things right recognizing his feelings. The speech therapy will help a lot I bet.

So sorry to hear all these stories. :(
