Parents of Preschoolers  Discussion Forum

My son is 27 months old. He has always been a happy and cheerful child. But lately he has become very aggressive. I usually try not to fulfill his demands especially if he is being stubborn or crying for it. But he will shout and scream if we don' t give him something he wants. Or just cry. I try to distract him and sometimes that will work. Whats more concerning to me though is that he gets very angry at times and sometimes he will look directly at me and shout ' no' very intently. I am a very loving parent so I feel very hurt when his anger is directed towards me like that. I live in the US and work full time. He used to stay with a baby sitter while I worked. Recently my inlaws visited us for 6 months and he got pretty spoilt in their care. After they left which is about 2 weeks ago, I put him in a day care. He is pretty quite and disciplined there. Normally he is a very happy and cheeful kid. Socially adapts himself and very friendly. But at home he is assertive and getting very demanding. Sometimes at public places he will lie down on the floor if we don' t give him something he wants which is very embarrassing. I am very concerned about his behaviour. I just wanted to check if this is a normal behavior for a two year old. How can I make him to be more patient and less demanding. If anybody has similar kids, please share. Hetal replied. Hi,

I have a 2.5 year old daughter. She goes to Tree House at Vile Parle two hours a day. Rest of the time she is home, not doing much. Would someone any activity center where I can send her so that she can pass her time, and learn something new? At home, she generally gets cranky and drives everyone crazy with her whinigs and demands.
