Terrible 2's?

I have 2 kids- older son is 2 years old and little one is 7 months old. I am having such a hard time handling my older one- Sheh. He is into everything! he wont listen to me no matter what I say or do- he would actually laugh at me :frowning: I tried like everything but nothing works on him. recently he started this new thing of hitting his younger brother-Daniyal. I know Sheh wants to play with Daniyal and cuddle him but pushing him away does not count as playing. he would take away all the toys from him. I just pray for everyday that this time shall pass and Sheh would someday learn his manners! please any suggestions?

Honey with your particular problem I can not give you any suggestion since I have only 1 kid and have never dealt with such issue. I can see that you are from Karachi Pakistan if you want to visit a ped / child specialist I can give you names and contact numbers of few very good doctor. I saw in other thread your concern about your son not talking. If I were you I would take him to doctor. Let me know if you want contact nos and I will PM you.

i m sorry i can feel ur pain.. maybe the older one is just jealous. its natural for him to feel so. pls give ur utmost attention to the older one cus the younger one cannot feel neglected but the other one is old enough to feel bad so please dun forget to spend some quality time with him. make him do work for his brother.. make him feel old enough.. make him feel hes a big boy and younger bro needs him

Kids should never be left alone if they are not confined in a safe , childproof and child friendly space. They can do anything in blink of an eye. So if they are together then watch them. If you have to take care of household affairs , then make sure older one is confined to a space which is safe , childproof and child friendly.
Unfortunately , for the kid like your older son, who is smart, curious and active ,there is no other way around it.
