Help with a 2 year old!!!?


I care for a 2 year old who is just wonderful. However, when his mom (a 1st time 1st grade teacher) comes home to pick him up at my house, he, of course, begins challenging and pushing buttons, i.e. ignoring me if I speak to him, screaming "no" at his mother, breaking rules that he honors during the day before his mother arrives. HELP!!!

Answers:
He's two, he might just be in a defiant stage right now. Do you know how he behaves at home with his mom? If he respects you all day and starts acting out when she's around maybe he's just acting out against her.

I'm not a child psychologist, but I'd say he'll get over it eventually.
Sit the kid down and ask why do they do it.

Tell them it is not appropriate to do that and what them to stop doing it.

Some kids actually will actually do what you say.
maybe he don't want his mom to know that he's been good, my little girl was always good at someone else's house, and followed the rules, but as soon as she saw me, it's like she thought she could get away with anything, talk to his mom, maybe she can help you, cause it's her problem, and she needs to fix it, i had to, but just tell her that he's a good boy, you just don't know why he acts bad when she gets there, she should be able to help you........... just talk to her
