I have a 2 year old son, but by the way he acts you would think he is less than 1 yr old, he is very mean what

what can I do to make him listen to me? He screams like he is dying, he is very mean to his toys, and he gets up way to early and messes in things, someone please tell me what to do. I am afraid to go to a doctor or someone in person cause its embarrassing and I have 2 more kids and 1 on the way and I dont want the social services involved.

I also have a 2 year old son, that acts the exact same way.I realize that this is the stage that they call the terrible twos, but I sometimes think that he is just going to the extreme with things.He will scream at the top of his lungs, sometimes for as long as thirty minutes over the smallest things. He does not listen very well either and is mean to his three year old sister but sometimes he is the sweetest boy on the earth. Everyone I have talked to tells me that he is "just a boy and will grow out of it." I do not think that social services would want to get involved unless you beat him or something. So don't worry about that.Talk to your doctor about this.i t helps if you have someone to hand him off to for awhile so you can get your sanity back.I do noy believe in spanking, but I have found that spatting my son's hand just nhard enough to sting, getting down on his level and explaining to him that this is not acceptable behavior and then putting him in timeout(if he gets up, take him back without speaking to him and set him back down for TWO minutes, NO EXCEPTIONS!!!)This has calmed my son down some, however it didn't happen overnight, it took a while and I had to be consistent.If you need to talk to someone you can email me at jeanie_thacker@sbcglobal.net.J... hang in there.Believe me you are not the only one who feels like you are going stark ravin crazy!!!!!I am in the same boat!!!!We will survive and the boys will probably turn out to be the nicest kids on the block.
