Hi, I am needing some advice. My son is mostly a lovely but lively boy. He's just 2 I have been firm but fair from quite early on (since he knew he was being cheeky really - about 15 months). we've had "time out" etc. and use reward charts for good behaviour. However, I am now having great problems when it's just me (with daddy he's fine!). He refuses to respond to requests (nappy changing, getting dressed, getting into the buggy, car seat etc). Some of these are just very frustrating (we try counting 1-3 - sometimes works - but then withdraw a privilege) but sometimes especially when we're out, it feels almost dangerous, and that he is holding me to ransom. I often literally cannot get him into the car seat, or buggy etc. He is very very strong, I can't do time out because we're often by a road or in a car park. If I try picking him up, he usually hits me or scratches me. Today trying to get a loaf of bread from the corner shop turned into something from Nightmare on Elm Street. Any advice please?.....I really need some tips. Thanks.
