I'm sure there are plenty of posts along the same lines as this topic but I needed to talk to someone! I am really struggling to cope with my son's behaviour and no matter what I do it's not working. He will be 2 yrs old next week, and over the last two months things have just been very odd. I can't say he throws a full blown tantrum, but there is a constant NO to everything, no cooperation, lots of whinging and lots of crying. He'll be okay for a couple of weeks and then we get into a phase were everything is wrong, not matter what it's all wrong. You don't get the juice fast enough, the food on the plate fast enough, get him out of the car fast enough and so forth - he will just burst into tears and refuse to do anything or co operate in any way whatsoever. I can't distract him or get him out of the upset and he just screams and screams and seems so angry. I feel useless not being able to do anything to calm him down. Is this just normal behaviour?
