DS is 20 months old and has, since about 17 months, been going through the terrible 2s.
He has tantrums daily, throws things about, says "no" all the time and can generally be a PITA. He is also the sweetest, loveliest little boy there is - particularly after a nice long sleep!
We were not worried about any of this and assumed it all normal, if not fun but the last couple of weeks nursery and a couple of friends have commented to us that his behaviour is perhaps a little more extreme than other kids his age. I feel quite awful about it and worried that we're doing something wrong.
His language is excellent - he speaks in short sentences and has a wide vocab so I don't think it's lack of language that frustrates him - more not getting his own way 
. When he misbehaves we try to put him down and not give him attention for a short while, I'm not sure this is working but telling him off certainly doesn't - he thinks it's funny.
Does this sound normal to you or cause for concern? I hate to think of people thinking of him as naughty 
but obviously don't want him being overly boisterous with other children and as I'm pregnant would like him to be a bit more gentle with me
Thanks if you managed to read all this!
