He will say "no" constantly when asked to do or not to do something (one of his few words), and when he is told off he just laughs. I am worrie dhe willbecome extremely badly behaved, and I want to nip it in the bud, but am unsure what tactics to use at this age. Any advice welcome.

Dd was an absolute nightmare at that age - in retrospect (she's now 3.10) I think a lot of it was frustration at not being able to comunicate.
Once her vocab got better, so did the behaviour (a bit!)
