I really need so help disciplining my just turned 2 year old boy. I can't get him to listen to me when he is naughty. When I tell him off I make sure I am firm & my voice is raised. I bend down to his level & make him look me in the eye. But he just laughs & continues to do the naughty thing he does. But when my husband does it, he is immediately sad, & acknowledges he understands, and it stops.
Today, whilst getting ready to go out & then on our return He kept hitting me & pulling my hair. I held his arms, I was at eye level & told him off. I ask him if he understands, he says, & then continued to hit me & pull my hair. It got steadily worse, so I put him in his cot for timeout, to which he climbed out & fell out off (first time this has happened).
Just talking to my mum, he has hit & pulled my mum hair too & he also laughed at her too. I have just found this out so a little mortified we didn't know at the time.
Can anyone help? Hubby work shifts so I tend to be on my own at the weekends with my son & days like today make me feel very lonely.
