yeah it seems like they haven't had any kind of discipline in the past... don't you wish you could get a little remote and just turn them off for a while?! if they disbehave when they are together, maybe you can try to keep them seperated.. maybe try to get them to play with the other children.. i've never had kids, but i have babysat so i knooow how bad kids can be. sorry i couldn't help more!  |

That's about all you can do Toodles is what you have been doing. Two year olds are the testiest creatures and make you want to pull every strand of your own hair out when they act up. But then, when they want to cuddle, it makes you feel like a heel for even thinking the two year old is really satans spawn. LOL. Hang in there. (Two year olds are the best form of birth control for teenagers.)  |

Distraction. My son was pretty much the same way. Had his own way and there wasn't anything you could do to make him listen. When he started up, I found that either asking him what he would do if he were me or finding a bucket of legos(or other game)would work wonders. He didn't like the former because it would make him feel bad. The latter would give him a graceful way to wiggle out of a difficult situation. Pookie Love |

wow. this sounds like my son. lol. he started at 2 and never stopped. well, i worked at a daycare for many years and we did have children like this.unfortunatly, there really isn't too much you can do. i use to sit the child in time out and then i sat with them to make sure they didn't get up and run around. (they liked to do that. lol) and i always talked to them. i noticed when you yell, it makes them behave even worse. maybe talk to the parents too and see if they have any ideas on how they get them to behave. that can really help sometimes. i wish you the best. i have been there and i know it is frustrating. i hope it gets better.  |

A family friend does this and she puts on country music and lets the kids dance and sing to it. They have a great time and she gets them all under control. Try doing playdoh or something. Do things that kids like to do, take them to the park and run around and just let them be them.  |

I can remember different people saying to me that its the terrible two syndrome, then someone else said the 3's, and the 4's and the 5's lol!!!yes, its not easy, when there are other children to consider for you as well, but sounds to me like they need a bit more attention than the others, I mean I could be wrong, but when I have come up against this, I've sat them down and read a story to them and let them tell me what they think might happen next...I know 2yrs is young, but you would be surprised just how intelligent these unruly ones can be...good luck Toodles...Zema  |

Accent the positive! Look to see what motivates them to be good and then work from there. *hugs* Love,  |
