my 2yr old son is out of control, and wont listen to me at a

he screams and cries and throws fits.. banging his head against anything he can.. if I tell him no he cant do something or have something, he goes crazy.. when we are outside, he runs in the street, and wont even stop when i call his name or anything.. ive tried time out and all that but he just doesnt care.. i took him to the doctors, and they said this is normal, its the terriable twos.

Ugh! Sounds just like my son at that age. It's really hard, you have to be super vigilent around the streets. My son ran out in front of school busses and everything right up to the age of 7. Thank goodness for hair dye. It is normal and he should outgrow it but be prepared for problems at school and a diagnosis of ADHD at some point in his future.

well im not a parent but i have an idea maybe you should make a reward chart and every day he is good he gets a smiley face and every day hes bad he gets a sad face and at the end of the week if he was good most of the week he gets a prize

Totally normal. However, don't sit back and take that type of behavior! I'm not going to say to hurt your child. But it worked on me growing up. NEVER ABUSE YOUR CHILD. But a spanking always helps.

He's fine, he's 2. Its exactly how my nephew is, he'll grow out of it.

it is normal and he's doing it for attention. My son would fall back and bang his head on the floor. The dr said he wouldn't do it hard enough to hurt himself and to ignore it or else you are just giving him attention and he will keep doing it. copyright pregnancy question and answers,Other-Business&Finance

The running accross the street has to stop though. I will tell you that if it happens again, he instantly has to go to a time out or you will have to not go wherever you were intending to take him. Maybe he will think twice about running away from you. If you are going to a store and he runs away, leave your stuff and leave the store. Or maybe make him wear one of those leashes. I know that's horrible but it's better to have him safe than to let him run infront of a car. Besides, I bet you he hates to be tied to you like that when you're out and maybe that itself would improve his behavior and the running away from you. Also, take a way his favorite toy for a day when he runs away from you. Something has to work.

Honestly, time outs won't work, because he's a 2 year old and has no attention span yet. But please listen to me, under no circumstances do you abuse your child in ANY way, verbally or physically, but there's a specific part on the body made for spanking (spanking doesn't hurt your child, it just gets their attention and show them consequence for their actions). You don't spank hard, just one quick little swat on the backside basically, but spanking is the ONLY way that gets through to a child his age throwing fits. Also, make sure you NEVER scream back at him, screaming makes things worse. You warn him that you will spank him, and if he continues to throw a fit, you follow through and do it. Never do it out of anger though, try to stay as emotionless as possible while you're telling him he's going get a spanking, and then afterwards, tell him you love him and make sure he knows you're not mad. I'm not trying to sound like a child abuser, I would NEVER hurt a child, but you're only hurting him in the long run if you don't discipline him properly at this age.

I highly recommend this book:

Parenting Young Children: Systematic Training for Effective Parenting (STEP) of Children Under Six

You can find it at amazon.com for under $12.00. It is set up like a workbook, easy to read and not very long.

I would take measures to ensure his safety. Hold him when he throws a fit so that he doesn't hurt himself. Get one of those child harness and leash things so that he can't run away from you when you are outside.
