How can I stop my 2 1/2 year from being so aggressive? He hits, bites, and throws toys. ughhhhh help!!?

Postive reinforcement. Proven to work. Takes time to get used to. Whenever he exhibits calm behavior, praise him. Give him a reward, attention, whatever works for your situation. When he displays aggresive behavior, ignore. No attention, no reward. (He may be doing this for attention?)\n\nConsistency is key and all family members should participate.

get a better bit! it seems like he's just running through it, if you get a better one, he should stop that.  and when you pull back do it with every other hand instead of both, that should help some too./ good luck!

He sure sounds like a spoiled brat to me. Have brother with the same problem.  Well, 1 thing is for sure: cuddling him like a baby will only reinforce his present behavior.  Forgive me for saying this but his attitude reflects the way he was being brought up.  You might want to explore a different approach than the 1 you guys are used to...probably a firmer approach? you can't be wishy-washy about your decision 'coz he won't take you seriously.  Be harsh if you have to be harsh...if you really love him, find the courage to hurt him for his own good. you can't be there for him forever...if you ask me, son or not at his age he should stop living a parasitic life and should be kicked out of the house. good luck.

First, I'd talk to his pediatrician and/or see a neurologist (I'm sure he's had one in the past with this sort of problem).  Second, ask the doctor (or look into it yourself) about enrolling him in sometype of therapy-- I'm not sure what type would be appropriate- in addition to typical therapy (emotional type- to help him find better coping strategies)also maybe you could enroll him in something like physical therapy or occupational therapy-- where at least they could maybe fit him with some type of helmet or device or install something on the walls to protect him.  Not sure if you live in an area where this is available or how affordable an option it is (I'm from a small town where these things just don't exist) but I would strongly recommend seeing the doctors and considering some sort of therapy.  I truly wish you and your child the best of luck.

how long has it been going on?.....usually if you "dont do anything" it gets old and he'll back off and move on to someone with a reaction...but im afraid if you do punch him, that will give him more of a reason to never back off. If you have to do it, Iunderstand you need to take a stand try and do it infront of administrators so it cant go too far, their job is to bring down violence.....but remeber for someone to abuse someone else by picking on them it is because they feel inadequate and need to feel better about themselves. He must have serious mental problems and insecurity.

Or if it is getting worse aet an adult like ur mom or pop or who ever you live with so they can give hi dissplanary action riight away!

Once the habit has formed, it's really difficult to break.  So, just try confronting him every time you see it to find out if he'll try to stop.

EXERCISE. Run him until he DROPS at least 3 days a week...he'll calm down. \n\nGood Luck

Don't be too strict...don't let them run with the ball...but if they lift there pivit foot once don't sweat it...Let them touch each other but don't let them intentionally do it...if something is questionable let it slide...At that age the kids are just now learning the game...and calling every little thing won't help anything...all it'll do is make it a stop and go game...which no one will enjoy

ROFL !!!!!!!!!!!sorry but I have raised 3 of those little tigers....... and yes a beating is a natural reaction on your part, but I do not think it would work..... it would prob make it worse......  you have a boy that is turning into a little man right before your eyes...... the hormones , mood swings the talking back are all NORMAL things..... don't let him get to you sister !!! the more you react to it the more act he will put on for you..... they have a job to do, and that job is to drive us crazy or as close to it as they can get....... write down the house rules on a board along with the punishment that goes with each rule if broke.... explain it to him in adult language, that is what he is needing, to be treated as a young adult, remember he is between worlds right now.. so tell him you will treat him as he acts...... he acts like an adult he gets treated as such....... if he acts like a child he gets treated as such...... do NOT argue or yell or show fear or anger.... they are like wild animals at this age....... ROFL, sorry again, but I just had a flash back, and it is NOT from drugs !!! take a deep breath and plane your strategy, and get Dad involved if possible... a united front is what is needed here............ a big hug and a bigger GOD BLESS

Tell him to stop. And if he doesn't stop, tell someone important with authority: like your parent, or a teacher, or anybody who can slap him around. Unless he's like 3 years old and just doesn't know the difference. Then just tell him "NO"

Teach him! be a parent. Already I can see where the problem is, you aren't dealign with him, you are having others take the reins. He needs YOU.

I don't intend to me mean, but it sounds like the issue is yours and not his.  Okay - so he isn't as affectionate, but he sounds affectionate enough.\n\nHe isn't the same guy he was years ago.  Let's face it, the testosterone levels of a 20-yr. old would kill him today.  His body just couldn't take it.\n\nLook - talk to him about it - let him know your needs.  It sounds like he will do what he can to accommodate.  However, if he really loves you and takes good care of your kid, you have it better than 90% of the rest of us.  Be happy in that.\n\nGood luck.\nC

oh my!!\n please please try this: instead of taking things away from him make him earn things.  reward him when he has good behaivor.  create a behavior system. \n\nA good example would be make a chart of the things that he would like to do or go.  And tell him he has to have good behaivor and not get into trouble at school for a specific number of day before he will be able to do that.  I can give you many more ideas if you are interested.  just email me at teddybear_1829@yahoo.com\n\nBut the one thing I can tell you is that it will never get better if you make it seem to him that you are just taking things away from him.

All kids dream of becoming major league ballplayers that is what drives them to keep going even when hurt. I f you force him out he may hold it agianst you if you dont and he injures it more he will hold that agiasnt you. NO win situation. You best bet is to cut out all leg work during practice. He can swing a bat without hurting it and he can take ground balls if hit right at him this will keep his timing and reaction time up to speed. Wrap the ankel and heat and stretch at night. Best of luck..
