Hi all!! A good friend of mine has a 2 1/2 year old boy who has recently become extremely aggressive around his mommy and also other kids. At the park, he has a tendency to hit other kids, even with toys. The only child he doesn't hit is my 3 1/2 year old daughter...I'm not sure why....Mommy is at her whits end and not sure what to do. She tries time-out, but he won't stay in it. Taking away toys? He isn't interested. The only thing that makes sense to me is that he won't nap. I know if my daughter misses her nap she becomes the "evil one." I've tried to tell my friend how important it is for her very energetic son to at least have an hour of quiet time in his room...but he just will not to it. Matter of fact, she has asked me to do some research for her as she can't leave him alone for 2 seconds for fear of destruction in her house. WOW!!! Any advice ladies?? Thanks in advance...

Mon, April 28, 2008 - 5:21 PMMy son was very spirited in a similar way, until he turned three. I tried everything under the sun it felt like. I would just say wait it out! Some of 'em really go through the terriffic twos. Also, I would remind her that some kids go thru this phase at two. It is nothing she is doing that is making him behave this way. He will grow out of it if he is demonstrated clear boundaries and good communication.
