Aren't you the one that posted pictures of your kids after they beat each other up?

If you couldn't control older kids with reasoning skills, why would anyone believe you could control a two year old?

Eh, he's already over it.

Maybe he'll think twice about trying to hit me as I'm trying to put him in the bathtub.

That must be all the rage. Mine likes to smack Mommy whenever she tells him no. There are some things I'm lenient (sp) on but hitting is not one of them.

Sounds like you're doing all the right things to me. When our little "angel", yeah right, did this we removed her from the store asap. If I couldn't do that - because shopping alone - I ignored her completely. She would go balistic.

What worked for us was to leave and ignore. I'd tell her good little girls don't act that way, I don't want to talk to you until you can be nice then silence. She would SCREAM all the way home. I'd not say a word, turn up the radio-it was hard but it worked. At home I would put her in her bed and tell her I didn't want to talk to or see her until she could be nice. 9-out of-10 she'd fall asleep and be a happy child when she got up!!

When she got a little older I started the 1-2-3 thing and at 3 straight to the room. She can play/sleep/watch tv I don't care, she has to be in there 15min. She hates this and it still works at 8. What really gets her is if I totally shut down and don't speak to her, if she can't get a rise out of me she folds.

...that's no kind of message to send a developing child. I'd of at least had ice cream cones in the tub as well.

When I see a little shiat giving his/her momma a hard time in the store, I like to make eye contact and give him/her the evil-mommy eyeball look. It's especially funny to watch their face when they aren't used to getting the look from their mommy yet they seem to instinctively know what the look means.
