Hi guys, trust you're doing well. Pls I need ur advice. My 18 months old son is always proving stubborn in recent weeks.

1. When he's angry only God can pet him
2. Now he selects the clothes he wishes to wear(Latest trend) same as food
3. He can cry for Africa if all he wanted are not provided or obeyed. In short he's a chairman
Just to mention few...

Wanna ask if it's normal or there's a way to correct him.

When he's angry only God can pet him

You injure for hand?

He is throwing tantrum you mean,you better curtail it before it gets out of hand.

Modified: I just checked your profile, naa bbnaija thread you dey open up and down. No wonder..

Another spit on your skull again

Tueh!!

I do not think there's any cause for alarm.. He's just being a big baby lol.. Trying to let y'all know that he's a big boy now and as such can make decisions of his own..

He'll always need your parental guidance & support so don't let him have his way aallll the time, put your feet down & caution him when the need arises.. If he gets angry, tease him, make funny faces, if he likes music, play some and dance, get him a ball & show him some football moves, just anything fascinating, he'll brighten up in no time.. He can't always have his way but cheer him up whenever he does the right thing, show him, teach him, learn with him.. Good luck!

This one is just trying to humblebrag to us that he has a son.

Beat am small wen he misbehaves,but don't beat him till he starts to fear you and become a weakling,a man is suppose to have a bit of stubborness in him.I get strong head,i wouldn't expect less from my boy likewise.

It's a phase. It's called the Terrible Twos. It begins somewhere between 18 months and it is very normal. Google the Terrible Twos and you will get a lot of websites with useful tips on how to best handle your child at this stage.

These babies like selecting clothes, not that they even have sense of fashion yet. That's the only one I tend to permit.

As for the others you should know what to do.

Proverbs 22:15 A child’s heart has a tendency to do wrong, but the rod/bulala of discipline removes it far away from him.

Proverbs 29:15 A rod/bulala and reproof impart wisdom, but a child who is unrestrained brings shame to his mother.


Don't wait till he brings shame to his mother
Shine ya eyes

Time to introduce koboko be that. . His size. Whip his bombom any time he gets grumpy and obstinate.

Don't try to spare him from this early age otherwise when he grows up, he'll be too hard to crack as it will be too difficult to correct and control him then..

Start now!

He's a toddler ― these behaviors are not atypical but common with toddlers. You can correct and discipline him without resorting to beating him.

Is he your 1st?

Does he have the chance for healthy interactions with other children in his age bracket or pets? Try it and see if he gets better, it helps build social behaviours

He needs discipline; more of strong arm than soft. You have obviously been indulging him for long and allowing all the nonsense and now he feels he can do what he wants. Start disciplining him before he becomes to much for you to handle.

What is he angry about that he needs petting for? You need to make him know that it is not ok to get angry and throw tantrums. I had to get a beautiful cane for my daughter

My daughter also wants to pick her clothes and food. I let her know that I am in charge, and she can cry if she has to. Though sometimes, I allow her pick by herself.

When she wanted to start crying over everything, I would send her to her bed and tell her to come back when she's ready to talk rather than crying. We didn't respond to crying and she had to stop it.

You need to set rules and limits for these kids, or else they will grow up and be a big burden to you and others.

Michelle55:
Let's assume there's no social media where you can bring your family problems to, what would you have done to curtail the situation sir?
Easy with all this clamour to be heard or seen on SM, no be so life dey oh.

Our parents did their best to raise us right and God did the rest without the use of SM, why can't you do same with your kid?
The struggle to garner likes and cheap mention is real, na why I run leave Facebook for una oh. Now una want make person leave Nairaland all because you guys can't sort some issues privately.

I taya o

Heh. Odiegwu

In most cases, they never stop their crying, even when you pet them (which is very annoying) until you spank them.
How does one handle such without spanking?
Bad behavior in children should not be ignored, otherwise, it gets out of hand.

So you are waiting for NLanders to tell you that your toddler needs discipline; RIGHT? You had to bring this matter to NL to ask what you need to do with your toddler? . Common; you already know what to do but you just don’t want to do it. Since you want Nlanders to tell you what to do, I WILL; WHICH IS; YOUR TODDLER NEEDS A LITTLE DISCIPLINE AND WHILST YOU ARE AT IT, SET BOUNDARIES AND IF THE BOUNDARIES ARE BROKEN THEN I REPEAT THE GOLDEN WORD AGAIN “DISCIPLINE”.

By discipline, I don’t necessarily mean using the cane as there are other ways in which you can discipline a toddler other than using the cane.

It’s now obvious that you have allowed your toddler to run-rings around you and that is because you neither set-boundaries nor provided adequate discipline; hence, you get this result of your toddler wanting to have things done their way all the time.

Never think that at your toddler’s age he doesn’t know what he is doing; WRONG; he does know what he is doing. As a result of your tolerating your toddlers’ misbehaviour/s, it is becoming very clear to your toddler that he can get away with any NANSENSE BEHAVIOUR THAT HE DISPLAY/S WITHOUT ANY CONSEQUENCES WHATSOEVER.

If you don’t tackle this misbehaviour NOW, it will get to a stage where it’ll be too late for any correction to be done as you missed the stage where his bad behaviour/s SHOULD have been corrected but you FAILED TO DO SO.

Get your head out of the sand and give the necessary discipline to your toddler so that they know that bad behaviour/s will not be tolerated.

PS: Take time to go through what @lmaIma1 has written and take a cue from their comment

Someone has already introduced to you the terrible twos...stop being unreasonable....

Well that is terrible twos in child development, your son is transitioning!.

The beauty from that cane aligned her.

Na talk be this one? This is how people grow to become nuisance to society.

Proverbs 22:15
Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of correction will drive it far from him.

So beating is the best option? The way y'all reason is just myopic.
