Unruley Child

I must say I am very sad and a little angry after reading the responses from other moms about unruley children. I can not believe that you all seem to blame the parents. My son is 19 months old and is a terror. He can be loving, kind and very sweet but he also has a horrible temper, hits himself when frusturated and mad, has started hitting others and so on. My husband and I are very good, loving and consistent parents. I can honestly say I believe we have done everything we could to be the best parents possible. We have started taking our son to behavior specialists and they think he could possibly have a form of autism. Please other moms out there do not blame yoursleves!!!!!! Yes some children that act out are because of poor parenting skills but some are not. Search your heart and ask your doctor!!!

Usually unruley children are horrible because of their parents parenting style or lack of. Is mom and dad consistant? Some parents act consistant and discipline but the minute noone's around things change. I would say if they have truely tried everything especially what's shown on like nanny 911 and stuff and have been consistant it's time to see a behavioral therapist or their pediatrician.

I agree that children can be unruly due to inconsistant parenting, BUT at 2 years old, sometimes it's because they are just that TWO YEARS OLD. We are always consistent with our daughter when it comes to disapline, but from 2-3 we went through many stages where her behavior was very naughty and we were getting bad reports from daycare all the time. It is very stressful when you can't figure out why your child is acting up despite your best efforts. That being said, is your daycare provider consistent with disipline with the other children as well as hers? If not, be leary of what your child may be observing and learning.
As for advice, a couple books I found really helpful while going through our terrible twos: The Supernanny book is great and another book called "Darn Good Parenting" is also great. Both are very easly read and can be read cover-to-cover or used as a reference. Both gave our family lots of insight to a toddler's world. Also, 7 kids seems like a lot for one person to handle. Does she have help?

I would suggest she watch the Super Nanny and those shows, I do all the time, and it teaches me alot.
I am sure she can also educate her self by taking parenting classes, usually somewhere in the area offers evening classes.
Going online or to the libray, ect.
I think it takes a parenting style change as well. Both the parents and the child's behaviors have to change to see change.

Two year olds are especially difficult. Nope, no advice. She will have to devote more time to him at this stage which sounds like she is already spread pretty thin. You will find out soon enough yourself, they are pain at that age. It gets better by 3.
