2 Year Old Won't Stop Saying NO!

My 2.5 year old son will NOT stop telling us No all of the time. I have put him in time out for saying No, and he gets on his bed, and says No again and gets off. I put him back on again and again and he still says No. What type of punishment for this type of disrespect is appropriate? Do I wash his mouth out with soap? Ignoring it does not work, he just says it louder. After several responses - let me clarify this situation with some more examples. He not only says No to everything, he yells no at me when I ask him to do something,...

Flying with a 17 Month Old.....

Hi Moms, We are flying out next week to go to GA for Easter..

Just Informed My Son Is "Hyperactive" or "High Energy"

I just attended my son's kindergarten parent/teacher conference. He is 5, almost 6 years old. Only a few minutes into the meeting, his teacher mentioned he was "hyperactive". During the rest of the meeting, she used the term "high energy". Academically, he is right where he should be. I have always known my son is very active, he plays hard. There are also alot of times when he is content to play with his action figures in his room or out back for long periods of time. He can make leaves and even Halloween candy "action figures" and...
