I don't think 2 year olds are soldiers, warriors, boxers trying to war on their parents. I'll use the Nanny's suggestions instead. I like them.<br /> <br /> The first thing they should do is to stop cussing around that boy. A two year old cussing like that?
Dang.

Mom has to be firm and consistant. <br /> <br /> I went over every time I could get free while she was up visiting. The little guy and I became close friends and I was able to teach him several words and to locate his knee, belly button, feet, ears and say the words.<br /> <br /> Everytime I walked in the door he wanted up in my arms. I wanted to keep him lol. Of course his mom said she had never seen him take to someone so quickly.<br /> <br /> I told her it was because I took control and sat a boundery for him.<br /> I sure hope she does the same. I will be sending her copies of all the comments to this blog. I hope she makes good use of them.<br /> <br /> Hugs,<br /> Sharlene<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Lauri,

That is a Child who needs some limits, time out & redirection…

She needs to establish what she wll and will not tolerate and hurting others and swearing call for a time out

if she has let him ” run wild” so to speak sure it will be hard at first but he will learn but he will test her first

I would tell her it may get worse before it gets better but that with effort and consistancy he will learn. get a timer and find a “naughty bench” and put those practices into play asap
