My 2 year son is stubborn

[nicjewels]

I'am really worry about my son, he yells, cries without any reason and loses his control. I don't know what is it

[Pink01]

It's called the terrible twos and its a stage of child development. Sometimes it's a way to express frustration because there's not yet enough ability to have verbal communication. It's frustration...

How are you disciplining him?

I am never strict with him. I always give him tender loving care. But he is getting stubborn lately, not sure why. Have I spoiled him in someway.

There are a lot of developmental changes that happen at two, which is why, as Pink mentioned, they call them the terrible 2's.

It may be of benefit to be a little less tender and a little more stern. Don't think about it too much. Children are humans, so they will elicit natural responses from you. Unless these responses are abusive or disobedient of the child's boundaries, they can be followed.

Also, two year old children are going through what is historically known as the anal phase of development. His stubbornness could be seen as a defense mechanism. Right now, the pleasure seeking part of your child wants him to just go to the bathroom when he pleases--wherever he pleases. The rule-abiding part of your child wants him to go to the bathroom in the appropriate facilities.

His emotional outbursts are a defense mechanism as they let out the aggression of the pleasure-seeking part of your child, without completely defying the rule-abiding part, either. It could also be seen as regression, meaning he is retreating to simpler developmental phases. It's completely natural.

If you say, and mean, to your child that emotional outbursts are not to be accepted, he may exclude them from his repertoire because now outbursts would be against the rules. Give him some way of releasing aggression, though.
