    Why won't he stop crying?
    My son is two next week and until a couple of weeks ago was perfectly well behaved and then he has suddenly changed. He won't go to bed, he just stands in his cot and screams, I have tried going to him and trying to soothe him and then leaving the room but he continues to scream. It is now a challenge to get him into the carseat whilst trying to avoid being kicked, He throws a tatrum whilst in the supermarket, If he is told off for any reason he just bursts in to tears. I am at my wits end as I can't understand his change in behaviour and I don't know what to do. His doctor has said there is nothing physically wrong with him. Any thoughts would be gratefully appreciated...

    Could he have experienced or seen a traumatic event that you are not aware of?
    Or it could be"just kids", Terrible Two's. It was given a name for a reason. Good Luck,
    Don't let the tears get you. I think some of them are great actors. Hang in there.
    Don't give in to the crying, and don't let them see you laugh.
    They are learning what works. Hey, he will be three soon. Day care helps.
    Good Luck/Take Care

    It could be any of those things. Is he always with you. Has he been with some one or someplace away from you. Find out if he has seen or experienced something out of the ordinary.
    And it could be terrible twos. I don't know, my daughter never went through that. She never went to day care either, was home with me until she went to school. But if there is nothing wrong, then just don't give in to the tantrums. You are the parent, the adult. You always have the control

    Welcome to the Terrible two's:D

    I'm sure if doctor says everything is fine, you have nothing to worry about.

    It gets better, I promise...

    Good luck.

    After three kids, including a set of twins, and two grandsons, I have experienced the terrible twos a few times. Add colic to the mix and let the fun begin.

    I believe he is trying to assert himself in the one way he knows that works.

    I agree with Homegirl, you need to maintain control, gently but firmly. Do not give in, once you do he wins, and the little buggers are much smarter than anyone gives them credit. Stay patient, keep a low voice, and, sometimes ignoring them is the best method of letting them know they are not getting to you.

    Your right AKae, it does get better, all of mine told me when they got to be about 22, hey dad, your right! Until then, jeez.

    Its just terrilble twos. If he throws a fit just let him cry it out. Eventually he'll learn that crying isn't going to get him whatever he wants
