[quote=jjconcern]It does sound like your 2 year old has a completely different temperament than your 4 yr old which has been evident from birth.  You described him as fussy from the beginning.  He does sound like he gets frustrated easily and takes his anger or frustration out on others.  The good news is that his child caregiver is not alarmed by his behavior or his pediatrician.  He may need more boundaries and help in containing his anger.  You don't want him get in the habit of hitting others when he is angry.  Time outs are usually effective if you enforce them in a patient manner.  Does he like to be physically active?  Another suggestion was more alone time with him on the part of you or your husband. He may be naturally competitive and see how easy it is for his older brother to do activities when he himself is struggling.  Speech therapy is another option if needed as it is one on one time with an interested person and could be of help in limiting the amount of frustration he is feeling regarding expressing himself.  If he continues to get worse with time and in other settings besides home, I would consult again with his pediatrician.  My best to you.[/quote]
