[quote=Anonymous]Op, I’m sorry this sounds incredibly hard. This also isn’t typical, so there is likely something going on here so punishment is unlikely to help, it could make it worse. I can understand how you feel at the end of your rope.

Instead of punishment I would strongly consider finding a therapist who does PCIT - parent child interaction therapy. Therapists actually watch you through a window and coach you through ear buds using specific techniques. They do use techniques like time outs in certain situations. They may be able to give you insight into what is going on and support to respond in consistent, helpful ways that help you feel empowered. It is specifically geared towards younger kids, including 2 year olds.

Sending good vibes, it is very hard to have a child whose needs are beyond some other kids (I have one too! Though different and he is older so we now know what is going on) and can feel so isolating. I don’t recommend using punishment but getting some professional tools. [/quote]
