[quote=Anonymous]I have been with a new family for the past few months and have one 2 year old charge. I am no stranger to 2 year old behavior, but recently his behavior has gotten out of control. He is completely undisciplined, screams at the top of his lungs if he doesn't get what he wants, and has taken to biting me, pulling my hair, and hitting me. Within 20 minutes of arriving to work yesterday morning, he'd already pulled my hair when I picked him up to carry him inside because he'd crawled out through the doggy door into the backyard with no shoes on. Then he needed to go upstairs for a diaper change, but he didn't want to. I prompted him to come upstairs with me and let him know we could finish playing with toys when we had taken care of the task at hand, but he shrieked and threw himself on the floor. I picked him up to carry him upstairs and he repeatedly smacked me in the face.

I handle temper tantrums like that by putting him in time out, but MB was home and her solution to his behavior is to sweetly tell him to stop and ask him to say sorry (which obviously means nothing because he's just parroting the word). I'm at my wits end and feeling unsupported. If they let him get away with stuff like this when I am not around, his behavior is not going to improve. I feel like I'm coming into work every day to be hit.[/quote]
