How to get a 2 year old to listen?

Question

My son is almost 2 and has suddenly gotten naughtier haha. My main problem is when we go places he insists on going a different direction then me, if I tell him we can’t go that way he drops to the ground. If I pick him up he starts screaming 😑.  Also he fights getting into the cart seat at the store. Any advice would be great

Answer

Just gotta tough it out. I'm knee deep in it too so when my daughter drops I pick her up and sling her over my shoulder and carry her like a sack of potatoes back to the car. And I use the stroller a lot for longer errands cuz shes terrible at holding hands walking.

Answer

It passes. They really don’t understand a lot at that age. We told our daughter that makes mommy said or that makes mommy happy and it seemed to help. We now use a timeout chair and it is like the worse form of torture for her. We only make her sit in it for 30 seconds but you think we killed her dog 😂
