My 18 month old son is obviously starting to really find his own mind and finding out what he can do/doesnt want to do.
Recently this can be a number of things:
Throwing toys at Mrs FD or myself, or the dog.
Biting Mrs FD or myself (only appears to be when he gets giddy) but if you say no or move him away, he will try even harder!
When we ask him to walk with us, he will turn around and run in the opposite direction.
Whenever we need to change his nappy he will have a right paddy and we physically have to hold him down to stop poo being smeared every where.
If he does some thing wrong we will say no and try and explain what he is doing wrong. He finds this funny and will then do it again. We have tried a naughty corner but this has no effect.
He's not a bad lad, and we think he is just finding his mind/boundaries. Should we be getting worried about this being behaviour, or is it just a phase that all toddlers go through? Any ideas on how to stop some of the above would be appreciated.
Ta
It gets better, honest.
otherwise its just another phase, which we kind of thought it was, but you have that doubt that its yourselves being bad parents.
My 3yr old does the bottom lip thing, how do they know to do that?
