Handling misbehaviour

[bright sparks]

For a 2yr old (as OP's child) it is legit, not acceptable but they are 2 and as much as they may know the rule they just don't have the impulse control to always wait their turn etc. But, at 4yrs old it is just sad. If they are raised to not have to follow rules and not behave socially then they are just being set up to fail in school, fail in friendships, fail at work and fail in marriage. We can hope that they just figure it out after a few years of school and seeing how others behave but having been raised to act this way only makes their life harder and the lives of all the people around them harder.

It just doesn't make sense to raise a child that way. I get it, raising kids is HARD. I have a 2yr old, she drives me up the wall. BUT I want her to be a 2yr old for 1yr not the rest of her life so I have to be the adult and set limits, set consequences and follow through. Otherwise it'll go on FOREVER!

Haha I totally missed the 2yr bit which was what, the 2nd words in the OP. Lol...sorry folks. massive brain fart!!
