My 2 year old disobeys a lot help?
Answer:
Of course he likes to get his way, who doesn't?.. Here are a few tips to keep in mind...
Time out only works if the child has time "in", quality, fun time with you! Also, the kid must know the rules.. sit down and come up with two or three you can be sure he understands like, we hug instead of hit. That way, when he chooses to break a rule, he is not only aware of the behavior you expect but the consequences he faces if he doesnt. Consequences such as less t.v time or no special treats.
Do not respond to whining AT ALL. ANy response the kid gets is a reward. Remind the child to ask nicely instead of whining for whatever they want. Praise every non-whined sentence.
He is finding where your limits are. Just show him clearly and confidently that your limits are the same every time and eventually he will realize you mean it.
Take solace that usually the smart ones are like yours. Keeps your hands full, but oh the rewards later on. Good luck

Just be stern in your saying No to him and don't falter.
He is in the terrible stubborn 2's.
Well this is why they are called the terrible 2's. They are learning to express themselves at this age and want to be independent but yet having Mommy near by at the same time. It will get easier along the way. Stay firm with your answers and keep up with the timeouts. Good luck.
this is probably just a phase. most little kids at this age do these types of things to some degree. the best thing for you to do is to keep correcting what he is doing each time that he does it. eventually as he gets a little bit older, he will understand that what he is doing is wrong and quit doing it. that is really all that you can do right now. hope this helps. good luck.
You are just going to have to stand your ground. Right now he is just testing the boundaries and if you've let him slide in the past or you've given into him he is going to remember that. So you just need to be firm but loving, let him know that him getting his way all the time is not going to happen anymore. Choose your battles though you don't want everything to be a struggle. Also praise him for doing as you asked or for listening, this will encourage him to do it more. Kids really do love to please their parents so let him see when you are pleased and when you are not so pleased tell him why and what he needs to do instead. Patience and love, it will take time for him to see he's not in charge anymore! Good luck and God bless!
He's trying to show some independence. You should correct him, when he does something not approved of and don't give in to his whining. Don't get into an arguing match, either.
Tell him firmly, "No!", then go about your business. If he insists, then sit him on a chair and make him stay there. If he tries to get up, sit him down again. You may have to repeat this several times. Don't yell at him, just sit him back down. Same thing applies for standing in corners. It doesn't have to be for a long time, just until he realizes he's not going to get his way.
say no when he wants to do something, and then ignore him. dont giv ehim anyattention when hes throwing a tempertantraun. give him time outs or other punishments, maybe 'pop' him, to pop a child is to kind of spank but with no hurt, not hard enough to hurt,, its just meant to suprise the child.
Your child needs to know rules, limits, and boundaries. His testing these out is a way for him to grow and understand the reasons behind these guidelines and restrictions. He can learn them without being punished or rewarded, spanked or shamed. He can be given more choices in his everyday life to make him feel more powerful and independent -- even asking him what color pants he wants to wear will make him feel more in charge.
Tantrums can often be headed off by paying attention to the cues that he gives right before he would normally whine or tantrum. Respond to these signals with empathy and redirect his attention and energy.
