im not understanding why my 2 year old son is changing and wanting nothing but junk and soda i give him fruit water juices i told my husband to put the soda in the cubbard for now on and offer juice and water he always wanted his soy milk and wont touch milk at all his behavior is un controllable at times where he will drop on the floor in the street just because i want him to hold my hand. he gets up when daddy leaves for work and cries for him i feel like the bad cop good cop and now my husband is finally learning to say no where i have been strict from the start. i feel he just created a monster when i had creadted a healthy eating well behaved boy and now he is regressed how can i stop him from wanting junk and soda keep it out of the house can i reward him help

Hi there!
Your son sounds like he is in his terrible twos.
This is normal.
I'm not an expert on childrearing though. I had 3 pretty close together but was a long time ago.
I would say, yes, keep soda and junk away. Buy the healthy things you mentioned. When I was raising mine, we only had money for basic good health, no money for junk. So mine were kind of lucky. They'd get things for treats on very special occasions.
But things are easier for young people starting out now, perhaps. Although I don't know that.
It just happened that me and my husband got married at 18.
So good luck with your baby.
There are several on here with little 2 year olds. I think they will be glad to help you.
Try to enjoy that little boy. They grow up and are gone so quickly. My boy is now 56. He is 6 ft. tall.
I sure feel for you. We love em so much. But it is hard work.
Blessings!

Take heart. They go thru stages. You worry about these things then and there but they change into a different creature again soon. It'll pass, don't worry about it so much. Do the right thing for you, you know what it is in your heart. It'll pass. Just love him and enjoy him.

Don't get so caught up in his world. He is a child. You are the parent. You are the grown-up. Im not saying hes insignificant. But girl my friend use to say to me you are too caught up in the world you are losing track of the big picture. He needs to eat right, Im sorry build a bridge and get over. And beieve me at his age you know theres a thin line between love, tantrums, kisses, hugs you name it. stay above it and take it at face value.

Stepanie I read your blog and I can relate in A way. I have stuggled with this for 6 years I have 3 kids 1 I wasnt able to raise I was so down My mother took her I thought she would be better off, I did not think I was ever going to get better. Now that I have the program I have not had A panic attack in weeks. It hurts me so bad to know that I cant get her back even though I AM getting better now. She is so crasy over my mom. To her that is her mother, I could not take her because it would kill my mom!!! So I am working really hard on dealing with that. I am A good person and I have A big heart, I just never could find the help or understanding that I have finally found in the program. So what session are U on? I am on session 4. and to be honest it is harder than I thought especially with 2 babys to chase after.But I am doing it, my husband is great he is a wonderful person he has always been there for me even when he didnt know what was wrong with me!!U are the first person I have talked to on here. I saw that you were A mom so it was nice to have another parent to talk to. if you get A chace write back, By the way my kids are 1 3 4 yrs old. 2 girls and one boy!! They are wonderful mean kids.LOL! So how old are your sons? I prey every day for the safety and health of my babys and that they never have to deal with any of this, and that I have not passed any of this on to theme!!! Well I better go I hear Mommy! Mommy!! hope to hear from you, God bless U and your familly!!
