The will develops more strongly and the language goes right along with it. Four is better, so hang in there. One thing I have done with my two (4 and 2) is to give myself a time out in front of them when their whining makes me want to scream. When I feel the frustration level rise and my ability to find the calm voice falls away, I say, "Mommy is taking a time out for two minutes. Please don't talk to me until I'm done." I turn away from them, take a few deep breaths (hopefully find a way to not be angry/frustrated/miserable) and then turn back when I am ready to reengage. If nothing else, I feel better about this than yelling.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26433227.post-68472577550517530752007-05-22T17:25:00.000-04:002007-05-22T17:25:00.000-04:00Sorry.

No help from me as of late especially, I find myself getting very frustrated at the emotional outbursts from my son and have even caught myself yelling right back at my son.
