How are you dealing with the attitude( if at all)!

Terrible twos are REAL 😞 if he isn’t listening and throwing him self on the floor or hitting I always redirect and let him know that this is not okay and I walk him to time out. Time out is the best discipline with out physical touch. I put him in the area with no toys no tv. And tell him he has to stay here and calm down. After about 10 min I ask him are you okay? You want to come hang out now that you’re feeling better? Usually he wants a hug and a kiss from me which I always provide so he knows that I love him but hitting and screaming is not okay.
I will spank with a spoon lightly on his bum and have him go into timeout for 1-3min. I will then talk to him about the situation and why he is in trouble and I will hug him and tell him I love him and I will have him say sorry (you can tell right after this he feels good about himself and he feels the love) then he won’t do it again. But consistency with it is key for us. Gentle parenting doesn’t work for us. He learns quick though with this method. I refuse to have a kid who rules over me lol
You don’t need to do anything about the attitude! 😊 I would encourage you to keep enforcing your boundaries- “no you can’t hit” “no you can’t let go of my hand”, and he can be as upset about it as he wants. Some kids like to be alone when they’re mad, too. I would just ask him if he wants to be alone and if he says yes say “mama is here if you want a hug! It’s okay to be mad.” You’re not letting him do whatever he wants but tantrums and feelings should be allowed.
