I find it definitely more of challenge having two children out together, on their own they can be like completely different children!! Its when they are together they seem to spur on another on to be more and more over excited.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11079487.post-37487032482806213712009-02-16T01:37:00.000+05:302009-02-16T01:37:00.000+05:30Hi Archana,My son is two now and drives me nuts so...Hi Archana,<BR/><BR/>My son is two now and drives me nuts sometimes. Even a simple thing like getting into the car seat is a daily battle. Especially at the end of the day when I am especially drained, I just lose it sometimes and yell at him, but I end up feeling bad when I look at his small face.<BR/><BR/>So I usually try distracting him, I keep a few toys and books he hasnt seen for a while and it works most of the times. I know that Vishnu needs constant activity, he gets bored and starts acting up if he is not engaged. (Psst I tried TV and it doesnt work. He just wont watch for more than 15 min on his own.There's no point if I have to sit with hime to watch. So, I stopped pushing him. Thats my guilty secret). Anyway since your boys are older, feel free to pass on a few tips for the terrible twos.<BR/>I am glad I found this bolg, we can keep in touch now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11079487.post-41132095867103572502009-02-11T09:59:00.000+05:302009-02-11T09:59:00.000+05:30Hi Archana - just visited your blog...quite intens...Hi Archana - just visited your blog...quite intense! But what you go through with two is almost the same with one, just that i think the embarassment is double..:) One thing that we do is warning him of bad behaviour in public places. Ground rules help before even stepping out of the house. I haven't read books on parenting - don't think its rocket science...a little bit of patience and remembering how we were as a kids helps in calming down - not to say that I am saint :DBinduhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08632911473165922681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11079487.post-345353506530246072009-02-10T09:50:00.000+05:302009-02-10T09:50:00.000+05:30hai... have u tried time out? though the mod...hai...<BR/> <BR/> have u tried time out? though the modern parenting wont call for punishments i think it is a part of the deal . i have 2 kids just one yr apart. for them time out works pretty well even then they are not ready to obey a pinch will do..<BR/> good luck..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11079487.post-19758594421160869032009-02-08T22:36:00.000+05:302009-02-08T22:36:00.000+05:30Hi Vibaas, i completely agree with you and yes hav...Hi Vibaas, i completely agree with you and yes have read it all, have all the books and just like you have thought about ADHD as well, not they dont. I also agree that they are way intelligent than we can imagine them to be. Yes really as you said, it does feel good to understand they will be a gift to the world :), but really, what do I do now. I guess just let them be? And take a back seat! Yea? Tell me what you have tried, would love to hearArchana Doshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04047113897180886966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11079487.post-107817004488424232009-02-08T22:31:00.000+05:302009-02-08T22:31:00.000+05:30Hi Archana, First time in this blog.

I haven't read all your posts yet and maybe you have tried it already, but thought of suggesting the book Happiest toddler in the block. Also, askdrsears.com has some good suggestions to deal with high need children. I understand that they can drain us, but the they are usually very intelligent :) <BR/><BR/>I read a lot about intense children and at one point i even thought my first kid had ADHD, but then i found that gifted children are usually very intense too and lot of the charecteristics of a gifted children suited my son and reading that information gave me some peace.Vibaashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12278725373647376675noreply@blogger.com
