hi, you can reply in Hebrew ; I'll understand/ My son is two years old ("terrible two" age and just started to talk. On everything - he says' Dont want"; he is very stubborn and when I tell him not to do something - he, of course, runs to do it) I dont know what to do because he is very wild and when I tell him, for one, not to take something - he takes it etc. I know he is checking borders, but what is the best way to educate him?thanks also - he sometimes just hits another kid in the park for no reason. i think he wants to play or to get attention - but i dont know why he acts in such a way. he is a very cute and good-hearted kid, btw.

hi As you wrote - children checks the borders all the time. You (you and your husband) have to give him the same limits. The limits should be constant and simple. Punishment like "time out" for a few minutes (max 2 minutes) is ok Don't lose your temper and be patient Good luck
