3 years old now hitting the terrible twos

Our Connor has just recently hit the terrible twos, but he will be 3 on the
27th. He is a good little boy, but always very curious.

He has started to become beligerant. Examples:
Not stopping when someone tells him to (running away)
Not coming back when someone asks him to
Sassing, when he does say thank you sometimes it is not in the best tone of
voice
Hitting things (the cat, although I must admit she is a prickly thing and
she is not as innocent as she lets on)

Any ideas?

I know it's not "politically correct" these days, but have you tried a swat
on his bottom?

I think the biggest reason this country is going to "hell in a hand basket"
is because kids have no fear of an old fashioned spanking anymore. They know
that if you spank them they can run to the authorities and complain and
you'll get into trouble for child abuse! A simple spanking is not child
abuse. It's parental control!! I don't need a villiage to raise my kids, I
spank! And they listen! And they have respect for MY authority!!

answer on how to control some of hte more unrly children without
a calming butt slap or two.

That is what has CAUSED them to be in suxh trouble.

Old fashioned is what caused the 19th century to have 15 TIMES the
murder rate we have today!

"Calming"??? Your sick delusion.

You were beaten, and so you feel that you just HAVE to beat somebody,
or else you won't have "graduated" to adulthood. To you, adults are
people who get to hit children. You feel like it was PROMISED to
you back when YOU were beaten. That's sick.

Children who are hit become cruel themselves.

You don't even grasp the depth of your sickness.

It's all you've ever known, so you think it's NORMAL! It's NOT!

Go ask a REAL psychologist, instead of one that most psychologists
disrespect.

Verbal aggresion in defense of children's rights.
You're invited to make the distinction.
