Why does my 23 month old toddler does not want to behave himself?

Why does my 23 month old toddler does not want to behave himself outside even though we explain him that we are going to the doctor and he should not scream or run there?but he wants to touch everything like the pc or the showpiece which embarrass us!

Answer #1

I really think you should look at this another way. He’s not even two. It’s not that he doesnt WANT to behave himself. It’s just that he’s a child, with poor impulse control, and does not understand why he cant do whatever he wants to do. First, take something that will entertain him quietly. Food, snacks, stories, games, etc. He needs to be entertained. If you dont want him to get up and touch, just keep reminding him. If he behaves for 10 or 15 minutes, praise him. Reward him for being so good. If he’s quiet the entire time, treat him with something special. But absolutely, continue to teach him. This was of particular concern of my mother that I dont touch anyones stuff. So keep at it, remember that everyone knows that kids like to run around and touch so try not to be too embarrassed.

Answer #2

/sigh, if your child acts up, spank him and he will learn to associate bad deeds with pain. quite a simple logic. Entertaining him only teaches him when he does bad shit that he receives what he wants. Not to stop it. You said 23 months, so thats nearly 2 years old? if he isnt old enough to be spanked, simply dont let him out of your grasp to go run around and stuff.

Answer #3

Uh, your toddler is, simply put, being a toddler. Little kids run around, scream sometimes and do love touching things. Really, if it embarasses you (which it shouldn’t) then get a babysitter or a relative to stay with him at home while you go to the doctor’s office. If you do want to take him or need to, try holding his hand or keeping him in your lap so that he does not run off. He will mature in time and be able to fully understand what you are telling him. In the meantime, in order to develop good habits, you should keep telling him what he should or should not do and reward him when he does something correctly. Most kids are visual learners so try that approach when you want to get him to do something.
