I am a stay at home mother of 2 (Frankie 2yrs. & Celia 4mos.)
I am having major problems with my 2 year old. He cannnot get along with other children. When other kids come over to our house he immediately panics. He hoards his toys, and screams and cries uncontrollably if they touch anything! I have tried everything I can think of to get him to share, and get along, but with no luck at all. I have tried completely ignoring his tantrums, I have tried postive reinforcement when he isn't screaming, removing him the situation, removing the toy fom the situation, removing the toys that he is more attached to or sensative about prior to having other chidren come over, even 123 Magic timing him out, and Fast Food rule. His tantrums will not die down on their own, when we have tried ignoring them all together, he will just keep screaming and crying nonstop for hours. i am at a total loss here!! we only have one car that my husband taes to work everyday so i feel totally isolated because we can't have anyone over to play.
I would be very grateful for ANY ideas or suggestions!!!
