Of course, it's most likely normal testing of the boundaries and maybe a cry for attention. This can be normal in all families. However, sometimes when there is a child with an illness who needs special attention and care a sibling can act out in various ways. It really would be best to try to nip this behavior in the bud now rather than have him grow up to become a rebellious teen. I recommend the Total Transformation Program by James Lehman. It's behavior modification oriented. My husband and I are using it with our 12 year old now. Wish we'd heard about this earlier. Strong willed children can be a blessing but they must be dealt with in a way to teach them self control so they are able to grow into the strong adults people will want to work with and be around. The alternative can be devastating. I've seen some strong willed kids grow up to be so obnoxious no one wants anything to do with them as teens and adults. You can shape him at this early age and really help guide that strong personality into something beautiful. It can be done with lots of love and encouragement, which I'm sure you'll be able to provide. You can reinforce his strengths while setting boundaries and limits on the bad behavior but still loving his strong personality. <br /><br />I hope you don't see this as criticism. It isn't meant that way. I don't even know you and just read a bit of your blog so I don't know what you've tried so far. I heard about Ty last year and read some then and prayed for him whenever he came to mind. <br /><br />I've been praying for Ty and will keep it up. I pray some day he will be completely healthy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797283590776177236.post-83712903176418561992012-01-30T16:17:55.676-05:002012-01-30T16:17:55.676-05:00I think only a saint would be able to enjoy a two ...I think only a saint would be able to enjoy a two year old during episodes like this. <br /><br />Ty looks so good in that photo, like he's really enjoying the corn.

Makes me realize that I'm "normal" too. I know everybody talks about the terrible two's but they need to mention the horrible three's. Unfortunately u didn't get to experience those w/ Ty because he was so sick. Now Gavin is making up for it I guess, LOL.<br /><br />I absolutely love the picture of Ty eating corn in the cob. First, just to see him eat something so yummy nd second, to see him using his left arm. Ty, U ROCK!!! I swear I fall more nd more in love w/ u as time goes by. U r my superhero. <br /><br />All my love always,<br />Elainestellau1https://www.blogger.com/profile/11184926875323839304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797283590776177236.post-40670666733280339912012-01-30T07:05:57.982-05:002012-01-30T07:05:57.982-05:00I'm chuckling at the vision of Gavin falling l...I'm chuckling at the vision of Gavin falling limp to the floor as you cross the street (even though I know it wasn't fun for you while it was going on). Obviously this is such normal behavior for a kid his age. My little one is three and a half and I always feels like 3 years old is tougher than 2. EVERYTHING is a struggle with him, and he tests my patience constantly. So just hang in there. I feel like by 4 years old they become more reasonable :)Kerriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07936244541934770858noreply@blogger.com
