My twin where high matinence for years ,, its like they can pick up on our stress and frustraitions they hardy slept while i was with them , ,, , when people came over i looked like a lier also ( I think they where just destracted thats why they where ok ) .

can i suggest taking your son to the park to run arround with a ball for while to get all that energy out

Yes sometimes i find kids behaving this  waty,but  not vey often though . Its like somrthing come over them and just go for it.

i deal with by the  the next time they want a treat  ,At that age i would pack up there flouvar toys  or wouldn't aloud them to watch a show that they like . my kids soon learnt iy wasn't worth carrying on .Even today when they  carrying on like two old the same thing happens no movies or hiring games no sleep overs .I found this work for me .

I have a 23 month old son and is also high-spirited/high-need from the day he was born. He was very very alert infant so when we were out, he hardly cries - though this meant he didn't nap very well either. He absorbed anything and everything around him. He never cried 24 hrs a day, but when he did cry, he cried loudly and insistently. Now as a toddler, he is pretty much the same way. He knows instantly if something changed in the room. He is harder to put down to nap when we have visitors. But all in all, of course he is much easier now than when he was an infant.

If you think your child is high-need, I suggest visiting Dr. Sears' website http://www.askdrsears.com/search.asp. There's also a link for survival tips for parents of high-need children.

My children are the same way with other people. It seems they save it for me. One day my 4 yr old was very tired from the weekend and gave the teacher a little taste of the medicine she usually saves for me. Boy, was the teacher surprised. I think the kids know what they can get away with other people and can probably get away with more things with the parents. When my 4 yr old was out of control like that at 19 months, I'd put her in her room for quiet time. Once I even threw myself on the floor, and pretended to cry and scream like her, and said that  was not allowed. She seemed to get it from there.  I think it was at 2 or 2 1/2 that I started making her earn toys with her behavior which included no tantrums on the floor, no crying to eat, no crying to bathe, etc. That also seemed to help curb the tantrums because she knew that she was not earning stars for the item she wanted.  Good luck, it gets better.
