Oh Josie, You've Done it Again.

lol, I suppose your right, and diverting his attention might work, maybe if I talk about one of his favorite movies, monsters inc. that could work. thanks.

Have you tried diverting his attention by pointing at something out of the window or going "hey, I just remembered something I forgot to tell you" .... or just about anything that will make him forget he's feeling cranky? It sounds too easy but it usually works with my 4 year old ! Oh and just remember, that's why they call them the terrible twos - sometimes nothing will work and you just have to wait until he grows out of it !!! ;-)

That might actually work, becasue he hates being in the car, lol, I wonder why I didn't think of that before. Thanks.

I'm not a parent either, but I babysit a three year old boy who's similar. Sometimes children can just be stubborn... but whenever Donovan (the boy I babysit) starts acting like that, I tell him that if he keeps it up he's going to have to stay in the car while I go in the store or wherever we're going. I never actually leave him in the car; I never have to and even if it did get down to that I wouldn't. But... it usually works.
