i am 18 years old and pregnant with my second child. I have a two year old. He wont listen to any one. he has slight hearing loss in his right hear and i am having tubes put in. I have been stressed out with being pregnant and the terrible twos. When you put him in time out, weather its a chair or his bedroom he throws a fit screaming crying and just gets back up you yell at him and he just does it again. he gets into everything when you tell him to stop he just acts like he does not hear you. when he gets yelled at he will smack him self in the arm or face? why does he do that? i took him to the phone store with me and we had to stand in line and he just started screaming and yelling throwing him self on the flooor.

I am hard of hearing myself, When I was younger I used to do the same things, The reason why I did it because some who are hard of hearing get fustrated exspecially a young child. Depending on how hard of hearing he is he might only know how to exspress his anger by throwing tantrums. Does your son talk? I myself did not fully start to talk until I was 5 years old. Sign language will help your son to communicate I don't know if this is needed or not but it is just a suggestion. However, I am not saying this is the case it could be just a little boy being a little boy. Try to sit down and talk to him, You are his mom. Try not to overstress as it is not good for you or the fetus.
