How to control a 2 1/2 yr old boy when he becomes wild because company is visiting!?

We have a 2 1/2 yr old foster son. He is great usually but when family or company comes over he just becomes wild! He jumps on the furniture, runs thru house,etc. I tell him he needs to settle down, walk not run, play with a specific toy, watch a video, or sit and talk with us, but two seconds later he is doing it all over again. Any suggestions from other veteran toddler parents?? Thanks!How to control a 2 1/2 yr old boy when he becomes wild because company is visiting!?
Get him into a routine where he is blowing off steam every day - walk in park, sports, etc - and arrange your company visits so that they come after the boy has been at the park and is nodding off.





The other aspect of it is to develop a reward system for him -applicable not only to others' visits but generally - that supports your desire for him to behave himself.How to control a 2 1/2 yr old boy when he becomes wild because company is visiting!?
overexcitement . . oh the joy . . . you can offer rewards for good behavior . . . nothing expensive tho to confuse him . . . however, he is toddler - they can't sit still for long . . . try having ';visitor toys'; that only come out when you have company and when company leaves, they get put back until next time . . .
You need to let him now what he is doing is unacceptable. You need to be consistant. Eventually, he will stop doing this.
crank him up about 30 to 40 min prior to arrival... lots of sugar and fun activities... ie wear him out so he can relax....





i here praying helps... but it never worked for me
he is just showing off. punish him.
I find it a bit odd that you mentioned that he was a foster child. Any reason you had to put that information in? Do you think that if he was your birth son would you mention that he was your birth son? Eitherway I think that is Wonderful that you have taken in a foster child. There should be more people like you out there.





As farf as him running around and acting out of control when company comes over. He is 2 1/2 years old. He is just acting his age and being a regular toddler. You should just let him be and try to relax but that is ofcourse if he isn't acting like a pscyho path..and embarrassing the crap outta you..lol.





You have to understand that he sees' the company and/or family and he notices that you are probably showing the visitors in your home more attention that you normally would him.





If it is really soo bad that you cannot control him. I would have him not take a nap on the days that you know that company is coming over so he can go to sleep earlier than normal.





Maybe if you also know someone that can bring another child around his age over the same night as your company that might help.





this type of attention that my almost 3 year wants when company comes over knows that it isn't acceptable any other time especially when their are visitors and straight to a time out he will go.





if you want to talk more in emails you can email me.


I do have to say I wasn't trying to be rude and I hope my lil bit of advice as a fellow vet toddler parent.
Hi! I have fostered ten very youg children in the past few years. He seems to be wanting attention and ';company'; is taking it away from him. Try putting him at the kitchen table (in a highchair) with a coloring book and crayons, and a snack while the grown-ups visit. Also a cup of crushed ice will entertain him for awhile. You can also put him in his room or bed for ';time-out'; and tell him if he can't behave he will be staying in his bed/room. Play Dough also is fun while he sits in a highchair. You can also let him on your lap, and take turns with other adults in holding him. If you insist on it, (holding him) trust me, he will want to go play.
prep him first, tell him company's coming and what you expect of him. then ENFORCE DISCIPLINE! whatever your method is, ENFORCE IT, ENFORCE IT, ENFORCE IT. ignore his outbursts. as long as he gets attention, he'll be acting out that way.
kids of that age (and dogs too!) often get overexcited when new people come to visit but also usually calm down eventually.





why not have a specific room or area where he can express this safely? this may be more feasible than insisting that he just chills out immediately?
he's trying to get everyone's attention. try to include him in whats going on with them company. or he may think he gcan get away with murder and you won't do anything because of the company.
give him a time out. if he is not familair with this, you can teach him. ignore the distracting behavior, or have a sitter or a trusted friend help you with him when you have company. trust me, he is doing this for attention. toddlers love attention, negative or positive
It sounds like he is showing off for attention. You said he is a foster child. Was he neglected before you got him? It sounds like he just needs attention.


My 4 year old son acts a lot like him, and that is what I've noticed. He just needs a lot of individual attention. He is the middle child and I think that affects him. So, I've been trying to spend special time just with him, and it seems to have helped.
He is testing you to see if rules still apply when there is company. Follow through with the same punishment he receives when there isn't company. Let him know there is no excuse just because company is there. I tell my five year old and my two year old that wherever we are there is a time out spot and they don't get to act that way if we are out or we go to someone else's house. He is seeking attention, so reward him to acknowledge him and praise him in front of company for acting good.

Whats that toy company that sell remote control airplanes called raider tech?

Air Hogs make a line called Raider RC Airplanes, and there is a remote control airplane company called Art-Tech. One of these is probably what you are looking for, most likely Air Hogs. The Air Hogs Raider is sold all over, check out the links-

Why do insurance companies control our banking industry?

After you investigate this question and understand that both are one in the same; ask yourself why your bank fronts as a bank and is more loyal to its insurance profits. Have you ever wondered why the SEC hasn't nominated to end this dual business? Or, nonetheless, why the Republicans are so dead set to invest our social security and take over the seniors insurance programs? Do you really think McCain wants you to know about this stuff?Why do insurance companies control our banking industry?
They control all the money!!!!Why do insurance companies control our banking industry?
Insurance companies have just recently gone into the banking business. The Insurance companies have plenty of money sitting on the sideline to offset any future losses.


Why are you just asking about McCain, what will Obama do about it?. Are you saying that Americans are to stupid to invest for themselves? Do you really the government can do a better job?.
Insurance companies control most of the money in this country. It has nothing to do with McCain wanting you to know it or not. Any half wit that can follow a stock market report or pays attention to investments has known this for a long time. Try something else to rag on McCain about. You didn't make any headway here.
What are you talking about? Banks are at the top of the food chain. They are owned and ran by the most powerful people in the world.

What was the first car company to offer cruse control?

What is a it called where one company controls all called?

I was giving some thought to it and I thought I heard somewhere (in fiction) of states where one company controls most of the country/state and has a total monopoly over it. Thanks.What is a it called where one company controls all called?
One party states, like the Bolchevique in Communist Russia fall in the description you provided.

An atrocity.

Is it absurd to have one company(AIG) in control of so much money?

I agree with you. Anything with so much excess is off balance %26amp; will eventually have to purge. There should be a limit. If we had other companies in competition it would be better for us all. This is putting to many eggs in one basket. I limit my own level of business. People offer ideas for my handyman business or want to work for me. I keep it simple. I am able to run it without doing anything %26amp; spend too much time on here so I am starting my own organizing businees. I have no huge dreams just want to work each day helping people clean up their clutter %26amp; pay my bills.Is it absurd to have one company(AIG) in control of so much money?
Yes it is! We should never have let corporations grow so big in the first place. When our country first started, corporations had to apply to the govt. for a charter. They wrote a document showing (limiting) how big they could grow, what business they would be engaged in, etc. After ten years they had to have their charter renewed, and the govt. looked at how well they had kept their promises. Today, though, corporations are not only allowed to grow as big as they like, but to merge together to eliminate competition.





Every big market--aviation, broadcasting, print media, entertainment, energy, finance, etc. etc.--is dominated by four or five huge corporations that are now 'too big to fail'. They lobby for deregulation to allow them to engage in non-competitive business practices and also to take high risks for high yield, knowing that if they fail the govt. will bail them out.





AIG got into trouble with 'credit default swaps', which should have been illegal to do in the first place. Congress let them do it because they were so big and powerful nobody wanted to vote against them. It's just the wrong way to run a country.Is it absurd to have one company(AIG) in control of so much money?
No, it's not absurd at all. What do you consider too much? You want to now regulate the success of a company? Think long and hard on this one. Should Microsoft, HP, Dell, or AT%26amp;T down downsizing because someone feels they are too big?
Consider it like this... the government holds 80% of the company now. And that money comes from you... so essentially you are a stockholder in the company now.
Huh ? not such a great idea after all.....what's your plan ?

Who has legal right to sue for non rent if new management just took control. new or old management company?

if you are in an apartment and a new management company comes in which one legally can sue you for non rent if lease was signed after new management but with old company name on lease?Who has legal right to sue for non rent if new management just took control. new or old management company?
The new management company.





The lease transfers and the name on it doesn't matter.





If it is back rent (from before the change) it would depend on the details of the transfer but most likely it is still the new management company.Who has legal right to sue for non rent if new management just took control. new or old management company?
If you were behind on rent before the new company took over, then either could sue you. If you have only lived in the apartment since the new company took over, then probably only the new company would have a legal standing to sue. However, debt is often sold and if the new management has sold or transferred your debt to the old company then they could sue you. The real issue would be if both tried to sue you and recover the same money. Good Luck- Gonzo
