make sure you have toys he likes and some sorta snack with you and then just "get throught it"....you're doing the right thing by not responding to it....if you do~he'll continue to do it! it's a phase and all 3 of mine went through it....i tried to plan shopping trips and stuff early in the day when he wasn't tired but if it got bad enough we just went home and he had quiet time in his room but i always ignored it in public.

I've got three, and every one of them does this at around that age. It keeps being like that until they're around 4 1/2, too. It's the hardest part of being a parent, in my opinion. I am pretty much stuck at home if I have a child between those ages. The only ways to help is to take a ziplock baggie full of his favorite kinds of non-messy snacks, like raisins, crackers, cheerios, pretzels etc. along with you and a bottle of water or juice as well. Sometimes when they are extra cranky it's because they are hungry or thirsty, and even if they aren't, snacks keep them entertained. Other than that, just grit your teeth and do the best you can. It's hard, but it doesn't last forever. It just seems like it!

It's not a problem. It's nature. Kids do that. It's called the terrible 2's, and some enter earlier than others. My child is 16 months old and starting to do that. You solve the "problem" by understanding that it is what it is, and you just support them as best as you can, and not try to shut them up just for the sake of you not having to hear them "nag."

Try a book by Dr Harvey Karp called "The Hapiest Toddler on the Block." His previousu book about quieting fussy babies saved what wasa left of my sanity!! He has a website...

Good luck and the other answers appear wise to me as well...

PS -- I was a stay at home dad for 2+ years.. so please do not write me off..

Be patient. This too shall pass. Show him lots of love, especially when he is about to drive you insane. Soon he'll be grown up and gone.

Perhaps he a paining in some way or he perhaps getting car sick. I would see a pediatrician to see if everything is OK.

try different toys maybe a game' an let him release some anger before picking him up'
