J.S.
Yes this is very normal i have a 2 year old also and when he doesnt get his way he throws a fit also... my mom told me that i should just ignore him when he does this because if i draw attention whether its good or bad attention its still attention and thats what they want .. but i will say that the whole thing of sending them to there room when they get whiny or throwing fits is a good idea .. i tell my son to go in his room until he is done acting like a "baby" then he goes in there for a couple minutes and comes out when hes done and tells me that he is done. so good luck and believe me where all going through it .. so good luck
