Hitting,bitting
My Son is 2years 2months old, sometimes during playing with us even with other children he beats and bite. Every time he shouted like anything and became aggressive and very difficult to handle . even he didn't share his toys with anyone. What ever he wants he will try to get by any means. Sometimes in public forum quite annoying. Even he didn't want to eat. Hence his growth is not normal. We tried to convince him, but no use. In such cases my wife punish him. But no use. What to do?

Hello Parent
Sometimes children behave in this manner when they want to seek attention. Also we need to note down what all are the situations which cause him this anger, is it when he wants something we are always saying NO to it( is it our first reaction most of the times).
Avoiding to eat could be sensory or behavioral( for better understanding consult a psychologist).
So firstly you need to note down what all causes him this behavior, could be what he observes in his surroundings( violent environment around).
Next Steps
Consult a psychologist for a detailed Behavioural assessment to understand better and further proceedings.
Health Tips
Try and not say NO to the child, explain him/ her the why. Stay patient and calm with the child.
