not nice is it, you ask for advice and get replies that your a bad parent!
you're probably not and your son just has a strong personality. my boy started the battles at an early age but now he is 3 and a half and completely grown out of it and is a polite, happy, loving boy - something i never would of dreamed of 2 years ago!
a book called Divas and Dictators has good advice for tantrums, and stubborness and also how to keep yourself calm.
he will push boundaries so just try and be firm, good luck !
Generally,
The terrible twos come by mind-set, so yes it can come early.
If your son is advanced, or maybe more developed than children his age it is quite possible.
Has his pediatrician said anything about him being advanced? Take a look into that.
This stage generally goes away if treated as such, this is the time to enforce rules and establish that "I'm the adult, you are a child value"
Then there is the other aspect,
No one should take offense too as I am only stating the plausible.
Spoiled children, yes this young they CAN be spoiled. Tend to start to act up at a young age because they have been taught that they can have whatever they want.
With that, I suggest enforcing rules now.

Bad behavior can start very, very early. My brother-in-law's daughter, at the age of SIX MONTHS, would scream and cry and then hold her breath, if she didn't get what she wanted, until she turned blue and pass out. So they always gave in and gave her what she wanted. This resulted in a child so spoiled that at the age of 16, when her dad simply asked her to help with the dishes, she threw the bowl of ice cream she was eating all the way across the room at his head, barely missing him, and it smashed against the wall and broke, sending ice cream and dish fragments everywhere.
If your son is throwing tantrums to get his way, it's because he knows tantrums work, that if he does it long enough, you give in and he gets what he wants. The cure is to stop it -- NOW. It takes good consistent parenting, but you CAN do it, if you get stubborn enough. Here's how:
If he's throwing a tantrum in a public place, like a store or the mall, take him home and then follow the steps in the next paragraph. I know it's a pain, but if he learns that he has to go back home every time he tantrums, he'll stop.
If he's throwing a tantrum at home, take him to his room, put him in, and shut the door. He'll stop eventually, because tantrums are for making people watch. If you refuse to watch, the tantrum is useless. You can either hold the door shut, or walk away. If you walk away, he'll probably come out and continue his tantrum, so you have to be willing to put him back in as many times as he comes out. You have to keep telling him that when he stops screaming and crying, he can rejoin you. But if you give in, you're teaching him to do more tantrums, and the terrible twos will last until he leaves home.
Once he stops the tantrum, then you need to hold him and praise him for not yelling, and give him a treat -- NOT what he was screaming for, mind you, but a cookie or a trip to the park or something.
Kids throw tantrums because parents make the tantrums work by giving in. Whether yours continues to do that from now on depends on YOU and how you handle it. Good luck.
my take on terrible twos is that it not because the child is spoiled or bad parenting, its that at this age the child cant tell you what they want or need and that gets very frustrating for them. they are finally at the age of independence, they can walk and are learning to talk but their talking is not that great and sometimes there is a crossed wire. what worked for me is talking to them, instead of yelling have them sit on your lap, console them until they calm down and once they are calm talk to them and that should resolve the issue. if that doesn't work than it is probably an attention thing, just snuggle with them and they should calm down. also i think terrible twos can start as early as 1 and last until they hit kindergarten, you just have to remember that your child is still learning words and if you are the lucky few who can teach them at a young age than you probably have never had to deal with it.
There is no terrible two's. It's a child learning boundaries, independence, etc. Or it's poor parenting. Value your child. Perhaps your the monster
my daughter was about the same age when she turned 2 she was as good as gold.
Only through bad parenting
lol yes
