it can be pretty hard. it depends on how well behaved they are. my nephew is almost 2 and he listens to me. dont be too soft and dont be too hard.
** You must start with the basics- there has to be a consequence if the child does not listen. Time out is best for a child of this age, a rule of thumb is 1 minute per year of age so a 2 minute time out for this child. Time out is just to stop the child from all activity and placed somewhere that the child does nothing. Sitting in a chair or on the sofa works fine for this age child.
You must be consistent, every time the child does not listen.
There is always the choice method too. Some children will listen better if given a choice. As an example: You need to put the toy away OR you will have to go to bed. Then follow through with the choice. Every time. These two ways work if you follow through each time, it may be worse before it gets better but it does work.

Are 2 month old bunnies easy to train?
Honestly, no, not at all. I have a 2 1/2 month old bunny, and it is an animal, so it is not exactly going to listen to you; but, they don't really need any training. If you are still up to it, make sure you don't yell or abuse it if they don't listen, because you will lose your trust with it.
How should Sharing toys go with a 4 year old and a 2 year old?
The four year old shouldn't have a problem with "sharing", but the two year old sure will. At two a child is very egocentric and is only concerned with what he/she wants. You know this. What do they say if you ask them a question? "no" is always the answer. At this age they have just learned that they are an individual and are testing it out. I would make sure the four year old understands that the 2 year old won't share and it is up to him/her as an older brother or sister to help the baby understand about sharing. So, if the 2 year old takes a toy the 4 year old is playing with ( I imagine that is happening a lot) redirect the 4 year old to another toy or task. Have him/her help you do something. Leave the 2 year old to the toy and in about 10 minutes the 2 year old will have dropped the toy and will be at your elbow. This is the best approach and will make life easier on you. Just always remember when dealing with a 2 year old they are only concerned with what they want. One of the best methods for dealing with a 2 year old is to give them a choice. If you tell him/her to pick up the toys and they ignore you tell them that if they don't pick up the toys by the time you return you will pick them up and keep them for the day. When they don't do it, do just that. Pick them up and keep them for the rest of day. This works for both ages. Once you do that they will listen the next time. They will cry, they will beg, they will try to make a deal, but keep those toys. If you go back on this you will loose the game.
