I have a 15 month old baby girl Masallah she is just a bundle of joy!! the problem is that everytime I try to stop her from doing something she either screams at me or she cries. I don’t know what to do because i feel so bad when she cries and when she screams outside the whole world stares at me being bad mommy!! what do you people do to???
Re: baby screaming and stuborn
ack! This is a tough thing to go thru! Yet, we (moms) all go thru it!
When your daughter screams and cries, do you give in and let her have what she wants? This teaches her that if she screams loud enough and long enough, eventually she will get her way. This can snowball until you have a screaming little monster on your hands.
When you tell her "no", you have to mean it and you have to stick to it. No matter how loudly she protests. You can provide redirection, get her interested in something else. This works sometimes and sometimes it doesnt. Either way though, once she learns that "no means NO" and that mom wont cave no matter what, she'llbe a much quieter, more cooperative child. It actually doesnt take all that long either. Better to go thru a week of hell but get it resolved once and for all than to go thru somewhat lesser tirades for years yeah?
...hope this helps!
Re: baby screaming and stuborn
i have a 14 month old son and he is teh same.. but what i do is this'
when he wants it his way and i knwo he cant... i get down on my knees, look him in the eyes and firmly explain to him... they at thsi age dont get all teh words in but understand the action of negetivity involved... i then get back up and leave him be.. he used to scream shout wail cry bang his head even on any surface he could... i let him do it... he noticed his tantrum meant nothing to me and quit... now if he wants to do something i dont want him to... all i have to say is no... and he quits cuz he knows he just wont get his way.
it was very very hard though.. initially it wouldnt work and he would go right back to doing what he wanted to do... tok a few weeks but u have to nip it in the bud :)
good luck.
Re: baby screaming and stuborn
I agree with Khawateen and Mamaof3
you need to try redirecting her attention
and being firm with the No
