11 month old baby keeps testing me...what can i do to show him im not playing with him?

Question

i dont wanna hit him but he is leading me to it...i tell him not to bang on the computer keyboard and he keeps doing it....i tried say no with a serious face on..he doesnt listen....what can i do

Answer 1

use a very stern and a bit louder voice then usual and say "NO" then move him away from the keyboard and shut the door so he can't get back in there.

If he smacks you, say "STOP. be gentle with mummy" and show him how to touch your face gently (using his hand).

If that doesn't work, say "NO" and put him down away from your face.

your tone of voice is the best way to teach toddlers.

Answer 2

omg. please tell me this is not a serious question. he's leading you to it? really. that's awful. @ 11 months he will want to copy you and be near you. if he sees you tapping on the keyboard he will want to "play" and do the same thing. try not having him near the keyboard in the first place. when he smacks your face hold his hand and say no in a firm voice. then stroke your face with his hand and say gentle. NEVER smack him, that's child abuse and totally wrong. maybe you need to take a parenting class or get some help with this issue from somewhere. please don't ever hit him, he's just a baby

would just like to add: cutiepie 360 i have reported you. thats disgusting and child abuse.

Answer 3

Are you joking? This is a baby! They are not going to understand that and its abuse. Why are you putting them where they can bang on the keyboard anyway-thats your doing no theirs.

Answer 4

oh my god....

you want to smack you 11mos old BABY??? what lazy, disgusting and abusive parenting technique you have going on there.

maybe if you got off Y!A and played with your child, interacted with him, he would not be hitting the keyboard.

i can see why he would like smacking you in the face though, providing he gets close enough to you to do it, which id expect to be rare.

Answer 5

He's a little BABY! He's not testing you he's too young even to know how! Hitting a baby is abuse! Have you lost your mind?

Answer 6

Have you lost your mind?  

Answer 7

If you don't want him smacking the computer, then keep him away from it.... and I do agree, you have lost your mind!! Its a baby, he doesn't understand yet. Why don't you buy him some toys to keep him busy??

Answer 8

Well then go in the kitchen and get a wooden spoon and smack yourself with it cause u r being a lot more rediculous than he is.

Go get some books on child development and also some patience would be nice.

Answer 9

He's an 11 months old baby he is not even old enough to even understand he's doing anything wrong.  Please  go get parenting skills quickly you surely need them.
