Can some one please give me some advice on my winey 13 month old son?

Question

My 13 month old son wines all day. He doesn't understand the word "no" so when I say it and remove him from the situation he just cries and cries. He wines over everything. I want to put my foot down and get this under control before he gets any older. Any tips would be very helpful! Thanks

Answer 1

i really do feel for you ,even if it `s your first(because 90% of all kids do that at that age)It`s a learning curve we all go through and as tough as it sounds it only gets worse(that`s why it`s called the terrible 2`s)your little one is no different to all of us.like your previous  answer, it`s all about routine and  distaction ,i know it sounds terrible but their not us,we love `em and shake our heads in laughter at their funny bits but lets face it they can really drive us insane(but we love `em).Be patient (yep i know,easy for me too say)but they do grow out of it.Father of six.p.s it helps to explain to them what they`ve done wrong first before you get cross(easier said than done,i know)take care and take some time off for yourself(i know ,another task in it`s self )

Answer 2

It is normal. I just did research for a project at school on temper tantrums. 80% of children ages 1-4 have temper tantrums. A temper tantrum is normall caused when a child is trying to learn something new or you get in the way of their independance.

Answer 3

Don't give in! ignore him completely until he stops crying, even if it takes all day! and tell him so! he will understand, children are more perceptive than you think! A strict learning curve at this stage is better than being "emotionally bullied" by your child for the next twelve years! isn't it? Have a great day!

Answer 4

when he is doing something he isn't supposed to do what you usually do and when he whines ignore it totally...when he tries to come to you acting like he wants something say calmly Very calmly and in your normal (not irritated ) tone and say something like Mommy cant hear you when you talk like that. Or say Mommy cant hear you when you talk yucky (or whatever word you use for something bad. If you just ignore him he might not know its his whining that's the problem. when he stops make sure you ask him what he wants and if its appropriate give it too him and tell him its because he was a good boy and didn't sound yucky to Mommy. It will be easier when you can tell him to talk like Mommys big boy or use his words but this will help until then.

Answer 5

Tell him no. Ignore him. He will stop eventaully. Dont endorse his crying. Act like you dont hear him. He will stop. Then he will know you mean buisness. Hope this helps.

Im only 14 so I dont really know but hope that helps

Answer 6

teach him to talk

Answer 7

I'm not sure that you can cure this right away, But start a routine where when he begins whining talk to him about whining and why its not okay to do that, then direct him in anther direction with toys or something he will be interested in. If you continue to do this he will get the idea, it just may take a while because he is still so young, Good Luck!
