  1. first stay calm


  2. Take an anger management course?

  3. You'v just got to remember that hes just a baby an hes not whining to purposely annoy you. Iv a 4 year old son an a 2 year old daughter an some days they test me to my max! I almost explode so i have to walk away and calm down otherwise id slap them which i hate doing unless its really REALLY nessesary. Im sure il get thumbs down for saying i smack but theres few parents who dont, even if they dont like to admit it. Its nothing to be ashamed about. In my eyes its the best way to teach them to behave!

    When your baby drives you to distraction just walk away from him for a few mins an calm down. Make sure he has plenty of toys for stimulation as 10 month old babies can easily get bored. Good luck.

  4. Take up a hard-core sport. Boxing, rugby. It's that's too absurd then you can seek help from a counselor/ therapist..?

    and it might not be a good idea to have another child in the meantime either =P

  5. Carry extral candy bars around with you.Hide them. And remind them If you are good when we get home or in an hour or 20 mins is usually enough they will get a treat. show patience just like Love them like you would love your cat or dog who dont understand what it's like to have a well advised mind.rem-ember raipid eye movment and just say "AHHHHH" like the way u get when u are exhaling a bong hit of high quality nature USDA ORGANIC NUGZ hehe!

  6. go for a long walk and get it out of your system the more anger you get the shorter your life gets, this is what i read they reckon people who have tempers dont live for filled lives.

  7. try to find the root of your anger. Is is really the whining or something else?

  8. Something else is making you angry. The whining just helps bring it to the surface. What are you really thinking when this happens? Does it remind you of someone who you always had to respond to like a younger sibling? Does it remind you that you aren't free anymore? Find out what is at the root of your anger & act like you are a wise friend & counsel yourself on it. For example if it distracts you. A wise friend might say " well you know ________ is just a sweet little baby & not doing it to bother you,  if you stay calm, he or she will pick up on your energy & calm down". So you try this & see it gets to be less & less & you spend less time tending to this problem. This is an opportunity for you to see all the things you have ignored & pushed down. Now you have to look at them. I would keep a list, don't dwell on them but find a way to reverse your thinking & forgive yourself & others & eventually it won't bother you at all but you have to get to all the issues. Once you do it will help you in many ways so this baby is helping you with this.

  9. just remember that it is frustrating for your baby to not be understood. You might also have some clinical depression going on. I spent probly 6 months screaming at my 8 year old. She doesn't listen, but it was very hard to not yell at her. about a week after I went back on my antidepressants it was much easier to not yell and scream. I think I have only really yelled at her 2-3 times in the last 2 months. It used to be 4-5 times a day!!

    also, a b-complex vitamin supplement might help too.

  10. Deep breathin, take a walk, See if you can attend to the child without getting angry. Put on headphones? There are a lot of angermanagement excersices

  11. If the child is fed, and dry, and getting close to nap time, put the child in the crib and close the door. Or put him/her in a stroller and head out the door for a brisk walk, and fresh air.
