How do you get a 3 year old to stop crying?

Question

his mom just came by to feed him, and then left. now that he knows his parent left, he's crying. His mom strictly said to put him to sleep. but he won't sleep, he's crying. what do i do?? this is my first time baby-sitting a child. i don't have anything that i could give him to play with. what is best to do in this situation?

Answer 1

Can you sing to him? You also might telling a story...or reading a story.

Answer 2

you put barney on, put him in his highchair, give him a sippy cup with some juice and a cookie. Maybe he'll stop. good luck

Answer 3

i suggest that you read to him if you have any story books, or sing to him if you have a good singing voice, i d think it'll be good to play with him now because his mom said to let him sleep, so u would have to find something to do with him that'll help him to fall asleep.Otherwise you may have to leave him to cry eventually he'll fall asleep.Good luck!

Answer 4

ignore him...i am a nanny and sometimes the youngest boy just keeps crying and crying...he has been fed changed and theres nothing wrong with him, he just doesnt want to take a nap...so i put him in his bed anyway and shut the door and i ignore it..after about 10 minutes he falls asleep...my daughter cries when she doesnt get her way sometimes..and i just ignore her too...she pats my arm she yells mommy but i just ignore her and then when she finally decides to stop crying i ask her what she wants....it works everytime..put him to bed as his mom stated and ignore his crying...he will live

Answer 5

Sometimes if you whisper, the child will be quiet long enough to listen to what you are saying. So I would wisper, "let's make some cookies" or something really fun that he would like. When you are doing your fun thing... let him know that when you 2 are done this activitiy, that he has to lay down.

Answer 6

he's crying because you are a stranger to him. when yoyu are friends you'll be amazed at his attitude towards you

Answer 7

research study has proven that if u take your children to the beach will releave lots of stress do to the fact that its amzing for ther little minds to see alot the water out in the distance than to see just pure trees and land your child ell focus more less stress read to h/s talk to h/s sit him in your lap and point out certain objects and this will help you because if your child is crying he or she is stressed and baby stress isnt good becaus more likely all your baby is going to do is cry and in the near future your baby will live a healthy happy and smart life through the years of his life make sure to raise a healthy baby is also watching for small problems like being clean making sure he or she goes to doctors appointmes at least once a month throught its life now thats a healthy baby u will experince this spend lots of time with yer child even when hes  first born talk to him this can really effect yer child he will be smarter and happier
