My daughter is 4 yrs old and so hyper and loud,she won' t watch amovie without yelling out loud ?

Question

Me and my fiance can't even sleep until 8,even if we make her breakfast and put a movie on for her she still feels the need to just annoy the c**p out of us all day long

Answer 1

have her tested for terits.. or ADHD

Answer 2

She needs discipline and some activities. Make sure she is getting plenty of exercise. Watching TV, playing video games is not exercise. Get some bicycles and take her for a bike ride. Play ball outside or take her to a park. She will work off that hyper that way. Also make sure she isn't eating junk. Fresh vegetables, fruits....not just sweet cereal and junk. You will be amazed at the difference.

Answer 3

little kids get up early.  Get used to it.  There won't be late sleep in days until she's a teen.  That's when they sleep a lot.

cut back on the sugar and junk food for her--that will help with the hyperactivity.

as to "annoying the c**p out of you".  Dude, 4 year olds want attention from their parents.  They crave it and they need it.   Man up and be dad, you're behaving like some single mom's boyfriend and not your child's father.

Answer 4

That's what kids are like. Maybe if you think of kids in terms of say a puppy. Would you expect a puppy to instantly know how to behave? Kids need lots of love and attention, need to be taught things in stages as they grow. A four year old is still too young to be expected to do what you're asking of her. Her Mom may be more patient as she has the benefit of maternal hormones to connect her to the child. For you, its gonna be more difficult. It has to be a choice.

Maybe you can have weekends where she is with a relative and you guys get to sleep in till 8, but you need to make sure she's safe for one thing, and leaving her alone while you sleep in, is not that.

What about bringing her into bed and making it a special time to laugh and tell stories? Your life is now completely different and you are no longer the most important person in your fiances life.  Is this child worth your attention?  

If she's is constantly annoying, she might be looking for attention. When kids lack that, they get even more irritating. Attention and love are basic human needs, just like food and shelter.

Maybe you were hoping for an answer that would tell you your child is the problem. The amount of energy you exert to fight your responsibility could be better used in planning how to be a good parent. Maybe take a parenting class. Use your energy positively. Was this child a surprise? Will more follow? It's not going to get easier, she will get older and you have her for 18 years. Get a plan of action or some sense of what you will be like as a Dad.

My guess is this answer wont please you one bit, it will be ignored, and you will be one of the moaners in 15 years whose kid is in trouble and you are still wondering why you got such a loser for a kid???

Answer 5

My brother was like that until he reached 7. Maybe it's just a phase. But most 4 year olds are naturally hyper. If you really are concerned about her hyperness ask her pediatritian.

Answer 6

thats normal for a child at that age...once theyre awake...everyones awake...

youre fighting a losing battle trying to sleep when a four year old is up and about (really you should b awake also, so the child isnt running around the house unsupervised...)

maybe you can make her bedtime a little later at night so that she may sleep in later in the morning..

Answer 7

She is only 4 years old!  Why in the world would you be so neglectful to expect her to eat breakfast alone in front of the tv so that you and your b/f can stay in bed together?

Instead of stating that she is 'annoying the c**p' out of you, how about you put her first in your life and give her the love, support and attention she so desperately needs?

I feel very sorry for her.
