any mummys got any advise!!

(please mature answers only and please exuse spelling mistakes)

Answer 1

has he been tested for autism and other medical problems? You should never assume that a child is screaming just to get attention. Try to give your Mom a break and help sooth the little fellow. I am sure brother may need a break from Mom too.

Answer 2

argh!..............there is plenty of reasons he is cry

1. he is overtired

2. maybe hungry/thristy

3. needs his nappie change-if he wears any

4. bored and needs stimulation

5.he might need attention-sit with him on ur lap and read him a book and u get some quite time then.

all kids needs a routine, try ur options.

lol, sounds abit like my 2yr old daughter

Answer 3

I was told by doctors, teachers etc... that when in the time out corner the time starts after they have quieted so it is 1(quiet) minute for each year of age--if he screams or talks start the time over---tell him why you are doing this---hopefully you don't have neighbors because for the first week it is going to be hard---sometimes I feel like time out is all I do all day long but eventually it will get better and you have less occurrences--try the nose in the corner--they can't look at anything and it is not comfortable at all---for my daughter sometimes we put her in her highchair in the corner--talk to him about what he has done wrong and why it's wrong.

another suggestion is breathing and stretching exercises (kind of like in pilates)  this works great for my son when he gets mad---breathe in when arms or body is going up and breathe out when they are going down---deep soothing breathes--lift the arms over the head and then roll down to touch your toes---it works nice for parents, older siblings and children as a great stress relief.

I have heard of a cool down corner where the kid has to go to a certain corner that has blankets pillows, sleeping bags toys and only come out when they are calm.

another thing to try is to take away privileges--such as no park, going outside, tv or something he likes---also sometimes when my son misbehaves I bag up a few of his toys and lock them in the basement

Answer 4

You need to decide on a consequence for bad behavior (like a naughty corner) and stick to it.  He will try to get his way anyway, but if you don't give in he will see that screaming and carrying on will not get him his way.  It might take you 30 mins. to get him to stay in a naughty corner for 2 mins, but don't give up or he will learn that acting worse will get him what he wants.

Good Luck and have patience!

Answer 5

Sounds like temper tantrums...

Best thing to do is to ignore them.  If that means putting him in his room with the door shut until he calms down, then that's the answer.  Try putting him in his crib/bed.  It could be that he is so tired that he doesn't know what he wants, thus he'll cry for any reason out of frustration.  He might cry for a little bit, but you know he's safe, and he might just get that much needed nap.

Good luck!
