Ok ladies I need some advice on my son! Lately he's had a super bad attitude, when Its time for him to eat, if he doesnt want to eat , he starts to push the spoon out of his face , or throws his food on the floor. When I'm holding him and if he gets mad he pinches , scratches and tries to hit my face... I know he's still young to fully understand that its wrong , but sometimes you can tell that he knows he's being bad and keeps doing it. What should i do ???
@babeylarissa @babyjaysmommy @eryka616 @alekismyworld thanks ladies, he'll be 1 at the end of October so I'm always wondering if he really would understand a time out yet , but taking away his toys is a good idea , but he'll scream at the top of his lungs till he gets attention 😣
He's in control of his own body and he's exploring what he can get away with. As long as your consistent and tell him no it will change. My son is much better about it now and he understands but still tests me sometimes
My brother was like that. What my mom would do is give him time out or take away his tablet or toys he really liked until he would stop and listen.
I think babies are too small for time outs. I tried it I did it until he stopped crying and did it briefly for 10 seconds and it doesn't work because they forget and they do it again. Until he's able to sit down and understand a time out I don't see a point. I just keep explaining "no dangerous " "no that hurts" eventually they will understand. They've been in this world for only a year or so and we can't expect them to understand from right and wrong.
Taking away the toy yes it might work but I mean is that really necessary. I really try to talk to my toddler and tell him not to do something and why he shouldn't do it. They will grow out of it because eventually they will understand everything we are saying and will have to listen. I think that's when real discipline comes in.
