Pregnancy Info HOME

I have never encountered a child who cried non-stop. I am not sure how to handle my son when he starts to have tantrums. Do I ingnore them or send him on a time out? Honestly, I have no clue. Is paying attention to the tantrum giving it power? Spanking is not an option for us but I would like an effective way to deal with this impending problem.

Oh, you don't spank your children. Obviously you have your own way of parenting and aren't open to other opinions. No one tells me how to raise my son, my husband and I brought him into this world, no one else did, therefore, we will parent him.

I think B has comprehension problems. B, dont be so caddy. She asked for help and did not say what other people should do for spankings.

I was always told to annoy "Fits". It is just a child's way of trying to get his or her way. Once the child notice it don't work, he or she will move on to something else. I use to walk off and say "Mommy is leaving you." My oldest son grew out of fits very early. Now he think hugs, smiles, and/or kisses will work. I melt....heeheee.....All my little guy have to say is "I love you", almost everyone give in. He found new ways of getting what he want.....heeeheee........Sometimes there is not much you can go about the tantrums but wait for it to pa__s.

Parent how you see fit B. KEEKEE - thank you for the advice. I think ignoring might be a good idea as well.

Wow, i dont think ive ever held a baby for 6 hours lol.The second one i can understand.I knew this lady with a 5 year old whos teeth were all rotten because she sucked on a pacifier so long.I tried at 1 year to take my daughters pacifier but she refused to sleep without it so i just gave up.But this pask week she left her last pacifier at her g-ma's so im not going to let her pick it back up.I know itll be hard to keep her off once the new baby is born but im not going to give up.Its still hard to get her to sleep but after about an hour she gives up and just lays down with her sippy cup.

Ok after reading a little bit i noticed that not alot of you like tempered kids.It didnt offend me until someone said children with no home training throw temper tentrums.Thats just crazy.My daughter is one of those tempered kids but she never acts like that at home.JBear is right.Kids dont come with volume switches so what are we supposed to do if we are on a bus at night?Im sure most of us deal with it differently.I definatly dont ignore her screaming because i cant stand it myself.Depending on where we are ill just take her to the car and tell her we are going to sit in there and listen to her cry until she decideds to straighten up.Usually this works.We went to a fruit cup store the other day and as we were leaving this couple pulls up and gets out not even looking back at their daughter.I got outraged and told my hubby to go into the store and tell them to get out there with their daughter or bring her in.The guy just walked out there and looked at the baby then went back inside.I got mad i stormed in the store and threatened to call the cops if that lady didnt get out in that hot car and get her baby right this instant.She went out there and we sat there until they left to make sure they didnt just leaver her in that hot car again.
