Crying to get what they want

mine is doing the exact same thing!! it seems like the whining is all day long every day 😩

Try not to give it a big reaction. “Oh man you’re so frustrated” and carry on. It’s kids growing brains job to push boundaries and try various approaches to get what they want. Remain consistent and they will learn.

@Nathaly shes slowly starting to do it more and im thinking it’s going to become a habit now 😭

@Kelsey thank you! I’m going to try this! She’s going to be 11 months but I hope the consistency will help

@Cynthia mine will sometimes side eye me too when she does something she is not supposed to. she will really only whine when i say something about it, but sometimes i have to! today she wanted to eat a rock smh

My son does that too. He even adds the tears. He will also get louder the longer I take. One time it got to the point where he started screaming and no longer crying. My neighbors thought I was doing something to him. Today, he started crying because I wouldn’t give him an opened RedBull can and a napkin. I gave in and gave him the napkin but not the can. He instantly stopped 😩 He also fake cries every time I stop him from launching himself off my bed.

It’s just a stage all babies go through lol 😆 it can be aggravating for sure! If it’s to do something or get something dangerous I try to offer a safe substitution while explaining what I’m doing and why. Eventually they start to understand. 😭🙏🏽

Mines is cute atm I how he doesnt proceed to get worse 😭 i tell him no and he'll give me a weird face and go "uhn" or he'll give me a scrunchie face w a giggle

I try to immediately give my daughter something she can have, sometimes she just throws it in a fit 😂 but I just keep trying different things as distraction techniques so she doesn't remember how upset she is for losing whatever I took
