Why I decided to blog about this...
A little bit of history before we get to the down and dirty:) I had Asher on May 21, 2010. He was 8lbs 3oz and 20 3/4in long. He was an amazing baby! We never had any issues with bedtime at night, or anything really. He started sleep through the night 12hrs at about 4 months old. He started crawling at 8 1/2 months. Pulling himself up and walking around furniture 9 1/2 months. No binkie or bottle at 9 months. He says Mama, Dada, Bye bye, night night, ball. hmm.. what else can i tell you about him? He is into everything? He doesn't get the concept of No. I feel like we are in the terrible twos at 10months old. He will look at you and instead of grabbing on the tv or the remotes or things you've told him no about he slowly touches them with just one finger! He yells back at you in baby babble when you tell him no. Ryan(my husband) and I have tried a swat on the diaper, light slap on the hand, and saying no and of course distracting him with HIS toys; nothing has been working! I am going nuts! So I decided to write this blog to let out my frustration in a constructive way and well say the things that some moms feel like they're alone and are afraid to say like my child is driving me crazy and I just wanna scream. Perfect example right now, my son just stood up on the entertainment center and i said no no and he looks at me while putting his hand on our TV. So other moms or dads or big sisters brothers, aunts, uncles... HELP ME!! :)

ReplyDeleteSomething that worked for Easa and us at that age is getting down right in front of him and touching the object or showing him the action we don't want him to do and say, "this is a no touch." Or, "this is a "no-no".'Now, (18 months, yes it took a while especially for boys) he'll point at the "no touch" or he'll stop before he does the naughty action and he'll say, "No-no". Disciplining is one of the most frustrating thingd I've had to do as a mother and some children are just more strong willed than otners. This is just something that has personally worked for us.
ReplyDeleteLiz: Don't i know it! lol
ReplyDeleteCaitlin:That might work.... I am willing to try anything:)
You have totally been parent for about 2 seconds longer than me. But maybe some of it has to be all the changes in the last 6 months, moving around, not having Daddy around, now having Daddy around. It's his way of acting out?? I hope something works, I have no advice, other than stick to routine, which is what EVERYONE tells me!!
ReplyDeletethat could very well be it. plus i think he is just growing but we are having a hard time finding discipline that works:(
