this boy throws fits all the time, he hates being in a contained area, he hates carseats, he hates it when you hold him, if he doesnt get what he wants he'll throw a tantrum, i thought those things didnt start till they were like almost 2 at LEAST!! he does things and i'm not sure if he knows hes not supposed to, i teach him NO,Stop and slap his hand but it doesnt effect him, he'll just cry and be in a fit. he throws things and everytime he has something he'll throw it away and want you to get it from him like hes playing fetch. he throws fits in high chairs, sometimes he wont eat and he'll smack your hand even tho he wants food, i dont get him.

i need suggestions of how you can teach a 10 mo. old to stop acting like a brat and discipline him!

Hey,

Well, at that age, he's not really acting much like anything. He's just reacting to what he's found works really.

With little Bobby, I made sure he never got what he wanted after screaming or throwing a fit. As soon as he was quiet and done, I'd give him whatever he wanted. At that age, the kid doesn't know anything other than what they've done before, that got them what they wanted.

I've read a few of your posts. You sound like you have a lot to say. What's your situation? You're not with the father, I know. Are you living by yourself with your son?

Later,
Bobby

yeah i tried doing that dont give it back to him idea and he just tries to get it himself, or he just sits there and then gets bored, then he starts getting irrate or more into mischief. I do the let him cry it out if hes misbehaving but he'll cry for 30mins(thats the max i've let him), i thought they would stop at 15 mins lol.

its just weird when i compare other babies older and younger than him that don't understand what i'm talking about, i go out in public and see how calm babies are in high chairs mine hates high chairs & he thinks its the electric chair, he grabs everything he can and throws it, i have yet to see a baby who gets as messy as mine.
so its good to know that it is nothing new for his age. whew!

yes, I do have a lot to say, my mind is always going a million miles an hour with thoughts in each and every way (sometimes i feel like those "philosophers,always in deep thought), I dont know why I am this way. In real life I dont talk this much! but I'm not shy either. I guess its easier to talk this way without getting interrupted or sidetracked lol. i don't have anyone to talk to about feelings/thoughts/sadness i dont have those so called "best friends" you can trust confide and they care about you types.

to sum my situation,no job b/c no babysitter, no babysitter b/c i have no money for one, got lots of time on my hands without a job, he pays me $250/mo. which is nothing can't afford to keep busy by going out & distracting myself from thoughts of him. so i'm stuck living with my parents and i hate it, its crowded living with a child with you in a room lol.
