Ever since she became sick about a week ago, lil’ missy has been throwing tantrums a lot. Lunch and dinner time are the worst. She would scream while sitting in the highchair and eating her food. This, of course will make her cough like crazy and she would start to vomit.
When we take her out to the mall and she sees other children with balloons, she would want one and start to get whiny and scream. *Sigh* All these screaming are driving me nuts. I have explained to her and even scolded her but she still does the same thing. What we do is just ignore her and kept walking. People would stare at us as if we just tortured our kid.
I wish she would stop doing it soon because it’s a pain whenever we go out. Just how do you deal with stuff like this?
Maybe it’s just a short phase post sickness?
It’s just a phase larr. For me, I just let Brae cries till he stop. Very mean horr.
Haha. I can identify with “ppl would just stare at us as if we’ve just tortured our kid.” Once when I went to a shopping complex, I had this two wailing, whiny kids holding on to me while I tried very hard to ignore them and everyone was staring but who cares! Hahaha.
It’s quite normal la… my boy still do that sometimes. Eh…u n ur hubby let her cry n dun care abt ppl’s stare hor,. my man would sound me if my boy making too much noise in public. So terrible!
Normally I will distract Darrius with other things and he will be ok with it. Maybe you can offer some snacks to Ashley when she goes all cranky while you guys are at the mall?
Hmmm… I notice most first kids are like that, full attention and they’re kinds used to gettinh most of what they want 😛 Ivan’s the same. Really have to be stric with him sometimes.
When Belle pulls a hissy mood on us, we just bring her out of the store/restaurant. I would kneel down to her level and tell her to stop crying/whinning. Usually when you kneel down to their level and talk to them calmly, they will calm down faster. Sometimes I will also tell her she will need to stop crying or else she cannot go back in to the store/restaurant.
probably just a phase…usually after sick they got weird habits
Ok.. here’s what we’ve gone thru’ with Chloe. I donch know if it is because we own our own store.. but we tell her.. from the day .. she can understand.. that if it’s in our store.. she can do anything.. but not in somebody else’s store. The minute she hissy fit us.. we turn around and go home. We have to show her who the boss is. But when she is home or at the store. .we ain’t that strict.
It’s a phase and I dread to think when it’s my turn with Irfan. I know most of the times I will just let him scream his lungs out. Pfffftttt..!
Hi Mommies…thanks so much for your comments and suggestions. Will try them out when Ashley acts up again.
Aiyo, it’s my cup of tea too when everytime i bring my boys out.They will cry for balloon, end up me always break the rule, i will just buy them a balloon and keep them quiet. So now what i did is i buy a packet of balloon and put it at home, when they cry and whine i just blow a balloon and that’s it. hahaha.Me also tired of shouting and yelling!
i think u’re not alone la. dun worry. just let her cry otherwise she gets it her way and will always do it when she want something
Annie – ahahahaha…you are like me…bought a packet of balloons and blow them up. She has balloons at home and in the car but yet still want one whenever she sees it 🙁
Sasha – yeah….i normally let her cry and don’t give in unless she is not well or when she just had her food. Don’t want her to vomit.
oooo this sounds familiar…
