Will u plz give me some advice so she dont hurt herself.Plz and Thank You

Answer 1

First, tell her to stop. You are the parent and she is the child. What you might want to do to calm her down is get into bed with her and read her a book (calm setting, soft lamp light) or sit down with her and watch some tv. Good Luck

lol i love the hold her down .. my son use to jump off of the jungle gym at the park lol infact he still jumps off the last four steps on the stair case... I wouldnt worry about it make sure she doesnt junp from anything to high he has gotten over jumping for the most part but at an age where they dont know they should be afraid all you can do it LET THEM LEARN! She will grow out of it.. and make sure when she is jumping there isnt anything she can land on that could really hurt her but a fall from a couch is more like shock hurt than pain.. she sounds like she is having fun to me let her be a baby she only will be once and think of the stories you wil have for her when she grows up a bit my kids love to hear about the things they did!

My son does the same thing.I cannot leave him alone for one second,seriously! I think it's important for him to be physical and learn balance and coordination so I don't stop him,unless he can hurt himself. What I do,do is take precautions. The corners of my walls,edges of my fireplace and all the sharp edges have ,"corner cushions" that I stick on (you can buy them at Target). My kitchen is gated off. I keep my home clean and simple so there is not too much to fall on,bump on or run into. I have hardwood floors that are covered with playmats. If it can be climbed on,it's blocked. Bookcases tethered to the wall. You can buy door stoppers to stop little fingers from being slammed.

I know that my home looks like a daycare right now, but at least I have peace of mind and I know that one day I will be able to have a ,"grown up" home. For now though, it's all about my son,his fun and his safety.

Because he is so active, we are outside often,most of the day actually. The more room he has the better!

Hope this helps!

It is natural for kids to be adventurous. They like to also test their parent's limits, see what they can get away with. With a firm, yet loving voice, simply tell your baby "No". I know it gets quite redundant, but keep at it. If, of course, after the 2nd time your baby doesn't want to listen, then you need to grab them and sit them down and repeat "No". Let them know you are serious.

Another option to explore is, to make sure you are not giving your child too much sugar, or anything containing sugar in access. Oh, especially pop. Never give a child pop. Not only does it give them a sugar rush, but it is bad for their teeth. And watch the candy. Don't reward with candy either. It sets up a bad example for good behavior.

Good luck and best of wishes.....

Answer 5

My son did that when he was just over a year old. He was testing his limits I believe. I expressed my concern and redirected the behaviour. When he persisted I sat with him in timeout until he calmed down. He's not as hyper now that he's 5, but he does still have his little momments. Thankfully he's able to recognize when he needs a time out on his own :)

Answer 6

She's a kid. My son went through a phase of jumping off of everything! He wanted to be a super hero. If you are really concerned sit her down and explain to her that she will get hurt and teach her something else fun. She may be bored, that may be why she is doing this.

Answer 7

maybe the problem it's the food you are feeding her. kids tend to get hipper when we feed them too many things with high on sugar. if that's not the problem then try explaining him how dangerous those thing can be. ( my daughter broke her leg jumping from the dresser to the bed- missed the be-. also she brooked her arm jumping from a chair) some time you have to scare them a little. or sometimes you just have to let t hem make their own mistakes. (my daughter learned her lesson) Good luck
