He knows his name. He is determined and won't give up.

You can't expect that much from a ten month old. My two year old doesn't listen to me all the time. Just be patient, and he will understand eventually.

Be patient, but firm when speaking to him. He knows what he's doing, and you can't let him get away with it. It's kinda like training a dog. He has to know who's in charge. Once you establish that you make the rules and he doesn't, then you'll be fine. Make him know who's boss. When you tell him not to do something, make your voice stern. You don't have to spank your child to get him to listen, you just have to know how to talk to him. Direct eye contact will also work. Make him look at you in the eyes when you tell him not to do something. When he's getting up on a table, or climbing on things, take him off of it, then make him look at you so he knows you mean business. It will work, maybe not right away, but give it a few weeks, and you will see progress. Time outs also help to. If you can't get him to sit still long enough to keep him in time out, put him in his high-chair for a few minutes. Soon he'll figure out that when he does the wrong thing, he won't be able to play for a long time...two minutes to us is a life time to a 10 month old. Don't let him have any toys while in time out, or he'll learn that when he does something wrong, he gets to play.

About as easy as a 16 year old...but at least the 10 month old child can't pick up the car keys and go out with his friends. Seriously, at 10 months having the child respond to yes or no or other basic interactive requests is about standard.

A 10 month old does not have the ability to be able to follow directions. This is going to take several months to a year longer.

At 10 months they are learning the meaning of no. They kind of know what it means but don't always listen. And it's still too early to expect them to listen. But keep trying!!

At ten months that's no longer what you assert, that's the way you assert it. in case you want her to hearken to you once you assert no, then you want to say it in a way which startles her - you do not ought to yell, purely be sharp and surprising. a lengthy-drawn-out "noooo" and a kiss is about as a lot use as a chocolate teapot. Say "NO", %. her up, and at present placed her down faraway from both regardless of she became doing and from you. Edit: Like others have suggested, this shouldn't teach her now to not do issues - she's too youthful. What that's going to commence to do is to teach her that "no" potential "i'm doing something mummy would not like me doing".

Talk to him. He is listening and just learning. A child thinks "me me me". They think the world revolves around them. Try refocusing. Try letting him play with others. The interaction will show him that he can't always have his way. I'm sure you're doing the best you can to teach him, but peers are the best teachers at this stage

He's only 10 months old, he can't understand everything. American Baby.com has a great "calender" I guess you could call it. You can click on how old your baby is, and see exactly how he should be growing physically, emotionally, and mentally. Check it out, hope it helps. Just try to be paitent.

The first thing after I had my children that I had to learn was a lot of patience and that I will have to repeat myself for the rest of their natural born days.
If you really want his attention set him in front of you and lower yourself to his eye level, don't lift him to yours it could be scary for him.
You will have to say no a lot and repeat other things you say almost on a constant basis, keep up the good work and know that it will get easier if you stay on top of it now.

right now he's the boss, give it about two more months, then with a firm but gentle hand let him know that your the boss. you have got to put the fear of God into them at an early age or they will end up taking advantage of you later.
