When does my son stop crying and tantrums?

Answer 1

When you stop being a bad parent, Bad kids come from bad parents. They are a product of thier environments.

Answer 2

It depends on your son's age and the reason behind the tantrums. If he is very young he may not have any other way to express himself - whether he's angry, frustrated, etc. In that case you need to try to help teach him a better way to communicate until he is old enough to express himself in another way.. If he's older and verbal, he has probably learned that tantrums get him attention or what he wants. If you can figure out why he is crying, you can decide how to stop it. No matter how hard it is to listen to him, do not give in because of the tantrum. Either totally ignore him when he's having a tantrum/crying or leave him in a safe room alone until he stops. It will probably get worse before it gets better because he will be frustrated that his tantrums don't work anymore. Make sure to give him positive reinforcement when he isn't crying or having tantrums so that he relearns a healthy way to get what he needs/wants.

Answer 3

It depends. My 11 month old doesn't cry even when he falls and bangs his head, if I'm not there to see. When I'm there, he'll cry for a bit of attention. If you give your child attention when he demands it, ie says, "look at me," he won't have tantrums. If you get tired of looking or don't answer his 100whys/hour, then he'll have a tantrum to get your attention. If you only pay attention to him during his tantrums, you know who's boss. I know the latter part from my 5 year old and babysitting other kids.

Answer 4

Ok, you may not like this answer, but it worked for my Mom and it worked for me.

1- If it is in a pulic place, take your child and leave and explain it is because of his or her behavior that you couldn't buy the groceries. If they are old enough to understand tell them you will not be manipulated in that way.
2- If it is at home, here comes the fun part
a) get a cup of water and throw in his face (it's harmless)
b) get down on the floor and do the exact thing they are doing just to show them you can throw a tantrum too.

Shock factor works wonders on kids.

Answer 5

He stops crying when you tell him and make clear that you are in control. that crying is not going to give him anything he wants. get down to his level make eye contact and ask him why he's crying. Listen. Answer and let him know that you love him and crying is not the way that we get what we want.

As after as the tantrums: Watch the Super Nanny, I used this method of the NAUGHTY PLACE with my children before she was even on TV, it really works.

Answer 6

I heard of parents falling down on the floor screaming and shouting louder than the child which has helped. Others swear by ignoring the little brat. The problem is probably a discipline problem that you have ignored and now are out of hand. Remember YOU are the parent and the boss and the authority. This is the time in their life when they learn to respect authority or bend it. NO does not mean YES, or YES after manipulation, and this is the time to teach the child that.

Answer 7

When you stop paying attention to him when he does it. After several years of teaching and child rearing with my 4 year old, I can tell you with certainty that tantrums and crying stop when they no longer achieve their desired goal. Tantrums are a child's way of manipulation---you won't give me what I want so I will be loud and annoying until you give in. After several tantrums with no results, children will understand who is in charge.

Answer 8

When you stop reacting to them that is the tantrum and crying

Answer 9

When you stop reacting to them.

90% of all kid crying is because they know you will run to them and give them attention...or give in eventually. If you know it's not an emergency, then just ignore them. Pretty soon they will know temper tanrums and crying is just a lost cause and too much energy.

Don't give in - ever. You have to be consistent in order for parenting to work.

Answer 10

How old is your son? It is hard to say when I don't know the age. If he is an infant you have some time to go now... If he is almost 10 years old he would probably require therapy.
