My baby is 10 months old and she is getting increasingly stubborn and angry. Please help !!!!?

Answer 1

I am guessing your baby is a Capricorn if she is around 10 moths old! Though I may be wrong if she is not a Capi! She might be an Aquarius

Capricorn babies tend to be stubborn.

You’ve got one very determined and Enduring Angel here, with so much strength, determination and seriousness, that sometimes you’ll have to remind them to be a kid.

Your Enduring Angel will look you in the eye and say ‘no’ and just stand there, with all the time in the world and a look in their eye that says ‘I’m not budging’. And you know what? They won’t. This is one very stubborn sign and you’ve got to avoid a battle of wills at all costs.

That is all just a guess! Maybe its in her genes too :P

Good Luck ;-)

Answer 2

The behavior you see is more a result of frustration on her part. She is big enough to get around some, curious enough to observe and want to participate, and bright enough to have her own opinions and feelings about things. And too small to do most of it, without the vocabulary to express her wants and needs. She's just getting tired of being completely dependant on others for everything. Lacking the vocabulary and experience, she expresses it in the best way she can- being stubborn and angry. I found the easiest way to handle some of it was to teach my children some very basic sign language, which they can and do learn very rapidly. Teach her to sign "I want", "drink", "eat" and "go", and you will give her some tools to signal things to you she can't yet say. You can learn the basic signs from various sites on the web for sign language, or even buy books to teach sign language to a hearing child for just this reason. Once they can express basic needs, and get their point across, my kids were a lot happier. A lot of it will improve when she is up walking as well, and as she acquires more of a vocabulary. Even teaching her to shake her head yes or no will help in the meantime, even if it does mean a game of 20 questions on your part. She sounds quite intelligent for 10 months, so it shouldn't be too hard to teach her. Shake your head and say no, or nod and say yes. She should be able to do an imitation you can at least recognize, and catch on in a few days with some encouragement. Once she learns you are trying to figure out the problem, she should feel a little less frustrated and angry, and work with you to puzzle out the problem. It's really just a bump in the road, where mental development exceeds the physical ability, and shouldn't last too long.

Answer 3

She is becoming more aware of her surroundings. If her health is good, teething could be what's troubling her. Be more observant of your routine and check to see if adjustments need to be made. Sometimes baby changes and parents lag behind. That frustrates babies. Sign language is a big help. Either get a book on baby signing or develop some simple signs for you and baby to learn. If you plan to have baby in daycare or alredy do, then a book is recommended since the language is universal.

Answer 4

My little girl, now 11mths, has become like this as well. It's a natural stage they are entering I think, now that they are becoming aware of their own desires. I try to explain to her in short sentences that her behaviour is unacceptable. If she throws something in her temper I try to get her to look at me and see that I didnt like her doing that. If she cries because she doesnt get her own way (say I stop her from trying to throw herself off the bed, from pulling on the kitty's tail, etc etc) then I let her cry a bit. Then I distract her with something else and she's back to her happy, loving self. Yes, I have put her in her playpen when I've sorta had enough if she's grouchy but I find that 9 times out of 10 with her she's acting like this because she's tired. She fights her naps more and more, but I try really hard to get her to take them otherwise I can see the mood swings coming on! I've just read an article that says most of the Terrible 2 symptoms of fussiness and temper is actually a result of exhaustion. If she really wont take her afternoon nap then we go for a walk in the stroller where she usually conks right out.

Ha ha, did you have a difficult pregnancy?!? You need to show more love!?! Ignore such comments. I know I'd take offense if someone said this to me. I asked a ? once, wondering if other babies have a habit of handing you their toys whenever they see you as mine has been doing that for awhile (too cute!) and someone wrote in a nutshell: 'Stop worrying about this and spend more time with her, take her to the zoo or for a walk.' Very stupid comment, I wasnt in the least worried and he knows nothing about me! How could he say I need to spend more time with her. That isnt even possible, I'm a stay at home mom who spends every waking second of her life with her!
Anyways, show patience with her and hopefully you can teach her the 'correct' way to deal with her not getting her own way. I still have a hard time with this myself sometimes.... just ask my husband. :-)

Answer 5

.this type of problem is likely to occur in a family where both the parent i.e. mother and father both are employed & baby feels insecurity . The other more common cause is broken family or dispute among family members . Most of the time counselling of parent solves the problem in baby . It is the good time to consult a paediatrician .

Answer 6

My 10 month old daughter is the same way.It is her way or nothing at all and when she gets mad she screams,yells,hits,bites,pinches,scratches and throws her toys. I have to fight with her to change her clothes,dipers,get her out of the bath,.All I have been able to do is be patient and give her extraa loving. She is only like this with me and not with her 3 older brothers or her dad. I am hopeing this is just a stage that she is going thru and that she will out grow it. Just be patient and maybe talk to her pediatrition to see what they recommened.

Answer 7

babies naturally tend to learn from their parents and peers. so the best way out is to act the good samaritan before your baby. thereby, the baby gets to learn how to accomodate in a given environment. besides, try to inculcate values like accepting defeat. for example, the baby may be adamant in getting something he or she wants. if you make the child feel that the thing will not be made available unless it is asked for in the right manner, there will be a change. believe me, for i have had similar parenting troubles. it is the same with emotions. make the baby feel the way you do. share your emotions and feeling with the baby and make him or her understand them. that's the way the child's character can be moulded. try it out. all the best.

Answer 9

Answer 10

Be patient and be loving.

Be in her shoes. She is completely dependent upon you for love and support. Her frustration of the unknown boils over into stubborness and anger.

Your love shown to her in these times will be remembered deeply and have a profound effect upon her.

Best of love and health to you! Blessed Be!
