Any ideas on how to make my 2 year old understand the words "no talking?"?

Question

Of course there are times that everybody needs their children to be queit. I need some suggestions on how to make my 2 year old not to talk when I say "no talking" or "be quiet" or "shhh". Any ideas?

Answer 1

repetition is the key!! i found"shh" works the best...when u do it tho don't jus put your finger to your lips...put it to HIS because babies understand that better.you gotta face it tho-2 yr olds love to talk...so sometimes if they r really really jabbering away u jus have to take them out of the room or whatnot bcuz they can't hold their words for a long time,lol.
Another thing that might work is make sure that your child has had enough to eat b4 your go to a place where u know he/she will have to be quiet because food or milk esp. makes children more content,tired, or quiet depending on the child........make sure it is NOT sugar though-no suger that is just the best way to make sure your child will be hyper,or otherwise loud
i hope this helped
Take care n good luck

My son loves parrotting everything we say and do, so I made a game of whispering and equated that with being quiet. Once he understood "whisper" I moved on to "shhhhhhh" with my finger over my mouth. Once he understood that, I began using "quiet" said in a whisper with the shhh sound over my mouth. He won't always respond to it as I would like, but I do know that he "gets" it. It's just tough to get a 2 year old to want to be silent. Good luck with the training. Most of all, let him firmly know that you mean business and that some times, he MUST be quieter than others.

My two-year old class plays "the rock game" and whoever is quietest gets a round of applause when it's over. We also "sneak very quietly, don't let anyone see you" through the halls or whenever i need them to stay quiet. Be creative and turn it into a game. Two-year-olds can be so easily fooled :)

in the experience that your in the keep and he sees a toy he needs and starts off screaming on account which you're saying no, say end it or we will bypass away. yet do no longer purely say it, do it. then after the 1st few cases he could start to understand no skill no in that situation. do no longer supply him some thing to end him as a results of fact all which will do is supply him what he needs and he will think of it quite is okay to do it. attempt finding some thing he quite HATES and whilst he starts off screaming for some thing, threaten him with it. you purely could do it some cases in the past he realizes that your severe and once you utilize the treats returned he could end it as a results of fact he does not choose besides the fact that your threatening.

Answer 5

At that age theres no way of really keeping them quiet. The one thing I found that kinda worked was not paying any attention to my son when he was wanting attention from me. Dont get frustrated though when you have to repeat yourself. It'll only show them that it is frustrating you and they'll keep doing it. Say it once, possibly twice, then ignore them.

Answer 6

my son loves to talk so when we go to places were we have to be quit, me and my daughter and i tell him we're going to play the quit game. who ever can not talk for the longest time gets somthing (ex. candy) that they want. if the game is still going on when it is alright to talk you say somthing and then tell them that they win

Answer 7

We play 'dead fish'.

When mom says "DEAD FISH!" Every one has to act like a dead fish.

Dead fish dont talk.

It works better with young school aged children than it does with toddlers.

Answer 8

Say No talking then if they continue I found duct tape to be effective.

( :) just kidding .... sort of.)
