i have 10 months old baby how do i develop good habits in her?

Question

she is very naughty like looking at books and is a bit nosiy too as sshe reacts at noises

Answer 1

Hey she's a kid and at 10 months she won't understand why she is being punished for looking at books and being noisy!

Answer 2

Perhaps I am misreading the question, but it seems that an example of her "being naughty" is looking at books, correct? Are these your books, or board books purchased with the intent of her looking at them? A 10month old is very curious, not naughty. It is up to the parent to keep things that you do not want the child into out of their reach. My daughter just turned 10months and we have had to start shutting the bathroom door, all the garbage cans had to go up, the older kids are at HUGE risk of loosing their toys to the garbage if little toys are left where baby can get them (choke hazards). Oh, yes! She squeals with delight (and sometimes anger), but that is part of her learning. Treasure the unadultered reactions, the time will come when she is much more guarded and you will wonder if she is telling you everything. Make sure you have plenty of things that she CAN play with around. One of the best things I did with my oldest is allowed her to play in the tupperware cupboard. I couldn't use any of them without washing them first, but it entertained her for hours. Much better than her toys because she thought of herself as playing with my "toys" LOL. Good luck! And remember, she is a baby - if you aren't sure if her actions and reactions are age appropriate, go to a message board for her age group, places like ivillage have a large array of parenting message boards, also there are books such as the "what to expect" series that can help ease your concerns (or let you know if it is a legitimate concern that needs to be addressed). Remember, at 10 months there is no such thing as naughty, just actions that need redirection. (ie: hair pulling, disentangle the fingers and say "no don't pull mommy's hair" or "it's not nice to pull hair")

Answer 3

She is a baby. She is not an 8 yr old you can change behavior. You need to calm down and enjoy the time you have with your baby now or you will never make it thru the terrible 2's. Why is a 10 month old baby looking at books? I am a bit noisy reacting to noises myself and I am a bit more than 10 months old. You need to get a book on raising infants.

Answer 4

She is just reacting to the things she enjoys. In time she will notice that other people don't do that and she will stop - in her own time.

A baby even that young takes in everything you do. So if you want her to have good manners and be respectful then you have to be like that too. She has copied you from the day she was born and will do right through her life - and if you have been a good example then she will teach her children those things that you taught her when she was young.

All the best with your daughter.

Answer 5

First of all, babies are not "naughty". She's too young to know any better! If you have items (like the books that you mentioned) that you don't want her to have, keep them out of reach. That's a habit YOU will have to learn.

Kids aren't mutes. They make noise, and lots of it! But that's a part of the joy of being a parent...

Answer 6

A 10 month old is not being naughty when she does things that are inappropriate. She is just learning about herself and the world around her. As her parent, it is your job to gently guide her towards behavior that is appropriate. Looking at books together is an excellent activity to help her with her vocabulary skills. Her noisiness as she reacts to noises is just part of developing the preliminary vocabulary skills she needs to begin talking. All the squeals, screams, blowing raspberries, and repeating sounds are her way of learning to make the sounds necessary to form words. Provide her with plenty of children's board books to look at. Read with her, point out things in the pictures using descriptive words as you go ("Look, there is a yellow sun.") Babies who are quite mobile need constant supervision as they explore their world. Make sure your home is baby-proof. Get down on her level and take note of any cords, sharp corners, electrical outlets, fragile knick knacks, etc, that need to be put up or covered. Occassionally you will come across a baby who is pretty "low-maintanence" and is happy playing quietly with whatever toys you give her and stays wherever you put her. But, most 10 month olds are on the go, touching everything, putting things in their mouths, ripping paper, being loud, and are very strong-willed. The best thing you can do for your baby is teach her by example. If she is in a restaurant being loud, tell her "In the restaurant we must use our quiet voices." Use your quiet voice, pack plenty of things in the diaper bag to keep her interested while waiting to eat. If you want her to be gentle reading books, keep rip-able ones out of her reach until you are able to sit with her and show her how to turn the pages. Play with her on the floor, build with blocks (count the number as you build a tower), rock a baby doll, pretend to cook with play food, use a pretend phone to "call daddy", put shapes in a shape sorter toy (say the shape and color as you put them in their places), take her for walks, play music and dance with her. If she touches things she shouldn't or crawls someplace you don't want her to, then remove her from the area to a place that she is OK. Be positive, say, "You may not touch the computer buttons, but let's go to the family room and play with your musical radio." Be consistent. She will keep going back to the computer buttons and you must continue to distract her to an appropriate behavior. She will not understand the meaning of "no" for awhile and it often turns into a game anyway. She will need hands-on guidance and not just a verbal "no" for inappropriate behavior. Good habits take a long time to develop and require consistency, patience, and gentle guidance.

Answer 7

At 10 months, she is just trying to figure everything out. Each day brings new discoveries and adventures (some of which you may think are naughty). The best thing for you is to be consistent with her.

Answer 8

Children are loud.. there is no real way to get around that, especially at only 10 months.

All I can suggest is to be a good role model.. keep her busy with the task you want her to perform and don't laugh or react to her shreaking.

Answer 9

Well what do you think, the baby is barely 10 months old. Treat her with extreme care, and no yelling. I went to the store the other day, this young 4 year old boy wanted to buy candy, and you know what the mother said? "I aint buying you s.h.i.t." Bad parenting yes

Answer 10

What the?? Looking at books is naughty? What culture are you part of that doesn't allow babies to look at books?
