Answer 2

Like everyone else, I am wondering why you are expecting a 3 year old to not just be quiet - but to "shut up". 3 year olds wont shut up. They are full of questions and curiocity. It sounds like your child might be getting some of fulfillment through Dora - but REALLY craves this from you. Why are you having the TV babysit your child - why aren't you spending time with them? Do you resent them? Why?
There are a ton of things that you can do with your child where you can learn to love being with your child and your child will be all the happier for it: Inside (make craft projects, cook, clean) and outside of the house (go to the park or zoo) - you could even arrange play dates with other parents with children of the same age - this way you have other adults to talk to and your child learns to interact with others their age.
None of these suggestions fit who you are? Try putting your child in pre-school for a couple of hours a week. This might give you the mommy time you need, giving you the opportunity to be more prepared for your child when they return.
Again, after reading a few of the comments, I am not certain if you are the mommy or the sitter. If you are the mommy, I would talk to daddy about allowing you an opportunity for a break. You may even need to speak to someone about your anger problem. It is better to ask for help before something out of control happens. If you are the sitter, you need to apologize to the parents and resign your position. You are not ready for the responsibility that you have been given.

Answer 3

How long did it take her to learn how to talk? I mean honestly...picture that moment when she said her first word and how happy you were! now picture those moments when she was crying and you had absolutely no idea what was wrong. Which is better? Aren't you happy that she can express what is making her life happy (in the case dora the explorer)? How would you feel if you were talking to your mom about something that truly made you happy and all of a sudden she was like "SHUT UP!" trying get her to be quiet is telling her that you don't care! When she is a teenager you will be desperate to know what is going on her life...develope a bond that makes her want to tell you!

Answer 4

Put in a tape of dora the explorer. Or play a game with her.

Answer 5

Should you be watching this child if all you're focused on is making her "SHUTUP?" Children express themselves in different ways, and if this particular 3 year old loves to talk, let her talk. Have a conversation with her. Get an old phone and pretend you're talking to her on the phone, or play some music and sing along.

Answer 6

what do you mean A 3 YEAR OLD? i guess shes not yours? if she isnt then you shouldont be minding her,if she is then play with her,watch Dora with her or just spend some time with her,kids at that age need a lot of attention or they get bored,so try the above then you wont need to SHUT HER UP.as you put it!!!!!

Answer 7

Sit down and watch Dora with her. Play with her. Give her something to munch on, nothing suguray though. Then she'll never be quite.

Answer 8

Hi
A child should never be made to shut up since three years is an age when they expand their vocabulary in leaps and bounds. She can be distracted by giving some interesting tasks.. she can be enrolled in some classes where she will meet her peers and have a good time. talking to them
Best of luck for good parenting.

Answer 9

Well, you didn't say much about WHY she needs to shut up, but most likely she just needs to be entertained. I can't exactly offer too much advise because I don't understand the problem.

But if you think she talks too much.....you should be grateful because talking means she has some intelligence. But if you mean that she cries too much or whines too much, she might just need to burn some energy. Get her some toys that will use energy or take her to a playground or have playdates and things like that if you know other kids.

Answer 10

First off you should never say " How do i make my 3yr old shut up" that is just sick, be glad that she is healthy and happy and chatty that's a great sign

As for dora, try and focus her attention on another cartoon or object.

But it's partents like you that are what make me sick and its parents like you that should not be parents.

Answer 11

tape her dora the explorer shows and let her watch them. Or have her help you cook or something. Tickle her lol
