[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nanny again - I would also try reasoning with her instead of just ignoring the screaming. She’s old enough to understand “I can’t pick you up when you’re screaming, when you’re finished, please come find me” and walk away. Repeat. [/quote] I would not walk away from an inconsolable child - that does not teach them how to calm down. The kid needs help learning how to calm down. It’s just important not to give in and pick them up.[/quote] She just said it. Are you blind or don't comprehend? Even 15 months old understands. Nobody can calm down a child. You can tell the child, it's ok to be sad, it's ok to be angry (kid has a tantrum and doesn't know to control its emotions) sit down here. When you feel better you are welcome to come play. The child needs space to.calm down. With time it will learn that bad moments will pass. You just need a calm space to cry it out and calm down by yourself Tell to your baby, can you wait please? Respect your baby/toddler, even if they don't talk they can understand you.[/quote]
