Hello /k parents,

I need some tips and guides if you have experienced it before (i bet you do)

My son is 1 year and 6 mos but he is so naughty and active

1. Firstly

Recently he doesn't want to eat and we are not sure why. His food schedule is weekly rotated so I am sure there is no prob with his diet.

But he is teething and been drooling quite bad (not the first tooth, almost complete set) - I am guessing the reluctance due to this? if yes, whats your method to overcome this? feed him soft foods such as jelly, ice cream etc?

2. Secondly

As mentioned above, the little guy quite naughty and active so sometimes I cant really stand the tantrum and screaming etc. I know that we just need to let go or perhaps ignore his behaviour but its becoming worst which I have started to scold him sometimes which I don't want that cuz i am not a bad father. I am well aware of the psychological effect on the toddler's mind if we keep on screaming and scolding so i really dont want that.

How do you overcome the tantrum situation? or this is quite normal and let it be?

Appreciate in advance for your response.

Thanks

u gonna have high blood pressure if u keep screaming to the child, come on rejoice a little bit.

If he is active then consider it to be a good problem.

Perhaps you might want to bring him out and do some activities that involves him walking, running and crawling a lot more. Perhaps bring him to a park where he could run his legs out, wear off that energy a bit.

At that age no amount of scolding or shouting will work, instead if he is throwing a tantrum due to being unable to get something try distracting him away from what he was after and keep at it.

At this age kids are simply discovering what and who they are. You scolding won't do anything beyond expressing your own annoyance, not that he cares anyway.


Is the food you feeding him having a smell that he does not like? Try something different and at that age you can start giving some adult food, just use a scissors to cut it into smaller pieces. Let him eat what you are eating.

Some babies are simply that picky.

In regard to the teeth, do check the condition of his teeth, perhaps one of his tooth has an infection and it is pain for him to eat thus he refuses food.

Also has there been any type of change in circumstance around the house recently? Are you always quarreling with the mother? At that age kids do become sensitive to such things and could react to it that way.

My advise? Watch your own temper first and be patient.
