how are you as a parent??

Your pretty young and it is hard being a young parent its not that you are doing anything wrong its just harder at that age than when you are older. I had kids at 20 and 30 and being 30 was alot easier than being 20 believe me. She just sounds like the typical baby to me I know everyone says terrible two but my kids were pretty mellow at age two but hyper until they got there. just hang in there and remember to enjoy it because before you know it she will be a teenager than the real troubles start believe me.

The best thing to do is let her know that you are the parent and that has to be some rules and guidelines. When she throws things or throws a tantrum put her in time out for 2-3 minutes I have found that that hurts mine more than anything they to to sit still for that time even she screams and cries just stand your ground and let her know what she is in time-out for.

well yeah its true parenting is a challenging role and at the same time very hard, no school for this that can teach you on but only basing on your maternal instinct as a mom and what youve been trough when still a child. A s for me i have encounter all those things that youve mentioned, and all my children are grown ups and when ill try to look back on those days when theyre still young i cant help to wonder and asked myself about"did i really raised 4 kids" thats tough i guess, but thanks to mom i guess she help me through those times when they are difficult to handle.

Def. invest in some baby gates! You would never forgive yourself if something happened and she fell down those stairs. Remember, your the parent, it doesn't matter if she wants to go up and down the stairs, she doesn't need to get what she wants. As far as the tantrums, it'll get better. Just ignore them, or put her in a time out. Distraction works well at this age. Whatever you do, do not give in to her tantrums, or you will be reinforcing her bad behavior. Good luck. I'm sure it'll get better soon. ALso, get yourself a break. Get a sitter, your hubby or boyfriend, or a friend to watch her for 3 hours, so you can go out by yourself. Everyone needs time away some times, and there's no shame in that.

It is normal to get frustrated when you are not sure what your child wants , when they seem to have what they want or only seem to want what they can't have . It sometimes can be hard to see past all this especially when you are tired or just having a bad day but just try to remember this is your child's way of telling you what is wrong , and you have to take the time to try to understand what the problem really is . Try to take a few minutes to move your child's intersts to something else as I small child can usually switch their interests in a matter of seconds . Boredom is a big thing when a child is getting on your nerves , they are bored but don't know how to explain this to you as they are too young and wouldn't understand the feeling themselves . You can try anything new or different , take out some old pots and pans you have around the house and see if this will hold your chid's attention . Take out some old books or something that you are not interested in should it get ruined such as a magazine with pictures in it that your child can look at the pictures and possibly rip up , anything that is new and different will get your child's attention long enough to maybe let you get something done . There will always be some kind of mess and this takes time and patience to realize that you are not the only one around anymore and to learn to not let this bother you as much . Take each moment as it comes and just try to keep in mind that your child is only little for such a short period of time and that one day you will look at all of this and wish your baby was still a baby again . Do the best you can with what you have and that is all anyone can ask of you . Don't beat yourself up when you are tired or frustrated as this happens to all parents at some point as our children didn't come with a manual to help us through these times . Best of luck .

as i m parent i m love my gid as much as possible and give him/her every that he/she want to enjoy life

For a start, i think the smartest thing for anyone to do in relation to multi level houses is to put in gates - top & bottom, it's not right to allow a child to be able to run up & down stairs - it's dangerous, especially for one of your daughter's age. Take some time out, tantrums will stop if you ignore the constant screaming until they get their own way. You have no choice but to clean up her messes, you chose to become a mother & that is one of the many jobs that comes along with parenting! You're not failing but remember not to give in, don't get angry, just walk away & when they realise their crying is getting nowhere, they will stop!

My daughter is just like your daughter. She's so hyper like she doesn't get tired. She's like that eversince she is 10 months old. When she turned one year old, she fell from the stairs from the top of it to the lowest step. I thank God because she did not suffer anything serious. Kids are just that.They love to explore things. Everything around them are something new so they want to get a closer look to it. It can be frustrating at times especially when you are too tired and yet, your baby just wouldn't stop in one place and you will have to follow them because they might get hurt. But sooner you will be amazed how fast they grow and your little baby is soo big that you'll miss following her around. Just enjoy every moment that you are with your kid and when they grow up, this moments will be your treasure.

Temper tantrums by kids are common, making parenting job one of the most difficult. When your little girl is sober and meek, and usually it happens when you tuck her to bed and she's sleepy, you talk to her, hug her gently, then talk to her about the "episode" when she screams and cries hard. Explain to her that there are things that she cannot always get, and that she does not have to scream because it is not good, etc. Gentle persuasions will sometimes do the trick. Always make it a point to explain to her a lot of things so that she would soon understand. Also, set a simple routine for her: time for sleeping, playing, watching TV, and time to play with her. . bonding with your kid does not happen overnight. . .it is an ongoing special moment with your kid, and the more that you spend time with her, the less hyper she becomes.

Being a parent is no easy task. Especially when you are a single parent. I have two children and both at times can make me pull my hair out and run for the border. My children are spoiled. My mom played a large part in spoiling my son, and I played a major part in spoiling my daughter, the younger child. They use to throw the worse tantrums and give me back-talk. To discipline them I would just put them on punishment, or make them go to their run and not come out until they cool off. The best parenting advice I received to handle my parenting skills better were from my older friends who were single parents, too. They told me to make my child my friend and really listen to my children. Explain to them what the rules of the house was and why...It's for their own good. When they behave themselves reward them with something really nice, and tell them if they continued on good behavior they would get longer curfews or little extra allowance. However, if they are being unruly and dis-respectful towards me, whip their butt and explain to them this this is for their own good...I should mention my children are a lot older, and my relationship with them have improved a great deal.

When I read your post the only thing that I could think of is my daughter who is only 1 and already acting as though she is going through the terrible two. I think that kids just like to test us alot. Even at the age of 7 months they are trying to see how we are going to respond to them. Give it time, I think that you must be a great mother. To be able to deal with the things that kids tend to do is a great start. Give it time you'll be fine and don't forget to do alot of breathing.

as a parent i have sacrificed many things including myself. My son is the most important thing to me not now but forever. I would give anything for him. I have done everything to help my wife and i always remember when we were married the priest told us to love each other the most. I love her so much and my son.
