How to control the crying of the kids?

Different things work for different children. I have one that could cry all day long, to get him calmed down I have to hold him tight and or rock him. If it is in a store and your child is crying for a toy or a snack then you have to find something at home you can take away from him. Find a way that you can also reward him for good behavior. Prior to taking my children into any store I talk with them. I tell them what we are going in to get and that we will not be getting any toys etc. And IF they behave while we are in the store I need to go to, if mommy does not have to count to three while we are in there you can pick out one piece of candy or snack in the snack isle as we leave. Or I will reward them by going to the dollar store so that they can pick out a dollar toy. If I count no reward. I have very few melt downs in stores..

I have two boys (ages 2 and 1) and I know what you mean. The best thing I've found is to just say no firmly and leave it at that. My 2 year old carries on crying for a bit but I'd rather he got the message than expect a toy on every outing. If you're like me and worry what other people think - don't. It's none of their business and it's not like you've hit your child your just putting your foot down, firmly.

Do not worry about just letting your kid cry after you have said no. As a person without children it makes me proud when parents stand their ground after telling their kids no. You are teaching your child responsibility, that you mean business, and how to spend wisely when you say no and mean it. Honestly the only time a child's cry is anoying is when the parent gives in after saying no. When I have my nephew that is the age to still do this I tell him that he can either stop crying or he will be in time out when we get home. Because I am his aunt I always have fun things for him to play with at home and he usually stops crying because he knows I will put him in time out and he will not get to play with his cool things.
