my neighbor said that my 9mos old baby is naughty.how could i discipline her?

Nine months old is way too young for discipline. Some babies are high needs, like they need more attention than others. My nephew was this way. Fortunately he had an older sister to entertain him so his mother could get a break ;) My son, who's 1 1/2 is always wanting to go outside to, he'll grab his shoes, put them on, and go towards the door repeating "outside outside outside". Now we have a special time to do outdoor activities. After lunch and in the evening. He knows when it's time! She's also discovering her voice. So that's the whole shouting thing. I remember trying to get my son to scream in a lower tone because we lived in an apartment. But that simply can not be done. Good luck!

hi mykykko, its only but natural that kids throw tantrums. even u and i wud have done so when we were kids. its just natural. as kids, they want love, affection and care. and more importantly attention. provide them all these and they will remain quiet. try to be with the kid as much as possible. things will be fine. all the best mike the lil smiley devil

Most of the children are naughty. You have naughty child it is good. Instead of disciplining her, you enjoy her naughtyness. As she is only 9 months old, it will not be fair to start teaching her this or that. This age is to enjoy for parents, neighbours etc. My only and only suggestion is to leave her at her own, do not impose restriction.

I wouldnt think that she is naughty, at that age their minds need to be constantly entertained, take her outside and play lots of games or go for a walk.

Babies want to have fun and be the focus of others.I don't think she is naughty,but she is lively. Does she still scream when you take her out?If not,she is ok and very healthy and just want to play. You must be patient with babies.Being parents is not easy.

we are on the same boat! my daughter shouts a lot! we get the impression that it is naughtiness of some sort. my family thinks she is dominant. but on the flip side of it, i think our daughters' behavior explain that they are developing persons. i think they shout or scream because it is an indication that their language abilities are being enhanced along with their motor control. yes, it is true indeed that they delight in themselves whenever they would discover that they could say something and hear what they are saying. to sum it up, the shouting thing marks the beginning of language or expression control. my baby likes to go outside too. she is very alert whenever she would hear a slight movement from the front door. she would get wiggly excited whenever i would carry her and open the door to head outside. this, again marks the development of their cognition. babies like to see a myriad of things-colors, shapes, and dimensions. they like to feel a variety of textures. they like to hear different sounds. in short, they like to explore using their senses, an act they could do well when they are outdoors. outdoors provide all kinds of experiences for them. so for suggestions, just let your child explore! let her discover things by herself! be a facilitator of learning! provide the oppurtunities for learning like the materials. the materials should be developmentally appropriate and age-appropriate. you cant give a 9month old a chess board and expect her to win. learn the stages of development and follow through with the proper activities. you could check the net for a lot of resources about the stages of cognitive development, emotional, language, etc. once you know the concepts, it is always easy to create your own activities for her. just talk to her a lot. make her see how you open your mouth. repetition also helps her memory. go outside and while walking her around, try to talk to her by identifying or labeling the things that you could see, feel, hear, and smell.
