My lil one is 2 yrs old and most of the time he is cranky.Whenever he wants anything he cries a lot and he knows once when he cries we give him everything.It is very difficult if it goes on like this and he gets used to this. I don't know how to control this,if someone could help me how to make my child less cranky and enjoy with being what he has |

Don't attend to him immediately even if he is going to cry louder. Whenever he cries tell him you will understand only hen he speaks and not cry. One more thing that really worked for my nephew is to ignore for few minutes until he is calm and then distract him.

Hi, I totally understand your problem as i also have a son in the same age.. Please tell your son that you'll be able to understand what he says only if he talks and not cries. So be firm and tell him that he should talk and not cry for everything and you'll listen to him only then.. Initially it might be difficult but consistency can work magic with kids.. Also kids at this stage do not understand anything being done in the future. If they want something done, it has to be NOW and they can't understand even if you say i'll do it once i finish something at the kitchen.. Also please don't give your kid too many restrictions as it is bound to irritate them. just make sure they don't get into anything dangerous or unsafe.. Otherwise just leave them to explore even if it means making a mess of something.. Cos thats how they learn.. And last but not least kids love to see us react when they irritate us... so instead of shouting at them or raising our voice, we have to sound firm and give them an impression that such things won't agitate us too much.. you can choose to react or not according to the situation

hi sushgiri, a lovely question being asked by you :) . first of all we need to understand , crying is not wrong. the child is highlighting his emotions and this is the only way he knows. also the most important thing we need to know is , why the child is behaving in this manner. many a times we dont get into the depth, and land up having problems how to deal with situation. if the child is crying let him cry , dont speak to him at that point of time , as he is not ready to take in anything. once he is quiet , listen, speak to him and explain him where he is wrong. he willl surely understand . give it a try :)
