11 month old DD. How to stop the behavior.

[Poppetfish]

DD is 11.5 months and I am not sure how to disapline her.

She has started trying to get DS into trouble. I was watching them play from around the corner today and saw this unfold.

DS gave DD a big kiss on the cheek. DD looked at him laughed and then lay down. She then started screaming really loud.

She has done this a couple of times because she has learnt that i will give her kisses if she is hurt. Once she even did it when DS was on the other side of the room.

I was thinking of just picking DS up and cuddle him but he gets upset because he was playing.

What should i do?

I wouldn't worry about it, she is only 11 months , and if you don't pay attention to it she will probably forget all about it soon.

Sounds cute.

i agree...dont worry about it...she is only 11 months...just ignore it.or maybee laugh and say" oh look ds is giving you kisses" " your ok" then dont pay attention to it.

It happened today when DS wasn't even in the room. :confused:

what do you mean hun...what did she do?....remember that 11 months is about the age that little ones realize that they are a seperate person to you and that they can influence things...at the same time at such a young age they dont "really" do it on purpouse like a 4 or 5 year old would.....Is she getting lots of your attention in good situations....or are you very busy with other things when she is doing her little stage show...it sounds like attention seeking at an 11 month old level to me...little people believe that the whole world revolves around them...thats just how nature is. its not till about 5 that they realize "hey everyones not my slave" i think just gentle guidence and disstraction may help.When she does a turn, try and distract her away from it with something interesting...a toy, a bird flew by the window....hey ive even said "LOOK A GIANT COW IS IN THE TREE"..AMAZING HOW MANY TIMES LITTLE EYES WILL LOOK...LOL

:iagree: That is what I would do.

Around this age bubbies seem to start developing their own personality and really start coming into themselves. Sounds like your little girl has a bit of a cheeky streak in her :laughing: which is sooo cute...I know it must frustrate you but I wouldn't worry about it, I'd just ignore it like the PP said.

I'm not really sure if you can discipline a child so young...I didn't start using discipline of any kind until my daughter was 2 and even then it was hard as she never actually responded positively to any discipline until she was past the 2.5 year mark.

is she screaming because she wants a kiss? If so just kiss her :)

DS used to do this and I thought is was odd because I kiss him alllll the time. Probably why he loves to smooch other kids:o. I just kissed him and said you don't have to hurt yourself to get kisses. He went through a phase where he'd lightly pinch us and then say Aidan kiss it better. Again we explained he didn't need to pinch us to give us a kiss. I thought it was totally cute. He's quite funny actually, he'll walk backwards hit something then come running up with a big smile on his face and say Mummy kiss it better:laughing:

is she screaming because she wants a kiss? If so just kiss her :)

I was going to say the same thing.

Sorry to gatecrash your thread but what about an 11 month old who constantly does things she gets in trouble for?

DD will climb over the lounge to DH's computer and 'play' with it even though she gets a tap on the hand off DH when she does it.

She also does this with our CDs and DVDs, or purposefully pulling the battery plug out of my laptop or pulling things off the coffee table.

Sometimes when DH gives her a tap on the hand she just laughs at him and does it again.

How do you teach them no?

My dd is the same:laughing: she is always doing this horrid (cat like) screaming I go running in because I think she could be hurt nah she just wants ds's book, car or what ever he has:shame:
If he wont hand it over she starts wailing like dying animal.
I feel for poor ds he had me on his own for so long and he's quite full on but not in your face demanding like dd.
I dont think there is anything that can be done as their too young I just keep on saying play nice, share:rolleyes: and she then looks at me with a cheeky smile and screams again with a huge grin on her face:laughing::p
Demanding Diva's what can we do with them

hi Zephani.... its sounding much the same just a different way of going about it...at that age its all about distraction.... your bubby is just learning that she can do these things and get your attention...its fun to her....wether its good attention or bad, she feels soooo powerfull to be able to influence you like this...distracting away from the negative with a possitive will work...although it may take a few times....my dd 15 months recently went through a pulling out all the cds phase...i would just say no then pick them up...she would help put them back to...i said she was a good girl putting them back. and then i would get something else of hers or take her to another room to distract her mind...she doesnt get into them anymore....but it wont stop the first time...you have to keep at it.....lol....realistically for atleast the next 15 years..
