Hi mummies
Hi blue, so happy to hear that Jordon has recovered so well and so fast!
Hi Funny, may I know if your friend who's using the Choice Baby found it effective? Me made an appointment to check it out this saturday leh ;p
Topic: Method of minimising the screaming and crying when stopping play
Oh, I found this method rather useful for Caelen so wanted to share with you
You know how some of our babies would do the scream and cry when it's time to put the toys away, or when we stopped them while they were engrossed in doing something?
I read that sometimes it was because we did not give them sufficient notice before we take the toys away. Therefore they did not have the mental preparation to stop playing and became upset.
So what I do now is, just
before I want him to stop, I would tell Caelen clearly "this is the
last time, after this no more". I would then allow him to play one last time before carrying him away. If he tried to protest, I would remind him "mummy said last time already, tell __(toy) bye bye". Caelen seemed to take it really well! Sometimes he would even say 'bye bye' to the toy as we leave. Now I even do it when I bathe him (last time he would cry when we suddenly carry him out of the tub) and when we give him a snack
It works!
You can try it!
