Sometimes songs work and sometimes they don't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-practice-patience-with-your-older-infanttoddler#post-797667 Tue, 21 May 2013 10:55:00 +0000 mrsjazz 797667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We always have to put something in her hands for diaper changes now or she goes nuclear. We give her her toothbrush, blocks, her socks, anything that will stop the crying and screaming. And when she doesn't like the object you give her she throws it. It actually makes us both laugh to see her little temper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-practice-patience-with-your-older-infanttoddler#post-797664 Tue, 21 May 2013 10:53:42 +0000 mediagirl 797664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: hahaha. I have resorted to animal sounds - "What's a cow say? A cow says Moooooo" but even that doesn't help sometimes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-practice-patience-with-your-older-infanttoddler#post-797658 Tue, 21 May 2013 10:52:46 +0000 winniebee 797658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: blocks from the melissa &amp; doug shape shorter :) he had to hold them for the entire hour we went for a walk outside yesterday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-practice-patience-with-your-older-infanttoddler#post-797656 Tue, 21 May 2013 10:52:19 +0000 littlek 797656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: What are these magic blocks? And how do I get some?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-practice-patience-with-your-older-infanttoddler#post-797651 Tue, 21 May 2013 10:51:48 +0000 looch 797651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tried everything. What worked is singing a dress up song, to the tune of the wheels on the bus.</p> <p>The socks on the bus go on the feet, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-practice-patience-with-your-older-infanttoddler#post-797648 Tue, 21 May 2013 10:50:47 +0000 mediagirl 797648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlek: "it's awesome." Yup. I'm there with you. Know what is also awesome? When she decides she doesn't want to be on the floor anymore. Nowhere is better than in her mom's arms, whether I am cooking over a hot stove or peeing. If I don't hold her? Flailing and whining and following me...then flopping. Oh yeah. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-practice-patience-with-your-older-infanttoddler#post-797647 Tue, 21 May 2013 10:50:40 +0000 winniebee 797647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Subscribing. My LO is obsessed with these wooden blocks lately, so it seems that if he is holding them, then the world is a better place and he might - just MIGHT - tolerate a diaper change. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-practice-patience-with-your-older-infanttoddler#post-797640 Tue, 21 May 2013 10:49:05 +0000 littlek 797640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Now that LO is almost one, he has a stubborn streak that is coming out. He is almost impossible to get dressed in the morning, he flails his arms, cries, arches his back. It's awesome. LOL. I have to keep telling myself to be patient, but it can be sooooo frustrating. How do you keep your cool during temper tantrums? </p>
