1st rule in taking care of children. Keep calm. Most people just blow their fuse the moment they hear crying. I have taught children before and when they dont listen, I just keep my calm. In your case, maybe your nephew is just overly attached to his mom. Have him talk with her over thr phone
Convince him it's apple juice, my sister tried it on me and succeeded when I was in that age range, I wasn't crying, but she thought it was a great idea.
what if the girl start searching on your computer and find your porn just saying that you need to keep a eye on the girl
Tell the kid, "I was once a crying kid like you, but then your grandmother left me in the belly of a sperm whale. I can do the same to you." BTW, you shouldn't have made it clear his mommy was gone. To kids that age, even if their parents are in the house next door, they feel like their parents are on the other side of the world. You should've instead tell him that his mommy is away fighting dragons. Tell him that if he's a good boy, his mommy will bring home dragon chop (which looks really similar to chicken chop) or dragon steak (which looks very similar to beef steak) but dragons are for big boys and big boys don't cry that hard. Don't forget to call your sister to bring home any takeaway dish that is meat while calling it dragon meat. Also since you're already calling his mom, let him talk to her.
Put his favorite cartoon on to watch. My nephew loves kungfu panda or caillou I just play it on the background until he notices. Then he'll just sit down with his blanket or toy or drink juice or milk while watching. Edit: if you were close enough you could carry or play with him. Playing airplane is nice if you're strong enough to keep it up.
Also dont make empty threats on children.they can smell weakness. Better to say other things than threatening them with something that you wont do.
yeah, my niece seems to like my mom (her grandma) a lot. So if my mom ever leaves when she is around I got to tell her some bs story that my mom is buying her candy or some shit. And for like 30 minutes she just climbs up the couch and stares out the window. Waiting for my mom to come back :/
Well I don't have experience with kids, but with my mom's dog and my cat it helped, if I spray them with some water, if they did something "wrong / bad", if they behave "good" they get some treats I see no reason why that shouldn't work with kids tbh :<
classic to OP: let him tire himself out. If you don't really know the kids well, you can only go with the stuff that'll always work. Kids get tired easily, and they get distracted easily. Unless he has some form of autism, in which case you're fucked. They are stubborn as hell. If you know the kid, you can talk about things they like to distract them, and figure out if you should use a soft or a hard attitude. For now, though, you should tell the little shit to calm down in a firm but not angry voice, tell him it ain't OK to throw shit and that if he continues, he isn't getting any ice cream/candy/supper. If he then chooses to continue, you follow through. This is important. FOLLOW THROUGH ON EVERYTHING YOU SAY Kids remember EVERY SINGLE THING you do. Your every act and word imprinting themselves irrevocably on their tiny, pristine minds. If you back off a single time, you are hurting your own position in the childs heart, and being a bad influence on the child. Raising kids is hard work. But babysitting them is really only about a few things; Be firm. Don't get angry. Follow through with rewards and punishments, always, no matter the cost. As long as you do this, you'll be alright.
Uh Oh..is he still crying? Keep your calm (though it can feel like you want to strangle the little monster!). Talk to him in a calm voice. Do you have any chocolates (or eye catching sweets/cake whatever is edible and looks interesting) at home? Wag a piece of it in front him. You can try eat it in front of him to "show " him chocolate is delicious.If possible give his sister some too-in front of him. That should hopefully distract him. Keep your voice calm and nonchalant. Once he is distracted check whether he has pooped in his pants-keep talking to him while you check his diaper. If he needs to be changed call your sister. If not, try to feed him some milk/water. Keep talking through what you are doing. If he stops crying (stage when he is taking sobbing breaths, sniffling), try to wipe his face with some water. You can try taking him to the bathroom /kitchen tap/bath tub and let him take some tissues from the box himself (they like being in control ) then let him do it himself. You can assist him, but ALWAYS talk to him before you do it in a calm voice. If he is calmed down enough, then you can attempt to give him crayons, cuddly toys etc. When your sister comes back-RIP IT AT HER. you are entitled for that Good luck
Okay, he keeps calming down and then crying again. This kid is very unstable, he doesn't pay any heed to my words.
