Now, today when my younger one cries I see her telling her " baby dnt cry n make a happy face, den mumma can discuss with u about Wat u want" :D

Uffff this remind me of my girl, an year back... Everyday after school she would start crying for some silly thing, and she could go on for hours... I used to just tell her "baby I don't understand crying, u can cry for an hour and come to me and we can talk, mumma dsnt want to talk to a crying baby" , she would cry for almost an hour, run behind me crying and I would just put on some music and ignore... Later she used to stop n come and ask with a happy face and then we could negotiate... Try to tell ur daughter that u wud listen only if she has a happy face, and give her reasons why all her demands can't met... It can get highly irritating, but u wud need a lot of patience to let this work...

thank u Archana :-)

the first thing you do when she cries is walk out. of course she will come.behind you because she needs your attention, that's why all this crying is happening. so when she does come to you, tell her to talk to you only when she stops crying and pretend you don't understand a word of what she is saying while crying. she will take a few tries but will give in. once she is quiet, ask her to talk to you. if you can fulfil her need, do it. if you can't, talk to her politely. if she still does not agree and starts crying again, go back to step 1 and ask her to stop crying as u can't understand what she is talking. then again tell her no, and that she is a grown up girl now and should understand when Mumma says no. it is also sometimes a phase, so curb it before it becomes a behaviour pattern. hug her , calm her, do every thing it takes, but never agree after u have said no for something.
