Help me nip this behaviour in the bud

[MyDdiva]

My 11 month DD has got into the habit of crying like you've murdered her entire family when you tell her not to do something. So her thing at the moment is spitting her water out like a fountain, and when I tell her "no, don't do that" she screams the house down. I'm always tempted to pick her up and console her but I don't because I don't think that will send the right message. But I don't know what I should be doing. Is this just classic baby tantrums? How can I nip it in the bud now before she's that child rolling around on the floor in Tesco?

She's 11 months - I would stop telling her no, just ignore the behaviour and redirect her interest to something else.

As pp said re direct, she won’t understand much at this point.
just to point out unfortunately whatever you do you may still have a child having a meltdown in tescos, little children don’t know how to regulate emotions like us adults, it’s not about nipping it in the bud but about holding the boundary and understanding this.

No need to create unnecessary conflict at age 11 months. Try & chill out a bit & just enjoy being a parent. There is so much more to come! She’s 11 months old. Every day is a learning curve for her. Go with the flow!!

There’s nothing at all wrong with a young child rolling around in Tesco having a tantrum! Every child i know had a tantrum(s) in public at some stage.

I have 4 kids and they have all done that (many times 😖)- it was stressful and annoying - but they are a little older now and no longer do that. nothing to do with me ‘nipping the behaviour in the bud’. - just a combination of them maturing and me talking to them about why they should behave a particular way - and how their good & bad behaviour makes other people feel.

My youngest is 4 and gets up to all sorts of ‘bad’ behaviour- but i try to let it wash over me - tell her the correct way to behave - and mostly wait it out until she gets a but older and calms down, hopefully!

Thank you for your replies, I obviously need to chill out a bit!
