Hi , my daughter is 2. 4 months old and she does not talk to any relative or friend who comes home.. rather she behaves very badly and starts beating them ..

please help

hi Shweta Arora ! she could have some fear in mind regarding relatives. please talk it out . before they visit u, talk about them. share with her their names, how do u know them, name of their children,show her their pics etc. this would let her feel as if she knows them and they are not strangers . make her feel comfortable and give her time and space to open up and not force her to greet them or showcase her talent in front of them. hope this helps!

hey

hi. shikha.. thx for your suggestions ..I have tried all these things ..she behaves very normally before anybody comes.. she tells their names n is normally in a playful mood ..initially we thought it to be stranger anxiety ..but now this is worsening ..

Shweta please stop paying attention to her when guests come.. they would also understand she is a child. the more u would pay attention to her this behavior more she would get reinforcement to carry on with it. just request them to ignore too, she would be fine sooner or later.

ya we are also trying the reverse now.. thanks for d input

hi am a speech therapist.. this could be an behavioural issue too.. should be chckd out. if needed any help ping me privately.. thank u

u can try these tips 1 make her prepare for guest by making yer excited bysaying like aunty is cming... they will giv u choclates... voww we will enjoyy... like this. repeat this before u expecting guests 2. when guest comes u can tell them tht they offer her smthing her favourite things or toys... so she start liking them 3. she may be feeling tht when guest comes u nt pay attention to her and so reacting this way...

thanks a lot everyone for suggestion s ..will try tgese

I was in same boat a few months back except the beating part. I counseled my daughter a lot and told her nice stories about family and friends. I involve her in family pictures and whenever anyone plans to visit or vice versa I prepare her for that. even when we go to park everyday it is required so she could be more interactive. the last and most important thing is give her positive energy for 5 - 10 mins daily whenever she is asleep by creating vision of how u like to see her and she will start behaving that way. hope it will help!
