when i have a child, i will first take care of him myself, and pay much attention to my own words,and give him an atomasphere in which he knows that i love him.i also will play with him and solve probloms with him,and speak as much to him.for i see a report that the more a parent speak to the child ,the more quickly will he develop. his brain and intelligence(of course , the words shouldn't be rude but educatinal )every night before he goes to bed ,i will tell interesting story to him.I also give him as many opprtunity to express himself and respect his idea.when he grows older, i will teach him play a lot of games which, of course will not only give him entertainment but also develope his potential, you know to know a child's potential is so important to his future development. hope you will be the best mother!

Hi mari, It is something strange. He is 8 months old and you are expecting that he not listening you. He is most little king of his childhood. He is taking start of his life. He will start to call you papa first. But for this happy moment you would practice and prove you as good father. Give him full attention and love and get his positive respond. He is in the stage of his age that you give your attention and you should listen and understand him. Yes it is your duty papa of your baby. It is your responsibility. The time will come when you will provide him a good track for his better future. But let me repeat it that you are expecting that he should listen you. Don’t worry. Give him love and stay to get it back in your future.

Children below the under the age of two rarely listen to anyone... they are just too curious to let anyone stop them from exploring the world... I think there is no way for you to control his behavior... he is just a child...he is curious... the best way is to guide the child through your own behavior... I have an 18 month old baby and she never listens...

At 8 months you can not control him as he is just too young. The best thing you can do is to remove all dangerous things that he might hurt him self. If something means a lot to you put it away just because you tell him dont tuch that that is very expencive he wont stop doing it. If you tell his stop crying he does not understand why he should do it. Enjoy you baby he is baby only once in his life before you know it you will be taking him to school.

I am a mother for three kids. Eldest son is 11, second boy for 10 and daughter 4 years old. My husband always ask me to lesson them with psychological affections. With no body contact punishment but with more on voice control. The voice of tone something up and down that came make them in control. When they do not listen to our control of order, mean they use less on hearing sense. To help this weakness on them , the eye contact couple up with voice control does help to solve this kind of situation and problem. The functional eye contact.
