For temper tantrums: ignore it. Giving him attention for it will basically make him learn that “if I whine, mommy will give me attention”. When he stops getting that positive reward for the tantrum he will learn to find it another way which is where you can start rewarding him for desirable behavior. Reward is a much stronger motivator than punishment which is why it’s easier to teach a new behavior than extinguish an old one. Operant conditioning is a great tool!

I don't have a kid yet, but I would think ignoring the bad things they do and praising the good things is a good start :D

I have three children who are school age now. I preferred acknowledgement of feelings. Like "oh no you fell down, what should we do?" Oh no mommy had to get you down. Lets go play" I feel like kids need to learn coping skills too and he is so young. I tried being mostly postive about things and saved the assertiveness for safety. When you are postive they evenutally learn that no means no and things happen but it will be okay. Good luck. He is too cute girl! ❤

Tight hugs for temper tantrums are the best! I always explained to my son "why not" so we would not feel frustrated and not understood. I really thought he was too little to understand, however, surprisingly he understood most of the times.

can you make a video about birth control

I teach my daughter (10mo) sign language so that she can communicate what she needs to us. She have just taught her a few words (eat, drink, all done, more, milk). It helps to minimize the outbursts.

It's always nice to watch your vlogs Jenny thank you❤️

I love your vlogs...this is just me on tantrums....it's baby's way of telling you he's either tired, hungry, sick or just wants your company, and cuddles. Baby can't speak or enunciate for himself how to communicate and I don't believe a baby can be manipulative. He just wants you there for him no matter what. I learn so much from you! Thank you so much for sharing your life!! Love from a wanna be but never will be a doctor. Jeanie

Love your vlogs!!! Such an inspiration!!!

Hy Jenny you are such an inspiration for me..i don't know how you do it:) I'm finishing medical school in a month and i don't know what to choose...I wish u all the best!

I love seeing Wyatt in your vlogs. He’s such a cutie. I’m not a mom but I’m an Auntie. I think he’ll eventually grow out of the tantrums. I know it’s hard but try to ignore him. Don’t give in Momma! Love y’all 😍

Great video! More vlogs!!

My daughter is the same age (was 1 on 2nd May), she's my third & I think when they are this young distraction is best for tantrums, great videos, love the DITLs

When he gets a bit older try 1 minute time outs, he will learn not to do it really quickly. Love your videos 😍😍😍

One way I deal with my daughter tantrums when she was passed the age of 1 where she doesn’t know much but still knows a lot was to let her have her tantrum and explain to her that it was okay to feel angry and upset, however when she did something wrong I started the time outs with me in the room at first and then by herself. She is now 2 1/2 and she understand very well when she is doing thing she is not supposed to and I rarely have any tantrums although they are still present. If we go to a kids fun place and she doesn’t want to leave one thing I do it’s before getting to the place (although I feel kind of silly) I let her know we will stay there for certain amount of time and then we are going to leave, I will repeat this many time until we get to the place the. When we are leaving and she is having her moment I let her have it and then ask her to remember when mommy said it was time to leave and then we’ll come back another day, so there is a lot of negotiations with the tantrums age. Good luck to you. Love your videos, I am a pre nursing student with goal of becoming a doctor one day, you videos help a lot. Also you have a beautiful baby and a beautiful family. Thank you for the time and effort in KZfaq.

Heeey. This is honestly my second time watching you and I really feel like i can trust the information that you convey to your subscribers which now I’m one of 😍 Right now I’m 15 and a half and I’ve been thinkig and LOVING radiology and thinking of being a radiologist in the future hopefully. I really want your opinion on radiology and whether it could be good for me or not and just give me some pros and cons of being part of it ❤️ Edit: i know you’re not a radiologist but probably you see some radiologist around ?!

Another amazing and awesome video. Got to love them even when they have tantrums.

Yay, I did my first trigger point injections yesterday; in her left arm. Pretty fun.

Here in Norway a primary doctor do most things as well. All the things you said is done in the primary doctor clinics. Its more up to the doctor, some that haven't been in the field for that long my referee more.

Don't use the word "no" at this age. He is too young. Say uh-uh. He wants to be a helper. Make it fun! Let's close the cabinet Wyatt. Can you help me? Give him directions. He is smarter than you realize. Treat him as such and you will see his temperament change.

I didn’t know you can get a Pap smear with primary care physicians! That’s pretty awesome. Thanks for the heads up 🙌

Love your videos

I live in Oregon it’s always super rainy weather!

The thing about tantrums is they serve a purpose..not sure what lol..and just let it happen and ignore that behavior. He will come to understand throwing tantrums won't get him anywhere. He's too young to reason with and too young to understand time out concept just yet. He is really about wanting to be with you. So just let it happen and do your best to ignore it. Hes so cute!

Jenny I have a 2 year old and the tantrums are REALLL!! I wanted to shop at Marshall’s just her and I and I could not get her in the shopping cart because she was throwing a fit and kicking all over!😳😨 finally I was able to do it and tried to do some retail therapy haha

I need those glasses

Nice vlog was removing the cyst easy as it seems?

I have found the best way to stop tantrums is do not give them the attention in a tantrum, and never give them what they are screaming for. Example: In the grocery store and you see a toddler on the floor screaming for something. The parents are embarrassed and want to quiet the child, so they get the child what they are screaming for. This will teach them to scream for what they want. Sometimes they throw tantrums due to being tired, but the name, " temper tantrum ", they are angry they didn't get their way. Just don't give in to rhe tantrums and he won't be doing it at 4 or 5.

That tpi reminded me of my lupron injections I used to get 😣 it hurt!!

tHAT KID IS SOOO CUTE

Awww really enjoyed watching this video! I saw the notification and immediately took a break from MCAT studying lol

Dr. Jenny how long it takes for family medicine doctors to pay off med school debt? Maybe make a videos on that. Like everybody says they don't earn as much compared to other specialities. Love your videos :)

Whatever you decide to do- time out when acting out, gold coins when good, etc., be consistent. I know consistency is hard, but Wyatt will act out more if he knows sometimes his temper tantrums get him what he wants. He'll start thinking that he has to be louder to get your attention and for you to give in.

Do you work with any PA's? If so, can you speak to what their scope of practice is?

Is both are doctors?so how they take care of baby?

Wyatt is such a cutie

You seem to be doing great with your son. I don't know how you have time for all of this...

Is family med outpatient clinic usually that diverse in terms of procedures? I sometimes hear people talk about how it’s almost all diabetes/obesity management.

Hi dr.Le! U and ur husband seem to balance child care really well! What does ur husband do career wise or does he stay at home with cute little Wyatt?

What OMT did you do? I'm a second year DO student so I'm quite curious!

If you don’t mind me asking what jobs can you do as a FM Physician sorry to bother just curious.

Hi jenny! Are you considering fellowship after your family medicine residency?

Hi Jenny, I have a question for applying to med school or becoming a PA which bachelor degree is better biology or biological science- physiology???

Ignore him when he does/walk away. he will stop because u wont be giving him attention when he does it.

Haha 6:30 little independent man

I noticed wyatt has some reddness in his left ear.maybe just a feeling..😁😁
