Hi
Thanks for reaching out. You have an eleven month old baby. It requires a lot of patience to take care of an eleven month old baby. Are you taking care of your baby by yourself or do you have help at home? Your baby is very small and it is important to create a caring and positive environment for your baby. She requires a lot of love and care. You want to control your anger and not take it out on your baby. It is important to know what is causing you to feel angry. Consult a psychologist and explain about what is causing you to feel angry. A psychologist will guide you on how you can manage anger and feel calm.
It is okay if your baby takes time to eat and wear clothes, just try to be as patient as possible. If you are a working mother it is important to know how you are managing your time around working and taking care of your baby. Talking to a psychologist will help you feel better.

Hi,
It's completely normal to feel overwhelmed and frustrated when dealing with a small child, especially when they are being difficult. It's important to remember that they are still learning and growing, and may not always understand what we want them to do. It's important to take a step back and try to understand why your child is acting a certain way â maybe they are tired, hungry, or just need some extra attention.
One way to help control your anger is to take a deep breath and count to ten before reacting. This can give you a moment to calm down and think rationally before responding to the situation. You can also try walking away for a few minutes to give yourself a break and collect your thoughts meanwhile ask your partenr and other family members to take care of her that time..
It's also important to talk to someone about your feelings, whether it's a friend, family member, or a professional. Having someone to listen to you and offer support can help you cope with your emotions and deal with stress in a healthier way. Remember, it's okay to ask for help when you need it â being a parent is a difficult job, and no one expects you to do it alone.

Understand the CHILD is a different life n recognise the need to evolve on its own.. You can be the best FACILITATOR and it's not definitely by CONTROLLING her.. Understand this as the important NEED.
CURSE-NOT yourself for your anger, rather UNDERSTAND that you really care for her.. How much you care for her needs to be reflected in your ability to give her FREEDOM to evolve.
Recognise your hardships, discuss & share with your partner to DISTRIBUTE the RESPONSIBILITY. OVER EXHAUSTED with kid is one good reason to SHOUT at them..!! Have some balanced SLEEP CYCLES and rest all should come as PLAY with the kid to you, I mean as an OPPORTUNITY to spend with the kid than a work to be completed.
Make a strict rule not to go physically & verbally abusive over a helpless EVOLVING BRAIN.. Help her / him
Next Steps
Speak out and share

It's important to acknowledge your feelings and seek help to manage your anger. When you feel overwhelmed, take a moment to step away and calm down. Practicing deep breathing exercises can help reduce stress and anger. Additionally, talking to a trusted friend, family member, or professional about your feelings can provide support and perspective. Consider taking parenting classes to learn strategies for managing difficult behaviors. Remember, it's okay to ask for help, as your well-being is crucial for your child's development and happiness.
