A note about your child doing things to make you angry

At this age children can be very demanding. Young children seem to have been built to bother their parents, not just when they are hungry, but also when they are bored and need to learn something. If they didn't push their parents to do something to distract them they would learn a lot less about the world. After about a year of age they may be also be driven to understand what makes their parent have an upset reaction and it can feel like they are pushing you. The secret is first to respond when the child is not asking for it. Second, distract your child with something interesting to the child. Being interesting also means it could be educational. Third, be sure you are consistent in responding or not responding so your child doesn't have to work hard to discover what makes you upset. Sometimes what seems to be 'on purpose' happens for the purpose of learning what your rules are.
