You gotta be really strict, but you have to be fun or they wont like you. Like if they do something bad send them to time out for a certain number of minutes depending on how bad what they did was. I used this on my 3 also very wild cousins and now when i babysit them they are good but we still have loads of fun. Also you can take away their snacks. Kids like theyre food lol.
K hun thanks bye.

Hmm...well i have three baby cousins (Almost 2) and they can be wild too. Does he like Barney? Well, if he does go to www.barney.com and play him a few songs and stuff. You can also try playing a game with him like Ring-Around-The-Rosie or something. Also you can put in a video like Barney or something fun like that.


*Hope i helped*

Ouch. This is like when my friend's mom had to babysit little 5 year old John Stamos from Full House (twenty years before he was a star) and he was the wildest guy in the world. One job, and boom. No mpore sitting for John. I'd call her to ask what she did if I weren't supposed to be doing my homework right now---I mean... er... the phone lines are down or something like that. Or I have cholera. Something like that. But whatever. Try telling your uncle that you can't sit for him because he's too wild. Or if you have no conscience (people with no consciences are evil!) then you could make movie plans with your b/f or best friend and then claim that you've had those plans for weeks. Actually, no, even people without consciences would start to feel guilty. Go with the first one and be honest. That's all I can say... I'm sorry I couldn't help more. Good luck, hope I helped!

Try putting on one of his favorite movies. Play games with him and put on some music. Maybe cut pictures out of a magzine and paste then on paper to make him a book of his favortie things. Never let him out of your sight. Who knows what he might do just have fun and think about how much money you are making. Clair

try to get him to watch tv with you and have a time to have him eat something. theres not much you can do to keep him under control if he wants to be wild. just maybe try to read to him and get him to play with toys... thats about all i can think of. good luck! <3
