Parents should provide moral support to their child.

If the baby does not feel love and care from mom and dad, he may face serious psychological problems.

Words of encouragement are the simplest thing you can do, but nonverbal communication is also important.

If a boy or girl sees that their parents' gestures and facial expressions match their words, then he or she will begin to trust their mother and father even more.

Smile

A smile is one of the simplest ways to show your disposition to your interlocutor.

It is easier for a child to be more open and honest in front of smiling parents.

But it is important that the child does not consider the smile of mom and dad as an expression of sarcasm, skepticism or ridicule.

Nod

Show that you are listening to your child. And that what he/she says is important to you. Nodding is enough for this.

A nod will likely be perceived by the baby as proof that he is not being ignored.

Look into the eyes

Don't be shy about looking your child straight in the eyes. And then the child's level of trust in you will increase.

The main thing is to avoid psychological pressure. It is important that the look is not heavy, and the situation does not turn into a "staring match".

Take by the hand

Tactile communication is also important.

Sometimes it is enough to take a child by the hand to give him serious moral support.

Pat on the head

This is another option for tactile contact that can have a positive effect on the baby’s condition.

A child who is stroked on the head will not only feel supported, but will also become a little happier.
