Don't Do This If Your Baby Is Crying: A Common Mistake Parents Make

29.07.2023 02:30

It becomes psychologically difficult for any parent when their child, for some reason, starts to shed tears.

I want to stop crying as soon as possible.

You can try to cheer up the baby or distract him in some other way.

Sometimes it makes sense to leave a crying child alone. The child will cry alone and then will probably calm down.

But there are measures that should not be taken if a boy or girl is crying.

What many parents do wrong

Some moms and dads are at a loss: they don’t know how to calm the baby down. As a result, they start yelling at the child, hoping that he will calm down and stop crying.

But in reality, shouting is unlikely to achieve such a result.

And this can be explained very simply: a crying child is already in a stressful situation or in a state of hysteria.

Parents raising their voices only makes the situation worse: the baby gets even more scared.

But if the mother and father speak calmly, the child will most likely stop shedding tears.

Another common mistake

Some parents try to "bribe" a crying child by buying him a toy, just so that he calms down.

This should not be done, otherwise the boy or girl will decide that hysteria is a sure way to get this or that thing.
