It’s unpleasant when a baby starts to throw a tantrum or just act up.

And the worst thing is if a boy or girl behaves like this in public.

Fortunately, tears can be stopped quickly. And you don't have to yell at your child or punish him.

It turns out that it is enough to say just one word and the baby will calm down.

What word are we talking about?

Any complex word whose meaning the child does not know will do.

For example, "synchrophasotron". Or "transcendence", "parallelepiped", "transparent".

If you say any of these words at the moment when your baby is having a tantrum, the child will most likely immediately stop screaming and crying.

And from a psychological point of view, this can be explained very simply: the child experiences an emotion that is stronger than the previous one. We are talking about surprise.

A child who hears an unfamiliar word will fall silent and look at mom and dad, waiting for an explanation from them.

The psychological trick works almost always and often helps parents in difficult situations that often arise when raising a child.
