Walking with children turns into a real challenge for many parents.

Some babies are not eager to be under constant control and strive to escape from hands.

This is quite understandable: an active child wants to run, jump, approach certain objects, but the mother does not give him this opportunity.

And in some cases, excessive activity poses a danger to the baby. For example, when crossing the roadway.

Luckily, there is one little trick that will help your child stay close to his mother throughout the entire walk.

What should mom say?

The parent should pretend that she is afraid to cross the road alone or get lost in the crowd.

You need to ask the child the following: "Protect me, please! Hold my hand tightly, otherwise I'm scared!"

Hearing this, the baby himself will want to stay close to his mother. Or rather, he will strive for his mother to stay close to him.

In addition, the child will be truly happy, as he is “protecting” a person dear to him.

And for the mother, walks with her child will no longer be associated with stress.
