25.11.2023 00:30
A small child can get upset over any little thing.
Parents of a child whose mood has worsened also have a hard time.
To support your child, you need to tell him the following: "I understand you. Let's try to solve the problem together."
But you definitely shouldn't say the following phrases. They will only make the problem worse.
“Such nonsense, and you’re upset…”
The event that made the baby sad may indeed be insignificant.
But mom and dad shouldn't mention it.
For a child, what happened is of great importance, since he reacted in this way.
"Stop crying!"
If a child's mood swings are accompanied by tears, then under no circumstances should you demand that the child stop crying immediately.
In such a situation, the child already has a high level of stress. And the demanding tone and dissatisfaction of the mother and father can only worsen the situation.
"Look, there's a kitten there."
You can't try to distract the baby in this way. Especially if there is no animal nearby.
Such deception on the part of parents only irritates children.
A boy or girl may become offended, coming to the conclusion that mom and dad do not want to pay attention to the essence of the problem at all.
