Parents are almost always ready to lend a helping hand to their children.
Sometimes, however, situations arise when we are too immersed in our own affairs and hope that the situation will resolve itself, and the child will thus gain independence.
Below you will find 3 cases when it is absolutely necessary to intervene, without putting it off for later.
The baby is crying
It doesn’t matter what the reason for the tears is – a really serious incident or a minor annoyance: in any case, the baby now needs a strong adult who will help him experience the feelings that caused the tears.
You don’t even have to say anything – just hug the baby and wait until the flow of tears and bitter feelings subsides.
The baby is angry
Anger is a special feeling, and to overcome it, a baby definitely needs the help of a father or mother.
Behind a child's anger there may be fear, disappointment or pain, so this feeling requires special attention from us.
The child himself does not know what he wants
Because of this uncertainty, the baby is upset, whines, and tests our nerves. Now think: if you, an adult, cannot bear the child at this moment, how does he feel?
You will allow yourself to take on at least part of the unbearable state that the baby is in at this moment, instead of the hopelessness and negativity being directed inside the little person.
