Are you sure that it is impossible to quickly calm a crying baby?

You are wrong! There are several simple ways to calm a child's tantrum.

Of course, you don't need to scold or punish your child. But you should do the following actions.

To feel sorry

It is worth remembering that many children start crying precisely in order to get attention and pity.

Tell your child that you understand how he feels.

Calmly explain to your child why his wish cannot be fulfilled right now.

Hug

It's not just words that are important. Tactile contact is also of great importance.

Hug your baby and stroke his head.

These simple actions will be enough for the baby to calm down and understand that mom and dad are ready to support him morally.

"Let's go outside"

The child continues to cry despite the above measures? Then just give the baby the opportunity to "splash out" emotions. Just be silent. Sooner or later the child will calm down.

Is your child's tantrum happening in public (for example, in a store)? Then just tell your child the following: "Let's go outside: it's better to cry there so that no one sees."

By the time you leave the building, the child will most likely stop crying.
