A crying child needs to be calmed down. Much depends on the reason, character, and also on the upbringing model.
In any of these cases, you should not use phrases that will certainly come back to you in the future.
But these are the mistakes that parents most often make, according to experts. Therefore, it is better to delete the following 3 phrases from your vocabulary.
"Here, just calm down."
When a child really, really needs something, he is ready to beg, be capricious, plead and resort to other tricks.
It is impossible to endure this whining and the nervous system of a father or mother, exhausted after a working day or week, begins to fail.
Parents can be understood, but instead, it’s better to look into the child’s eyes and calmly say that at such moments and in such a mood you don’t want to do anything for him.
"If I do it again, I'll get it!"
Having received what he had asked for so long, the child immediately forgot about the promises he had made.
At the same time, he will forget about the threat of his parents, who often remain threats.
It's better to promise that next time you won't listen to your child if he behaves like this, otherwise he will soon turn into a skilled manipulator.
"Come on, stop it!"
According to the parents, after the spell is cast, silence should reign. But instead, the child continues to protest, and often with redoubled force.
Just explain to the child that you understand him very well, but now you are not able to fulfill his request.
