Children show emotions, and this is completely normal.
Any child can cry. And, unfortunately, sometimes this happens in public.
In such a situation, parents will certainly want to calm their son or daughter.
But the wrong phrase can only make things worse. What words are we talking about?
"Stop crying!"
Moms and dads should understand that the child is unlikely to be able to pull himself together and calm down right away.
And no demands from parents will make the baby stop shedding tears.
On the contrary, a commanding tone can only upset the child even more.
"Calm down!"
If a child starts crying because something has frightened him, then the word “calm down” or the phrase “stay calm” can make the feeling of fear even stronger.
The kid will probably come to the following conclusion: “If they tell me this, then something terrible really happened.”
"Don't cry like a girl!"
You shouldn't humiliate the boy by saying this phrase.
The fact is that even the smallest representative of the stronger half of humanity has the right to express emotions.
And ridicule can provoke complexes and feelings of guilt in a boy.
