When a child cries, his parent also begins to worry a lot.
The situation is stressful. Therefore, mom or dad can make a serious mistake.
Let us emphasize right away: the phrases “Don’t cry!”, “Come on, stop crying!” and “Don’t cry, you’re a boy!” do not help.
In most cases, such remarks only make the situation worse.
Want to calm your baby down and stop him from crying? Then say words that will let your child know that you are on his side.
What to say to a crying child
If the baby starts crying, you shouldn’t put psychological pressure on him.
It is necessary to demonstrate moral support to the child and a willingness to help with specific actions. The following phrases help:
- "I can see that things are not easy for you."
- "I understand how you feel."
- "I see that you are crying. What happened? How can I help you?"
- "We need to take a break."
- "Let's solve the problem together."
Analyze the current situation and choose the most appropriate remark. For example, the fourth phrase should be said if the child is very tired while performing one or another action.
Earlier we explained why it is worth telling your child the phrase “I love you” more often.
