Let's imagine the following situation: your child started crying loudly.
Perhaps someone offended him. It is possible that something frightened him.
Or maybe the emotions are caused by your refusal to buy another toy.
In any case, you shouldn't say the following: "Come on, stop crying!"
Don't demand that a crying child stop and don't threaten him with punishment!
It is better to give the baby the opportunity to splash out emotions. At the same time, it is desirable to outline certain boundaries.
What to say to a crying child
Parents of a child who has started to cry should say the following: “Cry for a couple more minutes, and then we’ll discuss your problem.”
This phrase is good for two reasons. Firstly, mom and dad refuse to put psychological pressure on the child.
The baby gets the right to express emotion. No one demands that he immediately calm down and stop "interfering".
Secondly, the remark demonstrates the parents’ integrity: they show an unwillingness to indulge the child’s whims (we are talking about the case when the child uses crying as “blackmail”).
The baby understands that no one is going to stop him, but at the same time, mom and dad do not plan to give in to him.
