Let's imagine a situation: a baby started crying loudly and asking for something.
For example: “Buy a smartphone!”, “Let's take this homeless cat home!” or “Can I have some more cakes?”
Of course, mom and dad can answer briefly and clearly: “No!”
But such a remark from parents is unlikely to make the child calmer.
Rather, the opposite: the child will only become more upset or angry. The sobbing will only intensify.
Therefore, it is not worth using a sharp and categorical refusal. It is also not necessary to give in to a capricious child. You need to be cunning.
A life-saving phrase when communicating with a crying child
If you say the word “No” abruptly, such a baby will begin to worry even more.
Instead, say the following: "We cannot fulfill your request at the moment. But we will definitely do it later: as soon as we have such an opportunity."
And it is desirable that a specific deadline for fulfilling the promise be named. In this case, the child will have a goal and will calm down.
Important point: be sure to keep your word. If you promise something to a child and then forget about it, then the baby may simply stop trusting you.
