Let's imagine a situation: you are with your child in some public place. For example, in a park, a store, or the metro.
And suddenly the baby started crying loudly, demanding something from you or trying to explain something.
Yes, the situation is stressful. But you have to keep yourself in hand.
Do not shout or say phrases such as: “Calm down quickly!”, “Stop crying!” or “Stop crying!”
Remain completely calm and say one saving line.
As a result, the child will most likely stop crying.
What to say to a crying child
First, sit down so that you can look your child straight in the eyes and hug him.
Next, tell your son or daughter the following: “Please take a deep breath and count to ten.”
There is a high probability that the baby will pull himself together and will be able to calmly explain the reason for the crying.
Perhaps the child will turn to you with some request. If it is possible, fulfill it. If it does not work, calmly explain to the child the reason for the refusal.
Remember: parental shouting and a "commanding" tone do not help calm a child. Usually, the opposite effect is achieved. But calm communication and showing respect "work" much better.
