Many parents, sometimes completely unexpectedly for themselves, are faced with the problem of children's tantrums related to clothing.
Such situations are certainly very exhausting, so we suggest that you quickly find out what you can do to prevent tights or gloves from becoming a stumbling block between you and your child.
Even before you start getting dressed, prepare your child for the upcoming “procedure”.
This should be done gently and lovingly, making sure to establish eye contact. It is even better if you introduce some pleasant ritual for this.
Try to offer the capricious child to choose from the clothes that he or she usually likes. To avoid prolonging the selection process, do not bring a whole pile of clothes, but limit yourself to a few items.
To avoid unnecessary worries and to avoid being late, allow yourself plenty of time to get ready.
If, despite your efforts, the child begins to protest again, calmly ask him what he doesn’t like and ask him to choose an alternative.
Still got hysterical? Well, that happens. In that case, you need to stop, stop offering options and just accept the child's emotions. Be there for your son or daughter, hug him (her) and express sympathy.
Gradually the crying will subside and, most likely, the child will decide what to wear.
Sometimes there is no time to wait at all. In this case, connect the game, and it is worth doing this even before the emotions rush over the baby with all their might.
Play techniques always help reduce emotional tension and help overcome a child’s resistance.
And, of course, control your own state – it is quite possible that you are already on edge when you approach dressing your baby, you speak tensely and act harshly, and he is simply reading your behavior.
