Children are happiness for loving parents, because only they are the most important value in the lives of many people. But how often tears well up in children's eyes, and then plaintive sobs are heard! The reason for the crying of a child depends on his age. Accordingly, we need different approaches and ways to calm the baby.
How to calm a newborn
The cry of the newborn expresses any demand of the child, because he has not yet learned how to formulate his desires in a different way.
Parents eventually begin to understand their baby by the nature of crying, because it can be caused by pain in the tummy, colic, the desire to eat or sleep, the inconvenience of the pose or a dirty diaper. It is also known that the baby is used to swaying inside his mother. Being in the uterus, he felt protected when he heard the uniform noise and beating of his mother's heart. Therefore, to calm the newborn
crying children, it is worth turning on quiet quiet music or any household appliances. The sound of a working vacuum cleaner or washing machine can distract the baby, and tight swaddling (only in the arms) will save him from unnecessary waving and possible injuries. Instinctively, parents begin to rock the baby, push it to themselves, and this is very correct. Close contact is necessary for a child of any age to feel caring. Breastfeeding or a dummy that distracts the baby from the cause of anxiety also helps. But if you suspect that a newborn is cramped, you should consult a doctor and, perhaps, give your child the prescribed medications.
How to calm an older child
When children begin to speak and actively gesticulate, it becomes much easier for parents to understand their child. But at this age, crying can not be avoided. The main thing is to determine the cause of the disorder of crying children, and then act.
It happens that the child is hurt or offended, he fell, hit, scared or hurt himself. In this case, you must definitely come to his aid, regret, hug, pat on the head and say comforting words. But there are cases when a baby cries because of vagaries, he wants to get what he wants, some thing that parents are not allowed to take, can’t buy, etc. What should I do if a child cries therefore? In no case should he follow his lead, give sweets and sweets, or indulge. You need to try to calm yourself, and then divert his attention to something else. You can do something unexpected for him, for example, put him in a warm bath. In an extreme case, when nothing helps, you can simply leave the baby alone with him, he will get enough of it, and then quietly begin to play, because the children will not cry for a long time when no one is looking at them and not responding.
How to teach crying children to resolve conflicts
When the baby begins to go to kindergarten, he enters the team, learns to play with other children, change toys, help others. However, it often happens that children need the same machine, they do not want to share, as a result - the child cries in the kindergarten. In this case, a teacher with experience will help the kids get out of the conflict situation, suggest solutions. After all, a child who does not have a brother or sister will not learn this at home alone. The most important thing for parents of crying children is to try to be calm and balanced themselves during children's tantrums, then this condition will be transmitted to children.
