Children have interesting perspectives that are difficult for adults to understand. Then you should stop the annoyance with dirt, messy hair and ears and try to see everything under the eyes of children to understand more about your baby.
1. There is ghost in the room
Next time your sweetheart says, "There are ghosts in Mom's room!", You will comfort her like this. You try to turn off the power, stand in the dark and feel the shadow of the ceiling fan spinning steadily or the tick of the clock will easily turn into a monster in the dark. The baby's bed was too dark and easy to cover for a hidden monster.
What to do for the baby? Try putting a calming (but harmless) object beside your baby and naming it like: monster spray. Leave a light, comfortable light in your baby's room and don't forget to say that mom is in the next room for your baby's peace of mind.
Is it really cold?
Your darling is god ... lazy to shower. Every time the mother prepares the crib water, the baby makes an excuse: "It's so cold, Mom!". You often get frustrated and entice your baby to be equal in this “clean and fragrant” job. But the shower took a lot of tears of the main character. Not happy at all, right?
Tip: Children are more sensitive to heat than adults. Your baby may feel really cold or feel really uncomfortable. Early in the morning, you try to get into the baby's bath, turn on the water and try to feel really cold or not. Next time, adjust the temperature to suit your baby and add fun bathing games.
Honestly, I don't know
Every time you ask your baby "Why did you do that?", You will receive a pair of big round eyes and answer, "I don't know". The truth is it's not that babies are pretending, but maybe they don't know or understand why. Sometimes we impose children from the perspective of adults, making them confused. For example, a child is learning to speak of you how to understand that holding scissors and cutting her hair right before taking a family photo is an "unacceptable" act. Or he puts his eating sponge cake into the DVD drive; drop your doll in a water bath ...
Your pet also cannot understand his own actions. It is simply that the baby performs those weird actions according to ... the call of nature. Adults are also curious, right? We have sometimes wondered: what is this button for? How will this shirt be worn?… So are children. Understand and "forgive" the consequences your baby has caused and predict what your baby is trying to discover.
Ketchup everywhere
Your pet loves to love it to the point of putting ketchup on fried eggs, broccoli, in general splashing everything possible. Also insisted on not eating food if it had not been dipped ... ketchup. For many families, this is a big problem when the family table is always blurred with ketchup.
Some children have strange but harmless tastes!
But don't worry or upset me too much. Because according to Dr. Jonathon Kaufman, an American pediatrician, a baby dipping potatoes, vegetables, chicken ... in ketchup and eating deliciously, means that the baby is still adding the right nutritional foods. Mother please pamper your baby and reduce the dose of ketchup slowly. At some point, your baby will… get bored with ketchup and move on to a new dish.
Love bugs
Cockroaches, ants, worms, bugs ... bugs sometimes make adults hate and find ways to eliminate them, they are very interesting little friends. Bugs have a special attraction to babies because they are rarely seen indoors. And when the tiny "strange object" appeared, the children chased, grabbed and ran to show off their booty mother with great pride.
At this time, a scolding or forcing the baby to throw away the small gift just discovered will be "cold water" with the baby!
Always ask why
“Why is the electric light bulb bright and can't be held, and the flashlight is also bright and you can take it everywhere? Why does my father call my mother by me and call my neighbor sister? Why was the sky just now so blue and now it's so black? Why is the catchphrase of all toddlers. This is very good because your baby is in the process of discovering and learning, so try to answer as much as possible for your baby to understand. Being patient at this time is important, moms! Do not ignore the baby or babble through the story because the baby really needs to hear the appropriate answers.
Fantasy world
In the fantasy world, babies often play the role of running everything. So, you will not be surprised if you see your baby invite tangible friends such as Teddy bear, doll to invisible friends (by her) to join the party and eat cakes and tea. general. She takes it very seriously like a hospitable host. Don't panic, it's normal for children. Try participating in a baby's party once, setting up a party table and listening to your baby babysitting stories about your friends. It will be very interesting.
Too much to bear
When your friend is forced to control his emotions and actions, he realizes that he cannot control the situation. So the baby cried out loud to show his attitude when it was too unbearable and regained control. So, understanding each situation where the baby is crying is essential to soothe and understand the "me" of the baby!
And what you do not want your child to do, be firm and say no and be determined to let them understand that it is an unacceptable behavior.
