All young children cry, and many parents are simply unable to understand the reason. They begin to worry, seek some kind of consolation, but it does not always help. And how do you calm the child down? In the first years of life, the baby cannot speak and communicates with others in sign language, and sometimes even through crying. This is how he expresses his emotions.
When you cry again, try the following:
- maybe the child is hungry, and it's time to feed him, because children at this age eat often and little by little;
- it is possible that he has wet diapers and it is time to change them;
- change its position to turn on the tummy or back, side;
- turn on soft calm music;
- offer him his favorite toy;
- cuddle him, pick him up and walk around;
- say a few pleasant words to the baby;
And it is best to try to determine the cause of crying or anxiety in a young child or older. In the first years of life, young children need special and careful care that requires increased attention. And then in the future, you can minimize baby crying. If, after trying a bunch of different options, you still could not calm your child, do not despair, it is quite possible that you just need to calm down and then your calmness will be transferred to your baby. You should not immediately suppress crying, maybe this is the only way to express your feelings. It is possible that the child himself will indicate the cause of his anxiety. If something hurts him, he can indicate where by putting his hands there, or the expression on his face will say about it.
If the child is older and is hysterical, you should not pay your attention to him for a while, the child will quickly get tired of being capricious. We must immediately distract him with something. Try to keep him busy with some interesting business, into which he will go headlong and zeal. Another effective method is taking soothing baths, sets of which are sold in any pharmacies in the city. Exercising helps to release energy. Ask your child what kind of sport he likes best. A calm, comfortable home environment helps to prevent nervous breakdowns.
Try to protect your child from watching TV before going to bed and from outdoor games.
