It's time for lunch, and you can't call your baby, or does he climb to the outlet, and does not pay any attention to all your shouts? Almost all parents have had to deal with a situation where they cannot get the attention of their child in any way. Many adults, seeing that the child does not react to them, begin to raise their voices. As a result, the baby is offended that his mother is shouting at him, and she is outraged that he does not respond to her words. But there are ways how you can attract attention without spoiling the mood of either the child or yourself.
Instructions
Step 1
In attempts to draw the child's attention to yourself, you should not pronounce the words in a commanding, loud tone. Avoid such expressions: "Listen to me!", "Do as I said!" etc. These expressions do not convey any useful information to the child. If you urgently need to draw the child's attention to yourself, so that he does not climb to the hot stove or to the outlet, say a word or phrase that has some meaning for the child. For example, call the child by name, and then make him a comment, but it should be reasonable and not too long. You can distract the child's attention by inviting him to show something interesting.
Step 2
Don't yell at him. Some children do not respond to loud resentment from adults. They have a defense mechanism against this, they just filter out your negative emotions. And even if he pays attention, it will be associated with the loudness of the statement, and the meaning itself will slip away from the kid. Talk to your child calmly and confidently.
Step 3
The best way to draw a child's attention to themselves or to an object is through physical contact. Many mothers start shouting to their baby from afar, so that he does not climb anywhere or come up to his mother, but he does not always obey at the same time. Sometimes children are so passionate about their occupation that they simply do not react to what is happening around them. Therefore, you can simply walk up to the child and touch him, thereby drawing his attention to yourself, and then say something.
Step 4
Helps attract attention and eye contact. Try to catch the child's gaze, it is good if your eyes are at the same level (for this you can squat down). Once you've made contact, say whatever you want to say. For the best effect, you can touch it, hug it by the shoulders, take it by the handles.
Step 5
You can draw attention in a playful way. For example, a child refuses to go to lunch. Instead of the standard phrase "Go eat!" say, "I made a magical dish today!" or "Today we are having a real pirate dinner!" This will surely interest the child, and if the food is decorated in an unusual way, then he will eat everything without a trace.
