Children's whims at a certain age become the norm, and the child is ready to burst into tears and stomp his feet literally for any reason. Parents during this period need to be especially careful to find a balance between affection and upbringing.
Instructions
Step 1
To cope with children's whims, first you need to understand their cause. It is not always a desire to try something forbidden or to do something contrary to it. There are, in fact, a lot of reasons, for example, uncomfortable clothes, hunger, fatigue, fever. In this case, it is necessary to satisfy the child's need by gently reassuring him before this and asking what is the matter.
Step 2
Often, a child is capricious because he feels deprived of attention, especially when he tries to turn to adults, and they stubbornly do not listen to him. With his whim, the baby expresses resentment and tries to attract the eyes of his parents, so you can't scold him for this, but you need to hug and take time to communicate.
Step 3
To avoid frequent tantrums, try to spend as much time with your child as possible. Now it seems so difficult, because as soon as he grows up and can walk, eat, clean toys himself, he is practically forgotten. But if you want your baby to grow up healthy and full, to be able to rejoice and love, take care of him at every stage of growth. Play with him, read books, scratch his back - he remembers all your attention, adds with his childish arithmetic, and there will be much less whims in your direction.
Step 4
Do not get carried away by prohibitions. Many mothers are very fond of saying "no", but not because it is really forbidden, but simply to imitate the upbringing process. For example, why can't you eat one extra candy? After all, a child, unlike adults, still knows how to control his appetite, and if he does not need it, he will not eat too much. Or why can't you fall? This is a normal process of self-discovery. It's just that mom is too lazy to wash clothes afterwards, and after the baby has fallen, she will also spank him for it. In this case, whims cannot be avoided, because the child absorbs everything and remembers everything.
Step 5
If the baby is crying and cannot stop, you need to invite him to do some business in which he will feel trust in you and calm down. For example, shifting blocks or reading a book. When he realizes that you are not his enemy, that you are a good person, and you will not swear at him, he will smile instantly, you will even be surprised at this quick change.
Step 6
If someone in the family prohibits something, and someone permits, then this will undoubtedly lead to whims in the direction of a "bad" adult. Therefore, it is important to maintain a single authority and conduct the same policy for all family members.
Step 7
In general, try to organize your baby's days in such a way that his nervous system only strengthens. This also applies to food received on time, and walks in the fresh air, and an afternoon nap. It is best to go to bed in the evening at the same time, and before going to bed it is worth reading a fairy tale and kissing your child. Do not skimp on tenderness and attention, because this is your child, and his whims are not without reason. Take care of him so that he never cries, and you, in turn, never get upset.
