How to deal with a frightened child

When a child is born, he or she is curious about everything in the world. However, because children do not understand some things, they may often be frightened, which can have a great psychological impact on children. It may have a great impact on their diet and sleep. If a child does not eat for a long time, the body cannot absorb energy, which will have a great impact on his physical development. If the quality of sleep is poor, it will affect his mental state. Therefore, it is important to relieve the fright of children! Here we will introduce how to deal with the situation when a child is frightened.

Babies often cry incessantly after being frightened. At this time, you should hold them gently, or walk around gently after holding them, which can often calm them down or make them fall asleep gradually. Do the following as much as possible:

1. The rest room should be kept as quiet as possible and not in a noisy place.

2. Family members should not speak to the baby in a sudden manner, and should try to use a calm and friendly tone.

3. Hug and pat your baby often, and talk to him/her with a smile.

4. Newborn babies have skin care and like to be touched. Adults can do baby massage exercises through the baby's clothes to enhance the baby's sense of security.

5. When you are awake, you can play some beautiful music or children's songs, but the volume should not be too loud.

The main thing is to pat him and touch him more often. Children need to be shown affection from time to time. You need to communicate with him more through body language, let him know that you are protecting him, not a human-sized bed. Pat him gently, and shake him left and right with your body as the axis. Communicate with him more often in his language, even though he may not understand it yet.

Problem analysis: In addition to congenital factors such as low psychological endurance and being easily frightened by the slightest movement, other factors are often related to external stimuli, such as falls, collisions, sudden noises, or a poor sleeping environment. Children are also often frightened and cry when forced to do things they don't want to do. There is no need to panic or get angry at this time, just take appropriate measures.

Suggestions: Tip 1 for frightened children: Comforting them is a very practical method. When a child is frightened and crying, parents can try hugging the child, touching the child's back, forehead, arms, etc. This can make the child feel safe and comfortable, and make the child feel kind and warm, and the emotions will gradually stabilize. In this way, the child will no longer cry due to being frightened. In addition to comforting, parents can also add verbal comfort, which will be more effective. Tip 2 for children who are frightened: divert their attention. If the child is frightened due to environmental reasons, the first thing to do is to leave such an environment and go to a relatively quiet and comfortable place. This will avoid the stimulation of noise, light, and sights, and the child will often stabilize his emotions quickly. At this time, parents can find some snacks, candies, toys, etc. to divert the child's attention, so that the child's emotions can be quickly relieved.

A few tips:

1. Find a stamp with a postmark, preferably from a faraway place. In the dead of night, burn it on the ground above your child’s head, and recite as you burn it: XXX, come home with daddy (mom)!

2. When your child is sleeping at night, place the shoe buckles on the pillow or above the head, with the toes of the shoes facing the child's head. Just take it away in the morning. Haha, although the method is a bit superstitious, you can try it for the sake of your children.

3. Find a new needle that has never been used (for sewing clothes), thread it with white thread. The length of the double thread should be the height of the child. Put the needle in a small bowl of water and the thread outside the bowl. Place it above the child's sleeping position at night. If the needle is rusted the next morning, it means the child is frightened. Leave it there for three days in a row (I haven't tried this).

In short, it doesn’t matter whether we believe in superstition or not, as long as it works and the children are safe and healthy, that’s enough.
