What to do if your newborn is grumpy

Some newborns are born with bad tempers, while others are very normal physiological phenomena. The main reason for this phenomenon is that the child sees different things, which are different from his own imagination, causing it to be expressed through emotional venting. This is also related to the baby's environment, so parents can look for the reasons from themselves.

1. Bad temper is a normal emotional reaction

From a psychological point of view, children's temper tantrums are a manifestation of psychological needs. As infants and young children develop physically and mentally, they begin to gradually come into contact with more things. Their understanding of whether these things are right or wrong is not possible, unlike adults, where they can make rational analysis and then make decisions on actions. Instead, they participate based on their emotions and interests, even though these things are often inappropriate, unfavorable, or harmful to them. Therefore, when babies encounter frustration or discomfort, it is natural for them to express it through temper tantrums, such as throwing things or pulling their mother's hair. However, such behavior can only occur occasionally and cannot become a habit for the baby.

2. Soothe your emotions and then prescribe the right medicine

When facing a baby’s stubborn temper, parents should first try to understand them, then understand the child’s thoughts, analyze why the baby loses his temper, and prescribe the right medicine.

3. Use appropriate educational methods

1. Empathy education. The so-called empathy education is to put yourself in other people's shoes. In daily life, parents should set a good example for their children. For example, let your baby experience the feeling of a child getting the smallest apple. Empathy education can make babies more friendly and humble when interacting with their peers.

2. Positive reinforcement method. Positive reinforcement holds that if a behavior is immediately followed by a reward, the behavior will be strengthened. When children show concern for others and make concessions, parents should give timely praise and acknowledge their children's behavior. Give him more praise and let him experience the joy of it.

Comprehensive analysis shows that as parents, we need to consider our own situation, and the education of some children needs to be integrated into it. Therefore, no matter whether the children can appreciate the family environment, as parents, we must not give up on the children, and we must not have some negative factors or emotions. We can combine some positive attitudes to help children find a warm family environment.
