What should we do if our children are sensitive and fragile?

Many parents usually have this confusion, that is, their babies are shy and not good at speaking, and they seem to have poor ability to communicate with others. In fact, when the baby has this situation, parents need to pay attention to it. They can enhance the baby's interpersonal skills when the baby is very young, so that when the baby grows up, he will not be sensitive and fragile and have difficulty communicating with others.

What to do if your child is sensitive and fragile

What is the sensitive period

Sensitive period refers to the process in which children, driven by their inner vitality, concentrate on absorbing the characteristics of a certain thing in the environment and constantly repeat the practice during the growth process of 0-6 years old.

From 0 to 6 years old, children develop themselves through one sensitive period after another. We cannot see what is inside children, but the sensitive period phenomenon helps us see the process of formation of this inner self.

If we fully understand the process of children's self-formation and the sensitive period phenomena of children at different stages, we can provide high-quality companionship to children in their growth process by understanding their behavior and ultimately help them grow into complete people.

Don't regard sensitivity as a child's fault

Adults like lively and cheerful children, but the world is not full of such children. It is not the child’s fault if he fails to grow up as we expect. A sensitive child simply needs more attention as he grows up, but on the other hand he may also display qualities such as thoughtfulness and kindness.

Therefore, parents must not regard their children’s sensitivity and fragility as a sin.

Love lively and optimistic children, and also be tolerant of sensitive and careful children. For sensitive children, parents should not condemn them at will, or blame someone in the family. What they need to do most is to understand the reasons for the formation of their children's personality and slowly guide their children to grow into independent people.

Sensitive to the crying of children

Parents should adopt a neutral attitude, neither paying too much attention nor punishing, but distracting the child so that he stops crying. You cannot give your child privileges or cancel previously set rules just because he or she cries, nor can you indulge your child just because he or she cries.

Parents can give their children some comfort, hug them and cuddle them, but they cannot give them too much sympathy, otherwise the children will cry even harder. Teach your child to express his or her feelings verbally when they have a problem, rather than crying.

When children express their feelings and emotions, parents should establish a good connection with their children with empathy, and make children feel that expressing their feelings can make their parents understand them better and is more conducive to solving problems than crying.
