What to do if the baby is scared

For many children, they are relatively timid. If they are accidentally frightened, they will show various emotions. The most common ones are that the children will cry loudly or be stunned. For parents, after their children are frightened, they must take certain measures to comfort their children and calm their emotions. Here we will tell you what to do if your child is scared.

When the baby is scared, the mother's friendly language is very helpful. She can gently say in the child's ear, "Don't be afraid, baby, mom and dad will always be here to protect you." This will make the child feel very safe and will slowly stop crying.

2. Gentle physical comfort

While comforting your child with words, you should also touch the child's skin, such as stroking the baby's hair or patting the back, or putting your face against the child's face. Physical contact from loved ones can quickly make the baby feel safe and provide the greatest soothing effect.

Try holding your baby in an unusual position, such as holding him/her face down on your arms with your palms supporting his/her face; you can also rock him/her gently with your left hand while stroking his/her back with your right hand. You can also find some toys with special sounds to divert the baby's attention. This will make the baby feel very strange and he will slowly forget what frightened him just now.

4. Soft music

If your baby is frightened, you can play the music he likes to listen to, such as nursery rhymes, piano music, saxophone, etc., which can regulate the baby's nervous emotions and reduce the adverse effects caused by fright.

Although parental comfort is important, sometimes asking a child’s good friends or partners to comfort them can have an unexpected effect. Friends can encourage frightened children by saying things like "You can do it, don't be afraid, we still have fun together", which is very effective.

6. Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment

If the above methods have little effect, you can try traditional Chinese medicine treatment, which has little adverse effect on the child's body. You should go to a regular traditional Chinese medicine pediatric department for diagnosis and treatment.
