FACTS ABOUT CHILD PSYCHOLOGY
Have you ever encountered a situation where your child was screaming and crying, but just a few minutes later, he or she was smiling happily? If you still wonder "why is my child so difficult to understand?", don't ignore the following facts:
1. Your child will not be too hungry if he or she skips just one meal
When your child enters the weaning stage, there will be days when you feel a headache because your child refuses to eat. Even though you have tried everything, your child still does not cooperate, even throwing food, throwing tantrums, and crying. At this time, you will worry about whether your child is hungry or not, and have to try to force-feed him or her to get enough nutrition, but the truth is that it is not necessary.
Calm down, it may be a change from your child because he or she is in a stage of anorexia. Prepare a variety of nutritious foods for your child and allow him or her to choose his or her favorite dish for that meal. If your child does not want a dish, do not force him or her and try again at the next meal.
- Solution for parents: Don't worry because if your child is hungry, he will learn the lesson of not skipping any meal of the day. Of course, mothers need to be consistent, don't let the rules get in the way of pampering their children. If you loosen up, your child will no longer listen the next time.
2. Children like to choose
Instead of bringing out a set of clothes and forcing your child to "wear it", parents should try letting their child decide for themselves. Bring out 2 outfits that you think are most suitable, then ask your child to choose. Your child will feel very "powerful" because he or she can make decisions related to himself or herself.
- Solution for parents: Give your child the opportunity to choose simple things, such as whether to eat chicken or avocado for lunch, whether to wear sneakers or flip-flops, or whether to play in the park or at the automatic water fountain. Or most effectively, in the toy area, if your child wants to buy many things, you should set a condition that "only 1 is allowed". This is where selection comes in handy.
3. There are times when children deliberately do not want to understand their parents' intentions
There are times when parents cannot love their children. That is when they demand too many things, get angry because things do not go their way and have many actions that make their parents angry. In fact, parents' attempts to explain to their children in a certain situation are often ineffective.
According to the Parenting website, limited demands and logical reasoning seem to be non-existent in children and that is completely normal. Children do not yet understand cause and effect, so they often ask "why". Therefore, sometimes, even after explaining dozens of times, children still think that their thoughts are correct.
- Solution for parents: Don't lose patience, sometimes relax and accept that your child cannot fully understand everything you say. Be calm and gradually find a better solution.
4. Children do not share with the baby because of jealousy
Many parents are unhappy when their firstborn child quarrels and does not want to share anything with the baby. In fact, it is not because the child does not love the baby, but simply because the baby is jealous because the baby has taken away his parents. Usually, this happens when parents do not treat their children fairly.
When seeing the older child not giving in to the baby, parents often yell "you are so grown up and don't know how to share", "you are the older sibling but why are you so selfish", but in fact, the problem should be solved from the root. What the child needs is more love and care from the parents. When the child feels safe and not being fought over, the child will be willing to pamper the baby.
- Solution for parents: Talk gently, hug the child and express the wish to let the baby play with them. Always tell the child that parents love all of them and that will never change.
5. Children love to test their parents' attitudes
Although they are young, they are able to understand more than adults think. For children who cannot speak yet, they will show their attitude by throwing tantrums, crying, and whining. And if they get their wish, they will continue to use that "trick" with their parents the next time. Of course, if they are not successful, they will not apply it again next time.
- Solution for parents: Be decisive with the things you want your child to change. When you say "no", do not change your attitude just because of something.
