Babies have an important job to do — they need to learn whether or not they can trust the world and the people in it. For their part, they will work hard to give you the opportunities to show them how safe and secure they are.
Be consistently attentive to their needs so they can feel the world as a safe and secure one for them. Feed them when they are hungry, comfort them when they are scared, cuddle them when they need to be with you. This will form the foundation for their exploration of the world, their independence, their confidence and self-esteem, and their relationships. Know that along the way from infant to adult, there are some important things that need to be done. There are things to learn, mistakes to be made, boundaries to be pushed, independence to be found.
It will be a beautiful, exhausting, baffling, sometimes terrifying, sometimes overwhelming, sometimes traumatic adventure for everyone. Their greatest growth will come from the mistakes they make and the boundaries that they push up against. Even with the strongest supports in place, they are going to make mistakes — sometimes spectacular ones!
Provided they have the support they need, their mistakes will be about their growth, not your parenting. For our part, it is important that we are there with love, nurturing and a steady hand to guide them and with boundaries for them to feel the edges of themselves against.
Understanding what is normal behaviour for children and teens will make this easier. Growing up is a journey of learning, exploring and experimenting — for them and for us. My daughter is 10 years old, her mother and I split about 3 years ago, but I saw my daughter regular enough, however now, she lives in Spain and I am still in Brasil. The sun gives us heat and light. There are planets that go around the sun, and we live on one of them, called Earth.
When babies cry , they are not just asking for food or a new wardrobe. They are asking for you! Our young scholars are curious and eager to explore the world, but they are still asking for you.
They want to explore this fascinating world with the people they feel the safest around and love the most. This communication dance is not an easy one.
Every time we learn the steps, they seem to develop a new set of moves. Wow, so interesting and well said, Elizabeth. I hear ya on that. I get no more then why, but I got it more at 2 then at 3. Also, he is adorable and that camel color was made for him. I teach Sunday school and a 4 year old in there is still in the why stage.
Also, remember that employing smart strategies now will lay the groundwork for a strong, positive relationship between you and your child later. These six techniques can help.
Just pause. Then you can move on to another activity and put the cracker trauma behind you. Toddlers want to be grown up—and to be just like you.
Ask them to gather their stuffed animals for a car trip or have them retrieve an item from the grocery-store shelf. While this may not help you during a public tantrum, it can help over the long haul. When all else fails, try playing peek-a-boo or breaking out into song. Laughter will usually follow because Mommy or Daddy is so silly, and wait—what was I saying no to in the first place? It looks like your browser does not have JavaScript enabled.
