3 mistakes when raising children with the EASY method

HOÀNG LỘC (T/H) |

Below are 3 mistakes of many parents that turn the EASY parenting method into a chain of stress.

1. Applying theoretical time frames mechanically and rigidly

Many parents today suddenly turn the life of the whole family into a tense battle when forcing their children to strictly follow each minute according to the EASY model on the internet. This is the most common mistake that makes this leisurely parenting method completely counterproductive. International medical experts warn that each child is an independent individual with different circadian rhythms and physical development speeds. Intentionally prolonging the time to wake up or forcing children to sleep when the child's body is not ready will unintentionally stifle natural reflexes, causing the child's brain to fall into a state of overload and exhaustion.

2. Misleading the crying signal and hurriedly feeding the child to make up for it

A major loophole in family education when applying EASY is that parents often lose their composure and immediately breastfeed their children whenever they see them cry. Not listening actively to distinguish between crying due to fatigue, drowsiness or wet diapers will completely disrupt the "Eat – Play – Sleep" cycle. The consequence is that children will develop the habit of snacking, short naps (catnaps) and turn night sleep into a nightmare. Wise parents need to learn how to control emotions, be tolerant and carefully observe body language to meet needs, helping children practice self-reliance skills from an early age.

3. Inconsistency between members and giving up too early

The deadlock in communication between generations often explodes when the mother tries to discipline the child according to routine, but the grandparents or father are heartbroken, immediately hold and shake each time the child tries to cry. This inconsistency causes the child to have cognitive disorders, unable to put themselves in sleep and completely destroys the child's will to be independent. To raise children scientifically successfully, the whole family needs consensus, understanding their partner and persistently accompanying the child through crisis periods. The best psychological nourishment for children is a consistent, peaceful and loving living environment.
