1. Origins of unwarranted cries and sudden psychological changes
Many parents nowadays suddenly see their children completely change their personality overnight: the baby becomes irritable, has trouble sleeping and clings to the mother without leaving. This is a typical manifestation of "Wonder Weeks" - a stage of brain and nervous system development of infants. International child psychologists warn that the world around suddenly changing too quickly makes the baby feel confused and scared. Instead of being angry, in this stage, parents need to be tolerant and understanding to help the baby overcome the crisis.
2. Breakthrough in life skills and hidden intellectual development
Behind the tears and temporary stubbornness of children is a long step forward in thinking and awareness. After each week of being spoiled, wise parents will be surprised to see their children become more independent and learn more new life skills. Babies begin to know how to wave, recognize facial emotions, know how to babble or begin to have obvious early interactions with everything around them. This crisis period is actually the best tonic to activate the brain, helping children train reflexes and shape superior emotional intelligence.
3. Solutions to nourish psychology and the art of active listening from parents
A serious mistake of many parents in these crisis weeks is trying to mechanically force their children into iron discipline or abandon them crying. The easiest and most scientific way to raise children at this time is to apply the method of active listening to understand the needs of the baby through crying. Hug your child more, create a quiet space and maintain spiritual activities such as lullaby singing or relaxing massage. The gentle companionship and good emotional control from parents are solid supports to help children move through sensitive stages peacefully.
