4-5 years old: children are teased by others, what should parents do?

If your child is teased or humiliated by other babies or adults, he needs a window that can channel his catharsis for him, what should parents do? 1, patiently listen to your child’s story Listening carefully to your child about the whole process of what happened is an important prerequisite for you to offer him help. After listening to your child, you can say, “This must make you feel very difficult.” At this point, parents do not make any judgments, first directly to the child’s feelings, so that the child can feel to find a psychological support, will be very trusting of you. 2, discuss the response with your child Next, you can enlighten your child, let’s say, “I remember being told off by other kids when I was your age.” Why say that? Because it is very lonely to be teased and laughed at by others, and when hearing that you had the same experience as a child, it will make him feel less isolated and at the same time he will be willing to continue to listen to you. At this point, never assume that you can already tell him what to do; you should encourage your child to solve the problem on his own, “What should we do?” Because in the child’s own successful problem solving he will have a sense of accomplishment, which can help him build a sense of self-confidence. 3. give your child psychological support Or you can stand in the shoes of the teaser and tell your child in some way, “Son, maybe it’s hard for you to believe that those kids actually have unhappy moments too.” Why say this to your child? Because it allows the child to realize that those children are themselves flawed, that they are not so terrible, and that they too have sad and upsetting times. 4. Observe carefully to understand your child Finally, you can ask, “What do you need your mother to do for you, child?” The child may or may not need it because they may feel that parental involvement will complicate things. But it’s important to offer it as an option. Some children are overly sensitive to other people’s jokes, and how you communicate with your child depends on how well you know your child. Some questions you can ask yourself: Is your child particularly sensitive? Do they often laugh at themselves? Has this happened before? How well does he get along with most children? If your child is the target of teasing no matter what the occasion, and your child is used to it, it’s time to turn to the school or counseling center.
