When the baby is about one and a half years old, parents slowly find that he is getting more and more difficult to deal with, seeing a spoon and tightening his lips, crossing the street and suddenly pulling away his hand, obviously sleepy but also noisy to stay awake …… In fact, the baby sings a contradictory tune, but also a sign of mental maturity, parents should be happy to think in a different way. If you can satisfy your baby appropriately and gradually extend the time it takes for him to be satisfied, both sides should be able to find a balance. Provide options for baby to choose Perhaps baby’s language skills are not good enough to properly state his needs, but baby’s comprehension far exceeds his verbal expression, so mom and dad can provide 2 to 3 options that they can accept for baby to choose from to properly meet baby’s needs. Pan Runde, Department of Clinical Psychology, Guangxi Longquanshan Hospital Appropriate ignoring, baby learns to behave If baby has gotten used to using crying to achieve his purpose, it is suggested that mom and dad can moderately ignore and tell him, “Mom won’t buy you a toy because you are crying.” Then go about your business and leave your baby alone to cry. When your baby finds out that crying is useless, he will naturally dry his tears and try another way next time. Negotiate terms to extend the time to get satisfaction Even at just over a year old, baby is a master negotiator. When he refuses to open his mouth to brush his teeth, negotiate with him: “Open your mouth and after you brush your teeth, mommy will blow up a balloon for you to play with.” As long as the reward makes your baby feel good, it won’t take long for him to willingly cooperate, and it works better as your baby gets older. Mom and dad can gradually extend the time of satisfaction, for example: after eating lunch, they will take baby to his favorite train in the afternoon.
