How to wake up your child properly

Summer vacation is here, and children stay in bed every day, making parents very distressed. How to gently wake up your child, this article gives you the answer. After you learn it, you can wake up your child this way for school during the week. In fact, when a person wakes up, it is best to lie down with eyes open for ten minutes before sitting up to help your health. Give your child plenty of time to wake up. This time varies from person to person, some people need five minutes, some people need ten minutes …… Please decide the point of time you go to call your child based on this time. Don’t ask the person to pop up the moment you give the command. What is meant by a “kill wake”? A “kill wake” is a wake-up call that cuts off the start-up process and brings the person back to consciousness immediately. This brutal approach can have extremely bad effects on the child. It can cause a range of neurological or psychological problems, such as disruption of emotional control, impulsiveness, irritability, depression, delayed reaction, inattention, aggression, apathy, or crying. There are several common mistakes in telling children to get up 1, angrily rushed to the room, shouting “seven o’clock, do not get up!” You know, it is common for people to stay under the covers and in their subconscious dreams, so the accusatory wake-up call and language of “it’s wrong to sleep at this hour” can easily take away your child’s sense of sleep security. 2.Pulling away the child’s blanket This way not only seriously destroys the child’s sleep safety, but also the temperature change, which will suddenly attack the nervous system, even if the other party “whoosh” sat up, limbs are stiff. So it is not recommended to move anything that the child used to hold, hug or cover during sleep, that is the environment he feels safe, do not touch! 3, not at all gentle pat the child’s body Wake up, touch the child’s body, especially the rough “pat”, is very damaging, human under the control of the subconscious, for the sudden appearance of the body “attack”, in addition to a startled, will counterattack. In many sleep tests, “tapping” is the worst way to wake up, will immediately anger a docile sheep! 4, repeatedly nagging to keep calling Some parents will use the way of calling once every five minutes to wake up their children, which seems to give the child some “start-up time”, but in fact, the child in the process of switching and starting, constantly interrupted by your wake-up call, each time to start over, so the more you call, the more you can not get up. In fact, the first time a sleeping person receives the “wake up” signal, the person seems to be asleep at that time, in fact, his brain has already started to switch, no need to repeatedly call, he will naturally get up after starting. 5.Life noise to wake up Some parents do not purposely wake up their children, but use their own noise after waking up to wake up their children, such as walking, washing and brushing teeth, basin rubbing, talking …… This way will not wake up the dreamer, but will make the child feel extremely disgusted, because in the process of switching to start, the brain work is constantly interrupted by noise and cannot be done in a safe and quiet environment, leading to irritable waking up, and “wake-up call”. We can briefly summarize, any intense cut off the sleep process, the use of excessive noise, or uninterrupted noise to touch each other’s body, deprive the sleep security, etc., are “kill wake-up” way. Those wonderful ways to wake up 1. Tell your child the night before that you will wake him up in time for tomorrow morning, so that your child is mentally prepared in advance. If your child is already used to being woken up by you, there is no need to remind him/her. But if the time changes, for example, from 7:00 to 6:30, it is best to say: “Tomorrow I will wake you up half an hour earlier!” 2, use the light to wake up If you have a dimmable lamp, you can gradually turn on the lamp, and then turn it on and quietly walk away. Light will wake him up for you, because from ancient times, humans are woken up by light. Light will wake up the visual system, which will send signals to the subconscious, and wake up the brain and start the limbs, which is the most natural way to wake up. That is, it is safe and effective, and requires no effort from you at all. If you don’t have such a lamp at home, slowly and quietly pulling open the curtains is just as effective. 3. Use the aroma of breakfast to wake up Put the fragrant breakfast quietly on the bedside table, the aroma will send a gentle signal to the brain through the child’s olfactory system that “it’s time to get up and eat”. Of course, you can also use flowers with a pleasant aroma to achieve this effect. 4. Use music to wake up Please choose some soothing music and use a lower volume to send signals to the brain through the auditory system to wake it up. If there are some special ambient sounds, such as a few crisp birds chirping, creek babbling, etc., it is also good. 5, gentle strokes to wake up For those children who sleep deeper, it is not easy to wake up, you can use this method. But be careful to be gentle and gentle. The order of stroking should start with the hands, then the small arms, upper arms, cheeks… If the blanket is thick, touch the hands or small arms through the blanket. When your child slowly squirms and opens his eyes, smile at him and say, “Wake up! That’s it. Your hand better be warm and soft, cold and stiff hands will have the opposite effect. 6, lightly wake up first lightly touch the child’s bed, so that the child feel this small touch. For example, hands first pressed to the bed, or first sit on the edge of the bed. Then whisper the child’s name and say, “Do you want to get up now?” Asking for your child’s input will make your sleeping child feel safe and thoughtful. When the child nods with slightly open eyes, give him a smile and then quietly walk away to allow the child to complete the initiation without disturbance. 7. Use the same way to wake up When parents find a way to wake up that the other person is satisfied with, please insist on using it all the time and don’t change the way when nothing is wrong. Forming a habit of waking up one’s child not only succeeds in waking him up every time, but also develops the child’s love and attachment to you.
