The reason why preschool babies like to scream
1. Release emotions
Needless to say, adults are unhappy or too excited and want to scream, but the child does not care about whether the face looks good like adults. He lets himself go and screams if he wants to.
2. It can successfully attract your attention
Have you noticed that when the child is obedient, he will lose his parents' attention. Once the scream makes noise, the parents will immediately gather around. Is there any way to try it all!
3. Explore the limits of your own voice
Children are very curious and like to explore and take risks. For example, he will try to see how high he can climb, how far he can throw things, how messy he can make his home, etc.
Exploring the limits of his own voice is also one of his daily explorations. He will want to know how loud he can shout, how high the frequency he can reach, how much effort he uses, how much he will make his voice hoarse, and how much he will make his parents crazy...
Coping methods
1, respond to the baby's screams softly
Many parents think that the baby screams very cutely, and will show exaggerated imitation and screaming voices to talk to him. This is something that only makes the child feel that screaming is particularly interesting. It is a sign that parents like. The more they shout, the more they become, the more they shout, the louder they shout, and the more they use screaming, treating screaming as a game to interact with his mother. The correct way is to respond to the baby's screams, and also pay attention to the voice of conversation with him as small as possible and a gentle tone. The baby doesn't understand the adults call him "shut up", but he will imitate the adults' whispers and stop screaming wildly. Because the adult's volume is very small, the baby can only hear what the adult is saying clearly when he is quiet. Therefore, it can relieve the baby's emotions to a certain extent and teach him the skills to listen carefully when communicating with others.
2. Exchange waiting for initiative
What if the baby is still very excited and keeps screaming? At this time, we can choose to wait. Waiting means staying with your baby, but not reacting otherwise. He neither compromised with the baby, met his requirements, nor shouted loudly, using roar to roar. As long as you stay calm and wait for a while, the baby will eventually calm down because there is no audience, fail to achieve his goal, or vent enough. In this way, we can easily get back the dominance without any effort. When she screams, I will hold her index finger up, put it in front of her mouth, or open her hands and put it in front of her ears, and make "listening" actions. At the beginning, the baby ignored me, but every time she screamed, I would do this action. After repeated repeated actions, she gradually seemed to understand. I did this action to make her stop screaming and cooperated very well.
3. Teach the baby to speak in time instead of screaming
If parents can learn to distinguish the baby's emotions earlier and make the baby's corresponding reaction, their "screaming" behavior will slowly disappear. Also, remember to guide your baby to speak in time. When the baby no longer screams subconsciously but cannot speak, he will still scream when he cannot express himself. Teaching your baby to speak starts with simple words, such as parents, breasts, and hugs. You can also tell the baby this action when doing some movements. If your baby learns to speak earlier, he can express himself earlier and speak simple words instead of screaming.
At that time, in order to divert the baby's attention, I sometimes learned to speak softly by the little girl and speak in a low voice by the uncle. He also learns from different animals such as birds, elephants, tigers, etc., making various sounds. When I speak in this way, she will not be obsessed with speaking in screaming ways. There is really no shortcut to the game of raising children. From childhood to adulthood, every small problem and every different stage requires parents to overcome it step by step. As the saying goes, mothers are hard, and raising children is really tired and laborious, but the arrows that are drawn cannot turn back. What should I do? I can only deal with them by chance. Learn slowly with her and grow up.
