The baby is wrapped in the mother and can gain a sufficient sense of security. Once born, he loses the mother's protection and begins to come into contact with new things, new environments, various sounds and lights.
Emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, and fear are normal emotions for everyone. Autistic children will also have these emotions, such as crying when they are sad and laughing when they are happy. We must respect all emotions of children.
Family Training Diary
Qiqi is a 5-year-old child with autism spectrum. He has good self-care ability, but his language development is poor. Every time he heard thunder and rain, Qiqi would be particularly scared. His mother covered Qiqi's ears tightly until the thunder stopped or left that place. But my father said, "Male, don't cry, what's there to be afraid of?" "Male is not allowed to cover your ears." The situation of Qiqi has not improved, but has worsened.
Competition Dad said that in the case of
, the child's fear is more serious than others, which has a lot to do with the way parents deal with it. For example, mothers are more spoiled to the child. When the child is afraid, parents can provide companionship and comfort, but the comfort method given by the mother is wrong. It is a particularly terrible thing to strengthen the thunder with the act of covering the ears.
The father's approach is also wrong. We cannot scare the child with language such as "not crying" and "crying again and beating you". It is a normal emotional expression for children to be afraid of. Dad uses "manly" to restrain his children. This is a wrong concept. We must respect and accept their emotions.
Our suggestions
1. Accompanying
The reason why children are afraid is that they lack security, so when lightning and thunder are roaring, parents should accompany their children, hold the child, comfort her, and make him feel more secure. For example, holding the child tightly and saying, "Mom hugs you, don't be afraid." You can hum children's favorite children's songs gently in your child's ears to reduce the chances of children hearing thunder.
2. Parents' attitude
When children are afraid of everything, parents should not blame their children simply because they think that their children are timid, and boys should not be afraid. This idea is wrong. We should allow children to be afraid and let children know that fear is normal. Many people are afraid of many things when they are young, and don’t blame them or even laugh at them.
3, popular science
Parents can use picture books and related video materials to let their children understand the process of thunder and rain, how far away they are from us, and other related knowledge to help children eliminate their fear of lightning, At the same time, teach children how to avoid lightning outside, For example, when thunder and rain, they cannot hide under big trees or under telephone poles; they cannot get close to rivers or ponds to avoid water rise and danger.
4. Develop language expression
4. Children's language ability is poor, so parents should consciously improve their children's language ability. For example, when a child is afraid, we can enter language such as: "fear" and "thunder". If the child is particularly afraid, we must first soothe the child well, and after confirming that no factors can cause the child to be afraid. Just talk to the child, what happened just now? What’s wrong with you? Help children improve their language skills.
