Try a few days to listen carefully to all the complaints of the baby, how to respond to them and you will be surprised how changes your relationship with your own baby. In a better way.





Complaint No. 1. Fatigue

Options: "I'm tired", "I can't" — and so the whole day, no matter how much time has passed after the holiday.

Secret meaning of complaints: Complaining of fatigue, a child stating a fact and waiting for your response. If you are too passionate about some thing- thus, he may be trying to attract your attention. If you download it, Vice versa, too – complaining of fatigue, baby means "leave me alone". But to moan child starts every time you give him an unpleasant task – it's just a way to manipulate you. The baby does not want to admit that he has no desire to fulfill your request. Overall, just a child it seems that complaints of fatigue sounds less offensive to you and more believable for it.

How to respond: find Out what the baby is tired, and what kind of help he expects from you: to sympathize, to sit or to disappear from his sight. Take the child to relax, negotiate the length of the pause in Affairs: "you will now watch a cartoon (sleep) and rest, and then we'll go to the store (continue to do)". Don't forget some time later to ask about the well-being of a son or daughter. Thus, you show that don't pass the complaints on deaf ears and I really worry for the child.

Do not say: "it was Necessary less to run (to shout, to indulge in...)" — now is not the time for criticism. If the child is manipulating you, not need to demonstrate that you know the real reason for his whims — "you're Always tired when I ask to help me." Better next time before anything to ask, ask about his health. Then the baby will not be able to simulate, under the guise of fatigue.
 

Complaint No. 2. Boredom

Options: To the question, why are you so sad a child responds that he is bored. Although it is clear and without words, the expression on his face.

How to respond: encourage your child to plan their free time. Decide together when he will play, when to draw, when to watch cartoons, and when to do homework. "You go after kindergarten to play a bit, then we both read it, and then you get to watch cartoon. Alternate pastime and independent of the child's play. If you notice that the kid's messing around with a dull expression – ask that he now has to plan what he's going to do.

Do not say: "Well, do something – you have so many toys," "Go, read (clean your room) – if you do not know what to do!". It is undesirable to offer child "fun" to him uninteresting things. From this alternative it will become even more sad.
 

Complaint No. 3. Other children

Options: "Pasha beats me," "Mary takes my toys" — and so after each communication with peers. All around bad — one it is good.

Secret meaning of complaints: If the complaint says the three year old toddler is normal. But if the other children complains the child is 5-6 years of age – this indicates the inability to find a common language with their peers. If the child is always looking for the guilty – he does not know how to analyze their own behavior and the behavior of other children. Most likely the kid had little contact with other children. He's used to having adults (parents, grandparents, older brothers and sisters) always inferior to him, and wonders why other children behave differently.

How to respond: Often leave your child alone with other children. If the children can not divide or argue – don't get. Give Chad the opportunity to solve their problems. When the baby complains, try him to logically explain the behavior of other children. "Pasha hits you not because it's bad but because you took his machine".
Do not say: "You are to blame" — now it is not necessary to search for the guilty, you need to explain to a child why other children behave this way and not otherwise.

Options: "Grandma always makes me eat soup and I have a stomach ache", "the Teacher puts me to sleep during the day and night I can't sleep."

Secret meaning of complaints: Such complaints often arise when all of the adults who are raising a child, different views on the pedagogical process. The child does not understand why mother resolves not to sleep during the day, and the teacher makes; why the parents can not eat soup, and my grandmother insists.

Do not say: "Tell your grandmother I told you not to eat the soup" — no need to manipulate the adults with the child. "Grandma's not right" — such statements you are setting up the baby against other adults (who do not comply to his upbringing).





Complaint No. 5. The lack of free time

In advance warn the child about the planned works "turn off the game after 20 minutes, we'll wash the floor." Then he will be able mentally prepared for the unpleasant duty and your request will not be a surprise to him.

Do not say: "You just do everything very slowly" — your task is to make a daily routine tailored to the individual characteristics of the child. If you know that the baby long dress (washes, ect) allot for these procedures as much time as he needs.

And when he finally speak out, summarize: "I'm sure you can handle it, you're so smart (a real athlete, the prettiest, the best at singing...)".

Do not try to analyze the situation and get to the truth. Your task is to return the child's belief in themselves and an optimistic Outlook on life. Be sure to ask how you can help in this situation and suggest a few solutions to the problem (let me teach you to draw, I want to enroll in a music school).

Do not say: do Not try to calm the child with phrases like "this is the problem! Here me today ...". At the moment the child is looking for a shoulder to cry on.

While from outside he did not like to hear, and I'm sure they live much easier.
