Your child looks at the broken cookie and starts crying and shouting "But it's broken". Sound familiar?
Accumulated stress causes children to cry at any time. For example, he hasn't seen you during the day. He misses you very much, but in the evening he cries about something else. "Why is this pencil blue, I don't want it to be like this"...
It is so precious to spend time with your children during the day in such a way that you are there in the moment...
It helps to translate feelings and needs.
What can be done in case of crying spells?
Examples of emotion translation;
You might be feeling sad right now.
You can be very tired. I'm tired today, too.
I think you're bored right now.
Examples of need language sentences;
I see we need to spend some time together.
I think you might need to move a little...
Choregulation (Calming down together)
Soft touch
Eye contact
Hug..
In the face of crying crises, it is very valuable to understand the underlying need, the emotion, to allow it to express itself and to calm down together instead of suppressing crying...
I hope it will be useful...
