When I checked my private messages these days, I found that a friend's message aroused my interest. The content of the message is:
"Mother Green, what if the baby likes to bite things, sometimes it bites people, why is that?"
This question reminds me of my nephew. When my nephew was 1 year old, he always loved to bite things, sometimes had emotional breakdowns, and there would be "biting" situations, and my cousin was also distressed.
In fact, many families' babies will have such problems. If the baby has the habit of "loving to bite things", he will not care what is put in the mouth, such as a finger, a toy puppet, or a remote control, which may be put in the mouth by the baby.
In fact, many parents only know that the baby's habit of biting things is not good, but they do not know that the baby loves to bite things, and even the habit of biting people is for a reason, which is also my original intention in writing this article, today we will talk about it together.
Why babies like to bite
A. It is in the "oral period"
The so-called oral period is actually the period when the baby needs to perceive objects through oral touch. At the same time, you can also satisfy your own appetite.
When the baby is at this stage, parents need to take special care, because at this time, the baby may put everything in the mouth, such as his feet, his own small hands and so on.
B. "Tooth Aging Period"
When the baby successfully passes the "oral desire period", there will be a tooth attack period, which is actually to start the stage of growing teeth.
Babies are generally in the age of about 1 year old, the mouth begins to show signs of teeth, at this time the new teeth will stimulate the gums, resulting in sensitive gums. And the baby will start to want to grind his teeth, this time the baby especially likes to put the object in the mouth to rub.
C. When the baby is unwell
Before the child learns to speak, when he encounters physical discomfort, in addition to crying, there is also a way of expression is to bite people, in order to attract the attention of parents.
If it is because of the lack of trace elements that the baby likes to bite, then the parents should be paid attention to, the lack of trace elements in the body can not only lead to the baby "love to bite things" situation. There may also be other physical conditions, need to pay special attention, parents are best to take the baby to the hospital for examination, listen to the doctor's advice.
D, the baby also has "emotional problems"
When your baby is still young and unable to express his emotions through words, he may make some actions to express his anger and dissatisfaction. Such as dropping things, such as biting people and so on.
"Capturing Children's Sensitive Period" is one of Sun Ruixue's education series, which mentions:
When a child is born, he can only expose himself to the outside world through his mouth.
An easy way to improve your baby's "litter" habit
Every time the nephew bites something, the cousin originally did not yell and say something that the baby did not understand, such as "you can't bite things casually", (the one-year-old baby is still in the language germination stage, and actually does not understand what this sentence means at all);
It is to directly reach out to grab the baby's things, the result is directly caused by the baby's emotional collapse, crying non-stop, and her mother still has to coax for half a day, tired to no.
Later, I talked to a child psychologist for a long time, and learned that there are some ways to easily change the bad habit of babies who love to bite things, which is simply four words "the right medicine".
A. Check whether the baby is in the "oral period" or "budding period"
As mentioned above, babies in the teething stage will definitely have the habit of biting things randomly, no matter what it is to touch and see the reaction after the reaction, it is always put in the mouth for half a day.
If the baby finds that the baby has this habit, you can observe whether the baby is in these two stages, that is, the "oral period" and the "teething period", if so, then parents can buy the baby some non-toxic and harmless teething sticks to help the baby exercise chewing ability, but also to quit the bad problem of biting things.
B. When the baby has an emotional breakdown
If this is the case, it is necessary for parents to correct their baby's behavior habits and personality characteristics from an early age.
Many babies will express their dissatisfaction through the habit of biting or dropping things, in fact, if this habit is formed, it will lead to the child's future behavior becoming violent, and it will also lead to character defects. Therefore, once parents find that the baby has biting behavior due to emotional problems, they need to pay more attention.
At this time, parents can guide the baby, how to express their emotions in the right way, but also need to carefully observe the baby's "forbidden area", generally around the age of 1, the baby's temperament began to show, so when the baby appeared to bite the action, it has already indicated that he is very angry, parents should be patient and pacify.
C. Other circumstances
When the baby's body lacks trace elements, it may also be possible to love to bite or love to bite things. However, the lack of trace elements in the body will also be manifested in other aspects, if parents find that the baby not only has the characteristics of loving to bite, but also has other problems in the body, they need to take the baby to the hospital for physical examination.
In the book "Capturing Children's Sensitive Periods", it is mentioned that:
Normal children have two excellent characters one for a big child to take care of a small child and not to beat a child; Children beat big children, big children don't fight back, don't remember hate. This is not a quality of our education.
When parents find that the baby begins to have a situation of "loving to bite" or biting things, the parents not only need to understand the reasons why the baby "loves to bite", but also need to correctly guide the baby's behavior, cultivate the baby's personality, and help the baby change this bad habit.
