So-and-so's mother
Hello Grandma Zhang: My baby is more than 1 year old, before it was me and his dad looking at him, every time he played and fell down, I and his dad did not have any reaction, he would get up on his own to continue to play, but recently Grandma came to the house, I found that the child fell down again will first look at who is standing around, if it is me and his dad, he will stand up on his own, but if it is Grandma, he will lie on the ground and cry, Grandma will hurry to coax him, but the more he cries, the more severe it is, even we used to coax it is useless. If the baby falls, how should parents react appropriately?

The smaller the child's pain perception is less acute, the pain after the baby falls is actually not as painful as the adult imagines, the child's pain and pain will be greatly affected by psychology and emotions, and the adult's emotional performance will be used as a reference.
When the child sees your calm expression, he does not feel pain, so he will stand up and continue to play; but when you calm him in the past tensely, it will make the child who was not necessarily in pain think that he is indeed in pain, and the more he coaxes, the more painful he feels, so the more he cries, the more fierce.
Therefore, at the first time when the child falls, you should calmly encourage him to stand up, and praise his bravery, so that the child understands that there is nothing wrong with falling, which is conducive to cultivating the child's strong and brave good qualities. However, if the child does fall more severely, it still needs to be treated, depending on whether it is necessary to go to the hospital.
