I believe that mothers must have enjoyed this kind of moment:
A child who jumps and jumps during the day will be happy to fall asleep next to him at night, looking at his sleeping face.
At the same time, you may also be happy with the child's strange sleeping position.
When it comes to sleeping positions, don't underestimate this inadvertent little gesture.
From this, you can often see the child's personality and inner activity.
The UK Sleep Assessment Centre has conducted a study on "sleeping posture", and the results show that:
The sleeping position is a subconscious action that is rarely controlled by the consciousness, and the information it conveys is almost deceptive and can truly reflect the psychological state of the person.
Scientists also analyzed through statistics that "sleeping posture and human personality also have a certain degree of connection."
Today, just list a few common sleeping positions for children, come and check them out against your children!
The large-character sleeping position, also known as the "starfish type" sleeping position.
As the name suggests, this sleeping position faces up, hands and feet are spread out, and the whole body is like a "big" word.
Most people who sleep easily snore fall asleep in this position.
And this sleeping position, showing a very relaxed state, if the child sleeps in this position, it means that he has a happy mood recently, and there is no excessive pressure and burden on the psychology.
People who have long been in a "big font" sleeping position belong to the natural optimist faction. When encountering difficult things, we will always face and solve them with a positive attitude.
Because of this good mindset, you can hardly feel the presence of pressure in them, and they are always motivated.
Not only that, but this kind of child is also a good listener and talker, willing to help friends, which will make it easy for them to make friends and have full communication skills!
(Secretly tell you that they are still potential team leaders.)
When educating such children, our focus can be on how to make children more practical and stable, which is more conducive to their future development.
The fetal sleeping position is arguably the most common sleeping position, especially for women.
This sleeping position is like a baby in the mother's belly, with its legs bent and her whole body curled up in a ball. Although it looks cute, it is actually a manifestation of inner insecurity.
Children who often sleep in the fetal position are easily shy and will be more sensitive in their hearts than other children.
Sometimes they seem calm, but maybe just to hide their inner turmoil.
At the same time, such children have a strong dependence on close people and will lie in front of them.
When you find that your child is falling asleep in this position, find a time to chat with them, find out if something has happened recently, make them feel uneasy, and help them relax.
If the child does not want to say anything, just take him out to play for a circle, and the uneasy mood can also be alleviated.
This kind of sleeping position, like falling from a high place and falling to the ground, face down, holding pillows on all fours, looks quite funny.
Funny aside, the free-fall sleeping position actually has one advantage: it is easy to digest.
Children who often use this sleeping position are more extroverted in personality.
With them, not only will you not feel bored, but you will also be very interested in playing with them.
However, this type of child also has a characteristic: to be strong, to face.
If you criticize them in public and make them not come to the stage, it will exacerbate their rebellious mentality, and the educational effect is minimal.
At the same time, the mood of such children will change frequently, their emotions are easily affected by the outside world, and they are less likely to self-regulate and control their emotions, which also needs to be guided by parents.
For example, tell them how to calm down when they are angry; how to motivate themselves when they are depressed; and how to stabilize their mentality when they win.
This sleeping position can be said to be the most well-behaved sleeping position.
Face up on your back, with your hands on either side of your body and your head slightly to one side. Many well-trained soldiers sleep in this position, so it is called "soldier sleeping posture".
Children in this type of sleeping position may not have a high sleep quality, be easily woken up, and occasionally snore.
But at the same time, they also have a clear advantage: they are planned and organized.
Quiet, step-by-step, high-quality completion of each task is their norm.
Seeing this, do you think this is simply the child of your dreams? If that's what your kids are, then congratulations!
But also pay attention to it, this kind of children because of their own high requirements, usually feel a lot of pressure, timely take them to relieve this pressure, is the primary goal of parents.
Tight and tight, loose and relaxed, a relaxed life is what this kind of child needs most.
The wooden sleeping position is especially suitable for children with straight spines and a little stiffness.
But the child sleeps in this position for a long time, pay attention to whether he has a problem with spine and back pain.
This kind of sleeping posture of the child, the personality and the tree is also a bit similar, although it looks a little "silly", but "honesty, integrity" are actually very good qualities.
In the process of getting along with a group of people, they are often the most social one, because everyone will be impressed by their sincere attitude.
However, being too honest and simple can also bring about a disadvantage: it is easy to trust others.
Although kindness is a good thing, Chen Ma has emphasized many times:
The premise of kindness must be to protect yourself, don't get yourself wet because you hold an umbrella for others.
Therefore, parents need to pay attention to strengthening the vigilance of such children, and can give more examples to their children and simulate more similar scenes every day.
Let's start with the specific position of this sleeping position: the body lies on its side, and the arms are extended outward from the chest, as if it were facing the direction of lying on the side, embracing something.
This sleeping position has a certain alleviating effect on stomach acid reflux, and diseases such as apnea during sleep rarely occur.
And this kind of sleeping posture of children, will always maintain curiosity about new things, more desire to explore.
Such excellent quality, we should make good use of it.
When the child shows a strong curiosity about something, it is best to "decipher" with him and guide him to find the answer, thus stimulating his motivation to continue to explore.
In addition, this type of child also has some small shortcomings, and they will be a little suspicious and entangled in life.
For example, before facing something, they will be very slow to make a decision.
Because they need to weigh the pros and cons repeatedly and consider a lot of factors. (But once they decided to do it, it was also determined, and it was difficult for them to change that decision.) ）
This kind of easy to tangled child, do not force him to make a quick decision, a little slower, wait for them, and when he thinks about it, he will naturally make a choice.
Although the sleeping position cannot fully reflect the child's personality, the subconscious action in sleep can still be used as one of the bases for judging the child's personality and psychological activities in a short period of time.
Like the "wooden sleeping position" mentioned in the article, dr. Izkovasky summed up the personality rules after surveying and tracking data on 500 children ranging from 5 to 10 years old.
It is enough to see that the relationship between sleeping posture and personality is of a certain scientific nature.
The article written today is also hoping that parents can carefully observe their children's usual words and deeds, so as to better understand and educate their children.
