A few days ago, when I picked up my baby from school, I chatted with several mothers.
A mother complained: The bear child sleeps too much space at night, and often puts a "big" word, which makes her and her father unable to sleep, and recently plans to divide the bed for the child.
Another mother immediately said: Their children sleep at night, often shrink themselves into a ball, and correct them many times, but the bear child just doesn't change. As a result, she had to get up every night to see if the bear was blocked.
After listening to the complaints of two mothers, one mother who has studied psychology said that this may be the child passing on some information to you.
After returning home, I looked through a lot of information and found that the child's sleeping position can really reveal some different personality traits.
Psychologists have conducted sleep posture observation experiments on 100 people, and they have found that sleep position is related to the psychological state of the researched person to a certain extent.
This is because after the child is asleep, the body is completely relaxed and unrestrained, and the physical state at this time can best reflect his subconscious personality.
According to the results of the study, the following 5 different personalities suggested by sleeping positions are deliberately summarized, parents can compare them, if it is the last one, then congratulations.
Type 1: Sleeping on your side curled up
This sleeping position, in which the child sleeps on his side with his legs slightly bent, is psychologically considered a safety-seeking sleeping position.
Children who are often used to sleeping in this position may be more introverted and sensitive to the external environment, they are better at observing and thinking, and they do not like to express their thoughts directly.
These children will be more cautious and conservative in their personality traits in life.
Researchers speculate that the reason why children get used to this sleeping position is likely to be during the period of establishing a sense of security before the age of three, and parents do not give their children enough security to make children suffer from gains and losses.
Type 2: Sleeping on your stomach
There is no shortage of children in life who like to sleep on their stomachs.
The neighbor's 6-year-old son likes to sleep on his stomach since he was a child. Neighbors complained many times that when the child was young, he often couldn't sleep well at night, for fear that the child would be blocked in the middle of the night.
I thought it would be good to grow up, but I didn't expect that the child is now in elementary school, and he still likes to sleep on his stomach.
Psychologically, this sleeping position may be related to the child's inner tension and restlessness. Sleeping on your stomach can be seen as a defensive stance.
Children who like this sleeping position are actually transmitting tension to their parents. They protect themselves by hiding the softest abdomen of the human body, the most fragile neck.
In addition, children who like this sleeping position have a strong desire for control and autonomy, and they are not used to planning out of control, so this kind of child is usually more self-disciplined.
Type 3: "Fetal pose" curled up to sleep
A fetal curled up sleeping position is when a child sleeps curling up in a ball like a fetus. He leaves less room for the child than a side-lying curled up sleeping position.
This is actually a defensive posture, and children who like this sleeping position may be seeking comfort and protection psychologically, they are soft and shy inside, and they are wary of the outside world.
These children are more dependent and have a higher need for security, so if your child sleeps in this position, be sure to show more support and love for your child in your daily life.
Degenerative psychological defense mechanisms tell us that when a child is faced with anxiety and stress, it is possible to adopt positions similar to those of infancy for protection and comfort. Therefore, this kind of sleeping position mostly occurs in families that have just given birth to a second or third child.
If your family is in this state, it is Dabao sending you a signal for help, and it is recommended that parents pay more attention to Dabao's inner growth and psychological state.
Type 4: Sleeping on your back
Most children sleep on their backs, which is a regular sleeping position.
Children who are accustomed to this sleeping position tend to have a more stable and down-to-earth personality, they like to do things according to certain plans and rules, and pay more attention to order and organization.
Psychology believes that this sleeping position reflects the child's self-discipline and sense of responsibility. A child who is accustomed to this sleeping position may be the kind of person who can remain calm and rational in any situation.
There is a theory of self-control in psychology, and this sleeping position indicates to a certain extent that children have a strong sense of order and self-control.
Therefore, such children are better at planning and managing their own life and learning, and do not let their parents worry about the things they like.
Type 5: The word "big" is open to sleep
When a child is lying on the bed in a "big" shape with his limbs stretched freely, it usually reflects that the child is cheerful, confident, and broad-minded.
Psychologically, this open sleeping position is closely related to a child's self-confidence and carefree state of mind. They tend to be informal, willing to show themselves, and open to the outside world.
In addition, this sleeping position may also suggest that the child has a strong sense of self-identity and security, and is not afraid to expose his vulnerability.
According to statistics, this type of sleeping position accounts for 5% of children, although there are not many, but they all have special personalities.
This kind of child treats others generously, does not care, although he looks very aggressive, but he is also very responsible and responsible.
If the child sleeps in this position, many things do not need to be worried about by the parents, and he can do it well by himself.
You see, the seemingly ordinary sleeping position implies the children's inner thoughts and unintentional emotional expressions.
This tells us that parents, in fact, can judge the current mental state of their children by observing them more.
That's interesting, isn't it?
