A two-year-old baby has already grown up and has obvious characteristics of their own. They have developed a rebellious mentality, have learned a lot, and are actively learning everything they see. Mothers should actively educate their two-year-old babies to prevent them from learning badly. So how to educate a two-year-old baby?
1、 Characteristic analysis of 2-year-old baby
At around the age of 2, babies undergo significant physiological and psychological changes, which often make people feel that 2-year-old babies are difficult to raise. So, what are the characteristics of a 2-year-old baby?
1. Rebellious mentality appears, everything must be done by oneself
When a baby reaches the age of 2, due to the continuous growth of various abilities, he can walk, run, and speak, so he often feels like, 'I have grown up and can do everything by myself.' This often leads to having to do everything on his own, but often not doing it very well, making parents nervous as well.
For example, a baby may ask themselves to wear clothes or shoes before going out, but they waste a lot of time due to their lack of proficiency. After wearing them for a long time, they still can't wear them properly. At this time, parents will definitely be very anxious and want to reach out to help, but the baby stubbornly insists on completing the task on their own. Over time, parents may lose patience and nag a few words, and the child may cry out of grievance. Then a parent-child drama will play out again
When the above plot repeats itself, caregivers naturally feel that a 2-year-old baby is really difficult to deal with, behaving like a cute little angel when not making noise; But once he gets angry, he looks like a 'little devil', which is really frightening to learn from.
2. Dependent psychological separation anxiety
The parents have just left for a while, and the baby has already been covered in snot and tears. What's going on? Do we have to stay close at all times? Parents may often have the feeling that their child, while resisting, has developed a serious dependence on you, and once they leave you, they will immediately cry.
At the age of 2, it is the time when babies develop "dependence", so at this time, babies will experience "separation anxiety" towards their closest people (parents or primary caregivers). They stick to their parents or caregivers like an acorn candy and do not want to be separated for a moment, otherwise they will cry endlessly. Such "dependence" is very troublesome for parents, and even going out becomes a big problem. At this point, parents often consider whether to send their babies to daycare. Some babies have weaker language abilities at this time and only express their emotions through crying. Even if their parents try to reason with them, they still cry incessantly, leaving parents with the impression that it is difficult to communicate with a 2-year-old baby.
3. Difficulty getting along with others
Even if a 2-year-old baby goes to daycare, they are usually a difficult role in the hearts of teachers. Through observation, we found that 2-year-old babies are more prone to grabbing toys from classmates, occasionally biting or pushing people. Why is this happening? Actually, this is related to the psychological changes in the baby. Baobao has just entered another unfamiliar environment from a comfortable home, and it is inevitable that he will feel a little uncomfortable. At home, he is the only treasure, and he will naturally think, "Everything is mine!" Seeing what others have, he also wants to have it, which is a characteristic of 2-year-old babies and often makes parents and teachers feel very difficult.
2、 How to educate a two-year-old baby
Around the age of 2, babies' psychology and behavior are undergoing changes. With the development of intelligence and language, babies begin to have their own ideas, but due to the lack of practical experience and ability to handle things on their own, they often exhibit behaviors that are difficult for others to understand, causing parental distress and increasing conflicts between parents and children.
Understanding these changes in the baby and comprehending their behavior is the foundation for parents to get along with their baby. Here are two methods to better interact with your baby.
Method 1: Storytelling Education
Many parents may question whether they can understand children by reasoning with them, but don't underestimate their abilities! Talking to a child in a language they can understand usually yields good results. You may also try telling stories to guide children and try to communicate positively with them, which may have unexpected effects.
Method 2: Consistent Education Model
If the child has already entered kindergarten, it is also necessary for parents to communicate more with the school teachers. Parents can record their children's situations at home and bring the records to school for discussion with teachers, establishing an educational model that is as consistent as possible between family education and school education. This way, children will not be at a loss and their psychology and behavior will be easier to grasp and guide.
