I don't know when it started, but the baby became so stingy and didn't let other children play with their own things. He often said "no" to you to resist. You didn't understand and thought the baby was impolite. In fact, this is the emergence of his self-awareness, and the baby has entered a sensitive period of self-awareness.
What is the period of self-awareness sensitivity
The sensitive period of self-awareness usually occurs between the ages of 1.5 and 3, which is a very important sensitive period in the growth process of babies. During this process, they will gradually learn to distinguish the boundary between "mine" and "yours", say "no" to you, and even learn to hit, bite and other behaviors. If we use four words to describe babies during this period, it would be 'annoying to everyone'.
Parents who are not familiar with the sensitive period of self-awareness may think that their babies during this period are selfish, rough, and immature. In fact, as long as you delve deeper into it, you will find that this is something that babies must experience in their growth process. The behaviors that babies show that you find confusing are also very normal. If you blame the baby for these things, then it's your fault.
The Importance of Self Awareness Sensitivity Period
The period of self-awareness sensitivity is the most important among all sensitive periods for babies, as it is the earliest reflection of building a baby's future personality. What kind of person the baby will become in the future and whether their inner strength is strong all stem from the manifestation of self-awareness sensitivity period. During this period, parents should respect their babies' choices as much as possible. After all, the right to choose is in the hands of the baby. Do not force the baby based on your subjective consciousness, and do not judge the baby based on your moral values. What you need to do is to try to meet the needs of the baby at this stage and make him happy and obedient.
