Baby's fear of being born is a common phenomenon seen in babies' recognition. Because babies have very fixed contact with people in their daily lives, they only maintain a sense of closeness towards a few very familiar people, and may have resistance or fear towards strangers. However, as babies continue to grow, they will understand how to interact with strangers. So, what should a three-year-old baby do if they are afraid of people?
What should a three-year-old baby do if they are afraid of people
1. Prevent in advance. When babies don't know how to recognize people yet, it's important to consciously expose them to more people, such as having others breastfeed, drink water, change diapers, hold and play with them, or play with them while they talk. By exposing babies to unfamiliar people, they can better adapt to the various social environments they encounter.
2. Gradually expand the baby's social circle. The baby can recognize people, so the mother should start with the people that the baby is familiar with, let the baby get used to interacting with people outside of the mother, expand the range of contact with strangers, let the baby adapt to interacting with strangers little by little, and improve their ability to adapt to unfamiliar environments.
3. Do not force your baby to socialize with strangers. Parents need to pay attention to solving their baby's fear of being born and not rush for quick success, as this will only exacerbate the baby's exclusionary mentality. When there are strangers present and the baby is shy, it is allowed for the baby to gradually approach the stranger after getting familiar with them.
4. The advantage of creating opportunities for babies to play. Observe what things your baby is interested in, and then cultivate their strengths based on their interests, giving them more opportunities to showcase themselves and enhance their confidence. As their confidence increases, their fear of being born will gradually weaken.
5. Cultivate a sense of security in babies. Parents' attitudes and emotions should be stable, and the time of contact with their babies should also be fixed. Do not let the baby not see their mother for a long time, or say things like 'no matter what, I won't want you anymore', which will make the baby feel insecure.
What kind of toys are suitable for a three-year-old baby
1. Parents should choose toys that can promote the development of children's movements, such as large balls, hand carts, three wheeled strollers, etc., so that children can have full body movement and coordinated development of their movements during activities.
2. 3-4 year old children have obvious characteristics of randomness and emotionality in their hearts. Toys chosen for 3-4 year old children must have bright colors, beautiful shapes, vivid and interesting images to arouse their interest and attract them to play actively.
3. Children aged 3-4 still rely on direct perception to understand things, and parents can choose toys that focus on developing their children's sensory perception. Such as vivid colors, various dolls, animal toys, and electric toys that make various sounds for children to watch, allow children to fully perceive and repeatedly recognize the color, sound, shape, size, spatial contrast, material characteristics, etc. of objects, gradually mastering sensory standards and language expression methods.
A three-year-old baby is still in a sensitive period to various things. At this stage, children will be very sensitive to external things. The phenomenon of baby recognition is mostly caused by a lack of security in their living environment. Parents can guide their babies to actively contact strangers through some ways, gradually eliminating their sense of rejection and fear towards strangers.
