As babies grow up, their memory will continue to increase. From initially only knowing their own parents to getting to know people around them, babies will gradually be able to get to know more and more people as they age. Moreover, after becoming familiar with a stranger, they will form their own memories that will not be forgotten in a short period of time. Therefore, babies are more and more likely to come into contact with and become familiar with strangers. However, what should babies do if they recognize a child at the age of two?
What should I do if my baby is two years old and still recognizes birth
1. Bring your baby in contact with outsiders more often. To alleviate the baby's recognition process, it is recommended to start with the baby before recognition. Mothers should take the baby out and around more often. When the baby gets used to interacting and playing with children in crowded environments, recognition will naturally become less severe.
2. But for babies who have already accepted birth, mothers should be careful to avoid exposing them to many strangers at once, and also not let everyone play with them together, as this will exacerbate the baby's panic. It is important to gradually show babies the fresh and interesting environment around them, allowing them to experience different people's voices and impressions.
3. Catering to the baby's preferences. Baby recognition is not something that is rejected by all. There are certain guidelines in the baby's mind about not getting close to strangers. Usually, babies prefer younger siblings or beautiful and gentle sisters or aunts who are younger than themselves.
4. To improve the baby's recognition process, mothers should not force the baby to accept any strangers. Instead, they can want their beautiful and gentle sister or aunt to hug them, or let them play with their little brother or sister.
5. Make the baby feel safe. Baby recognition is because they feel scared, but if they can feel secure, the situation of recognition can be alleviated. Mothers and family members should maintain a gentle attitude and emotional stability, especially when the baby is crying, they should not scold the baby, even though he still cannot understand adult language.
6. Mothers should also remind their relatives and friends to approach their babies slowly and gently. Never suddenly hand over your baby to a "stranger" to hold, as this will strengthen their vigilance and nervousness, making them feel insecure and even more afraid of interacting with strangers in the future.
Techniques to help babies adapt to strangers
1. Use familiar actions. For most babies, the fear brought by unfamiliarity will immediately make them cry. Let friends or relatives who are new to children understand your habits of taking care of them, try to imitate your movements as much as possible, and make the baby feel comfortable.
2. Create a sense of ceremony. For babies aged 7-12 months, their fear of strangers will increase. Try to establish a ceremony for your baby to understand that you are only temporarily away and will eventually return to her side.
3. Make up your mind. Once you make up your mind to let your baby know a stranger, provided that the stranger knows how to make the baby feel comfortable and you say goodbye to the baby, then you must persist until the end.
Baby recognition is a process of growth, and it is a comprehensive factor of parents and family that leads to the phenomenon of baby recognition. Therefore, parents need to patiently guide their babies through this stage, and they must not force their children to interact with strangers, let alone ridicule or scold them because they are unfamiliar with their babies. This will increase their sense of inferiority and create a rebellious mentality.
