Adjusting to Routine: A guide
Your little ones can find it a bit harder to adjust to a routine. Since they’re still little, it could be because they’ve spent most of their life crawling around and having fun. Dropping your child off at daycare seems scary but the idea has been around for many generations because of how simple it becomes to have your baby on a schedule.
Your infant would need to adjust to some pretty big changes. Not only would they find themselves in a whole new place which can be scary for children, but they would also find themselves away from their parents. To counter this, you might want to consider introducing your little one to the wonders of their classrooms early on. Giving them a chance to walk around on their own and discover the place would have them recognize it better.
Everything that your infant learns in their daycare, they could show to you when you pick them up. Why not greet them with words of encouragement and love to show them that you’re there for every milestone they achieve? Laughter is the best medicine one could have so having a happy home could help your child adjust easily to the routine in daycare as well.
Your little one is safe and secure. Help them adjust to the routine by encouraging them to be the best version of themselves and letting them explore themselves better.
How to deal with temper tantrums
Infants rarely can tell you why they’re upset. And while it may seem frustrating, you need to understand that because they can’t communicate well, you’ll have to understand the important cues and actions that indicate a certain problem.
It’s very normal for infants to have temper tantrums and cry a lot during their developmental stage. We’ve compiled some of the best tips to know when your baby is about to throw a tantrum and what you can do to stop it.
If your infant is having a breakdown and you don’t know why you should try soothing them by rubbing their back or holding them close to you so that they know you’re there for them. No matter where you are, try to remove your little one from the situation that seems to be upsetting them whether it’s a loud party or even an unfamiliar place.
If your child is a little bit older, you could try to help them verbalize their frustration even with the little bit of vocabulary they have. If they’re having a hard time doing something, you could help them by telling them how to break down the task into smaller pieces so they don’t feel as overwhelmed.
Reassuring your child will help you with the tantrums. Children often feel frustrated when they can’t explain why they’re upset. Try to tell them that it’s okay to feel this way and that you feel frustrated sometimes too. It will help them realize they’re not alone and they’ll be able to help you understand their problem much easier.
