What to do if your child is very nervous
Hot temper, irritability, “riots on the ship” are frequent manifestations of growing up, age crises. But there are other reasons for parents’ concern. It is up to a neuropathologist to figure out why the child is very nervous, and where the line is between incontinence and breakdown. There is nothing terrible in going to a doctor. Not satisfied with the state polyclinic, where they know each other by sight? A private institution will come to the rescue. And sometimes such “outbreaks” go away on their own.
It is no coincidence that the child is very nervous – look for the reason.
Why did the child suddenly become very nervous
Babies become especially nervous every year, from 2 to 3 years old (crisis of “independence”), at 7 and beyond. Parents have heard a lot about adolescence, and they remember it by themselves. The reasons why the child became very nervous are related to social, physiological and psychological factors.
- Desire for independence, to separate from parents, although the baby himself still cannot imagine himself without them.
- Temperament. Choleric people always achieve what they want (shouts, hysterics).
- Fatigue. Babies do not want to be overexcited. Their stop “button” does not work, so babies and children under 3 years old are protected from long noisy events, watching cartoons and wild holidays with all relatives and friends.
- Violation of the schedule of the day.
- Spoiledness. Parents are sometimes ready to give children all the toys, so long as they do not claim attention, care, time.
- Lack of clear focus and parental unity. Dad gives the drill to play, Mom takes it. Or mom says “no” today and tomorrow, and “yes” the day after tomorrow.
- Physiological problems. Neuroses today do not surprise anyone. It happens that a child is very nervous due to illness (stuffy nose, teething), hormonal changes (adolescents), developmental problems.
No need to shout at your son or daughter (although parents are not iron, you can understand the reaction). You need to drip yourself a sedative and adequately assess the situation.
The child is very nervous: what to do
If breakdowns occur regularly, you need to go to the children’s clinic. The pediatrician can spot problems that moms and dads won’t notice. Sometimes a neurologist helps.
If parents are shy, you should think about the child – the offspring are nervous with epilepsy, autism. You need to remember about your responsibility to children.
But the reasons also lie elsewhere, on which the solution of the problem depends.
- They talk heart to heart, show that they love their son and daughter. Children are told about puberty, first love in advance.
- We need to help them know and develop themselves. Interest sections and moderate physical activity will relieve excess irritability.
- Watch the baby. Nervous “performances” start in the middle of the square or at the shop window? They hug the baby and say that the purchase will be made later. Not that? The child is left alone, but not far away. He still does not hear now – neither curses, nor reassurances.
- It is necessary to be close to children and always have a heart-to-heart talk.
And sometimes, when the child is constantly very nervous, what caring and compassionate parents and grandmothers do not know to do, you need to take a look at yourself. The words and deeds of moms and dads diverge, does the family lack adults’ respect for each other or their “I”? Then you will have to unravel the tangle with yourself …
