The child can walk, why do you have to hug it when you go out?
As a mother, do you often encounter such a situation: the little one in the family can already walk, and even run and jump, but as soon as he goes out, he becomes "squeamish", and he has to be held by his mother. Why is that?Today we will talk about this topic and reveal the careful thinking behind the babies.
1.The need for a sense of security
For babies, a mother's arms are the warmest and safest place. Especially in an unfamiliar environment, the surrounding scenery and sounds may make them feel uneasy. At this time, they need to gain a sense of security through physical contact with their mothers and confirm that they are protected.
2.Curiosity and a desire to explore
Babies are little explorers by nature, and they are curious about everything around them. When they walk, their eyes are about the same level as adults, and all they can see are their legs, cars on the street, etc., which may not be so attractive to them. But in the mother's arms, the eyes are raised, and they can see more interesting things, such as signboards in high places, scenery in the distance, etc., which will undoubtedly satisfy their curiosity more.
3.A little inertia
Sometimes, your baby's begging for a cuddle may just be due to a small inert seizure. After all, walking is a "physical work", and being held by someone can enjoy the scenery in a good way, so why not do it?Especially after walking for a while, babies may feel tired, and they are more willing to snuggle up in their mother's arms for a while.
4.The need to socialize
What you may not know is that babies also have their own "social circles". When they are held by their mothers, they are heightened and it is easier to make eye contact with the adults and children around them, which is very beneficial for their social development. Moreover, being held by their mother can also make them feel more attention and love, which is also beneficial for their emotional development.
5.Expressions of love
Of course, sometimes babies may beg for a hug just because they want to show their love and dependence on their mother. In the baby's world, hugging is the most direct and pure way to express emotions. They feel the warmth and love of their mothers by hugging them, and at the same time, they also respond to their mother's love in this way.
So, how should you deal with it as a mother?In fact, proper hugging is very beneficial to the growth of the baby. It not only satisfies the baby's need for a sense of security, but also promotes emotional communication between parents and children. But at the same time, be careful not to spoil your children too much!Give your baby a warm hug when they need it, and encourage them to walk more and exercise when they are able to walk independently.
In conclusion, there are a variety of possible reasons behind a child's behavior of asking for a hug. As a mother who knows her child best, she needs to carefully observe and understand the needs of her baby, and at the same time teach them to be independent and strong. Let's continue to learn and progress together on the road of parenting!
