Complete immersion in the child's world is equally harmful to the child as it is to the young mother. An important skill is the ability to differentiate one's personal space.
A breastfeeding mother needs a full sleep and a normal diet to restore her strength because irritation and nervous breakdown can seriously affect the further formation of the child's psyche.
Time spent on yourself is nothing else but the prevention of emotional burnout. If you don't let your child understand about three years old that besides him your mother has her own life, it will be extremely difficult to explain it later.
It is very important for the child to have her own space, and not to violate her own boundaries. Familiar and familiar things for him/her are the crib, favorite toy — a sign of calmness and reliability. If the child feels safe and secure, he or she will not invade another person's territory for no reason.
Valuable things should be kept in an inaccessible place, if possible, if the child has found them, in any case, it is not necessary to scold him, this behavior can cause subconscious anger. A child of this age is aware of the world “to the touch”, it is much more important for him to touch a thing than to possess it. Until the age of five, one should not expect a child to be able to overcome everything on his own but to be supported by actions. For example, if a child has climbed a dangerous hill, do not shout: “Get down immediately”, it is better to take him off and say: “You can't!”
A young mother should not neglect her desires — excessive perfectionism can affect the child, he will grow weak and not adapted to life. There is no point in becoming an ideal for the child, in the early years the child needs safety, satisfaction of daily needs, he needs to explore the world around him.
There are several simple ways to keep the child occupied:
- Game. The child has to choose his own entertainment. There is no need to limit your child to strict rules and to focus on mistakes;
- Cleaning assistance. You can ask your child to help unpack or clean up the dust. It is important for the child to get a meaningful task, not only to develop adequate self-esteem, but also to develop certain skills of independence;
- Joint activities. It is common for children to be imitated by adults, if you talk on the phone — give him a toy, if possible, you should try to do everything together;
- Audiobooks. Babies are usually willing to be distracted by them. In addition, the acoustic perception of information contributes to the development of imagination and memory.
