Why does the baby love to hit the mother's face?Don't have this reaction, you will be "addicted"

The baby is getting bigger and bigger, and the physical damage brought to the parents is getting stronger and stronger. For example, which mother, I have never eaten the little palm of the baby? Intersection

You see, holding the baby in his arms teasing and playing, PIA's slap on his face, his hands stretched out, holding the hair that was not much ...

The more stop, the stronger the little guy.

I feel that the baby is very cute once or twice, and the number of times is too much, and I can't help but mutter:

Being people at such a young age, there is a tendency to violence, not to stop it!

Why is my mother always hurt?

How to stop?

Let's talk about this topic today.

Little baby fights 击 attack behavior

Don't be irritable.

First of all, let's make it clear that the baby's face is not a kind of attack, and it does not mean that the baby has a tendency to violence.

Instead, this is the process of exploring the world by little babies.

The American "Psychology Frontier Magazine" published an interesting experiment in 2019. The researchers found 24 2 to 6 months old babies and followed up until they were one year old.

Each experiment, researchers use the same toys to approach their babies, such as their foreheads, such as their left and right cheeks, and at the same time observe the baby's response.

The results showed that as the age increased, the baby would touch the toy by hand, and the manner was evolving by hand.

At first, I touched with a small fist and the back of the hand, and slowly turned into touch with the palm of my hand, and even later became a hard -working grab.

Regardless of whether it is gently touched, touched, or seeing the rude grabbing and fighting, from the perspective of the baby, they are the way they touch objects.

It may be difficult to understand for us: it is obviously fighting, how can it be touched?

This is because, touching this simple action, for adults, even for big children, it is really easy and normal, but for the baby, it is indeed a huge challenge.

To complete a touch action, not only requires touch and visual development, but also needs to leveraging the coordination of the hand ministry and even the physical muscle group. When the fine movements and big movements are not developed, the baby cannot control his strength and speed.

So, it seems that the baby is hitting people rudely, the baby’s original intention is actually: come, I want to touch you ~

Generally speaking, the baby's face is often because of love and excitement. Think about it, our adults are excited and can't help but slap, let alone a baby!

Why

Always mom?

Speaking of which, I believe that many old mothers can't help asking:

Face, drag your hair, pick up nostrils ... Why are these magic attacks from the baby always hurt? Intersection

Let's take a look at the two experiments together. I believe that there will be answers in everyone's heart after reading it.

Psychologists Johnson and Morton have conducted a visual research on 24 newborn. The researchers showed the babies with a few face -sized paper samples, one with a normal face with a normal face, one disrupting the facial features, and one was completely blank.

The results found that newborns are most interested in facial features.

Of course this is not the end. Not everyone's face can gain the baby's love, their favorite is the mother's face.

The University of Miami conducted a face -to -face experiment on 24 three -month -old babies. The experiments showed two photos to the baby, one was a mother smiling, and the other was a stranger. The results showed that the baby preferred mother, and they spent longer staring at the mother's photos.

Usually holding the baby, the eyes of the adult baby are parallel, the baby sees: hey! Isn't this my old mother! I want to touch her!

Isn't the baby stroking, isn't it just a slap!

Face by the baby

Do you want to stop quickly?

This is not possible to be beaten in this way. Everyone must ask how to stop it. Actually, the methods may be ... useless ...

Maybe you just stopped, and the baby slapped again in the next second.

why is that?

Everyone thinks about it first, every time we are beaten by the baby, what do we react? Haha laughing at kiss? Still say a smile and say something next time?

For the baby, although you don't understand what you are talking about, you can perceive the voice and expression of adults.

Every time I touch my parents' face, they can get laughing and laughing, which is amazing for the baby!

This means that your behavior can affect and get a response. Naturally, the behavior of slapping the face naturally can't stop!

Therefore, if you are beaten by your baby, it is recommended that you calm down first. The best way is to change everything. Do not make too exaggerated expressions. You can get a toy to transfer the baby's attention.

In addition, share a small trick, everyone can try to hold the baby's little hand and slowly guide the face into a thug, that is, the hand -in -law!

Every time the palm, parents can give extra exaggerated expressions and sounds. They may be more addicted to the baby's palm after a few times without responding to the face!

Bao Bao Bao's mother can also rest assured that as the baby grows up slowly, he will gradually express his emotions in words. When the development of the big movement also improves, his face will slowly disappear. Image source: Tuwa Creative
