Baby psychology, how does it work?

How to make sure your baby feels good in their head? Here are some psychology notions to understand how things work.

  • The right hemisphere of a baby's brain develops at a rapid pace during the first three years.
  • Eye contact and affection are as important as food and daily care.
  • During the first few months of life, a baby will seek to be “held” and skin-to-skin contact has a calming influence.
  • Your child also has an imperative need to move and play!

You CANNOT I repeat You CANNOT SPOIL A NEWBORN! Your baby is SUPPOSED to cry! How else are they going to relay what they need? Your supposed to hold your baby and let them know that you’re there for them, that is an important part of life…it’s called EMPATHY. I swear people should have to take child psychology classes before giving birth because some of y’all sound ignorant as hell.

Extremely! And I’ve had some cry babies so I know how frustrating and annoying it can be, but letting your newborn cry is extremely cringey to me

Everything your toddler does is developmentally appropriate. Hitting Biting Spitting Not sharing Yelling Ignoring you Talking back Throwing food, etc. These things are SUPPOSED to happen in order for your child to GROW THEIR BRAIN. Your child’s normal behavior is not a reflection of your parenting. Your 3 year old is NOT “bad” nor are you a BAD parent because he’s on the floor of a restaurant kicking and screaming over a broken crayon. They are little people with big feelings figuring out how to appropriately navigate these feelings. They don’t have the psychological capability to be malicious without realizing the consequences. They need you more than ever during their meltdowns. Give yourself and those babies grace. You BOTH are doing the best you can with what you have. Signed, 4 years of adolescent psychology studies.

Yesss! Also your toddler most likely does not have ADHD! Most of these behaviors are normal, and they just need help learning how to channel all of their energy with mentally stimulating and challenging play. Now, I'm not a professional and by no means am I saying don't take your baby to a doctor if you are really concerned. It's just sad how many little ones are over diagnosed 😥

This Virgo mama has just stumbled upon a strategy that will not only ensure her son will pick up on some very important core life skills but also one that may improve her husband's quality of life as well. Once again my interest in psychology and child development is saving the day. Doing test runs with my theories now. We'll see how things go. According to my research (and if my hunches are indeed correct), this discovery could be a huge game changer for this household! More later.

Imagine if our babies personalities were based on what emotions they were exposed to in the womb 🤔 how many of us would make more of an effort to check ourselves and not sweat the small stuff 🤣 to respond rather than react, and most importantly to walk tf away from situations that make us unhappy
