Since we are born, our temperament is marked by genes. So children since they are babies can have a tendency to be nervous, restless, hypnotic, irritable, scary, quiet, etc.
These tendencies can be shaped thanks to the education given to the child and the environment that surrounds him. This is how the character of the child develops. Therefore, temperament and character are not the same, being the sum of both what will give rise to the personality of the child.
How a calm child behaves
Children who are characterized as calm do not often cry and are relaxed. In addition, they are not disturbed by the changes that occur around them, they are not bothered by noise or light. They are children who usually sleep a lot. They do not mind being doing the same activity for a long period of time.
Some parents are worried about the "passivity" they show when they move. When there is no movement (they do not crawl or walk a lot), motor development is usually later than usual in other children.
Is your child really calm?
Many times we identify the child as nervous or calm without qualifying. When we value the child's character, we must do it realistically and not be carried away by subjective evaluations, since there are signs that can make us see a child as relaxed when it really is not.
Confusing these signals depends on the character of the adult next to the child. That is, if the parent is quite calm or overprotective is more likely to define the behavior of the child as nervous or restless if it does not stop moving and explore, without thinking that the child may be going through a phase in which the movement be key to develop your motor and cognitive abilities. As for example, when the child is around 12 months.
On the other hand, that the child always obeys what his parents tell him without complaints or temper tantrums does not define him as calm. Many children obey for fear of being rejected by their parents. This apparent tranquility and maturity hides his insecurity.
What to do if your child is very calm
If you have a calm and relaxed child, we can follow some guidelines and advice: Ap - Learn to educate him
without falling into overprotection because he will need to learn skills to be able to defend himself in the future. Además - It is also important to understand that although the child seems docile and flexible, we should not overlook their limits because they ser need to be educated with both discipline and love. - It is important that you do not pay attention only when you cry. In doing so, he is unconsciously encouraged to complain.
- Even if the child does not ask for it it is key that the parents talk and play a lot with the child
. If it is not done, it will lack the necessary stimuli for its development.
- Parents should encourage their children to express their needs and opinions. They are taught that their opinion counts and to defend themselves.
- Adults should not press them with phrases such as "what good is always good". The child will feel obliged to always meet expectations.
