What medicine is good for children who are frightened?

When a child is frightened, pay attention to comforting him/her more. If there is no special situation, there is no need for medication, unless the child is very frightened, you can use some sedatives under the guidance of a doctor. Of course, you cannot take medicine on your own in this regard. When a child is frightened, parents should talk to their children more to relieve their psychological pressure. The main thing is to communicate more in the psychological aspect, which will gradually relieve the child's tension.

What to do if you get scared

1. When the baby is frightened, the mother should pat and touch him more. Children need affection from time to time. Mother should communicate with him more through body language, let him know that you are protecting him, pat him gently, and shake him left and right with your body as the axis.

2. When the baby is frightened, the mother should communicate with him in his language, even though he cannot understand it yet. Mom can talk to the baby, for example, baby, don’t be afraid, mom is here, etc.

3. Newborn babies have skin care and like to be touched. Adults can do baby massage exercises through the baby's clothes to enhance the baby's sense of security. As soon as the baby is frightened, the mother should immediately comfort the baby with a gentle voice and touch the baby's skin, such as stroking the baby's hair or patting the back. The voices and physical contact of loved ones can quickly make the baby feel safe and have the greatest soothing effect.

4. Hold your baby in a strange position. For example, let the baby lie face down on your arms and support his face with your palms. You can also gently rock the baby with your left hand and gently stroke the baby's back with your right hand. The baby will feel strange if the field of vision is reversed.

5. If the baby is calcium deficient, it may also cause fright. In this case, calcium must be supplemented scientifically and rationally based on trace element tests.

6. If your baby is easily startled when sleeping, you can play some soothing music before the baby falls asleep. After the baby falls asleep, be careful not to let his little hands press on the chest. When the baby wakes up, gently hold his little hands, or pat his back to comfort him, and he will fall asleep quickly.

Causes of child fright

Reason 1: Few opportunities to go out

Some parents always like to let their babies stay at home to play, which reduces the babies' opportunities to contact the outside world. When they see strangers visiting their home, the babies will feel scared.

Solution: Create a harmonious and relaxing environment for your baby. You should take your baby out to play more often and let him interact with others. The best way is to find some children of the same age to interact with him, so that your baby can become braver.

Reason 2: Improper family education methods

When babies cry or are disobedient, many parents like to scare them to make them obey, which can easily make babies become timid.

Solution: It is obviously incorrect to use scare to make your baby obey you. When dealing with a baby who is disobedient, you should not use harsh or intimidating educational methods. Instead, you should use positive guidance and communicate with the baby in a gentle tone to help him realize his mistakes on his own initiative.

Reason 3: Too many restrictions on the baby

Not letting the baby crawl because the ground is dirty, not letting the baby run because you are afraid the baby will fall... Too many restrictions on the baby will hinder his chance to explore the world, causing him to be afraid to try and practice, and easily making the baby timid and introverted. You can think back to what other behaviors you have restricted your baby from.
