Children should always be properly interacting with their parents. It’s basic, primal even for a child to go to their parents whenever there’s something he needs or wants. However, parents don’t always understand what it is that their kids are trying to say, especially the younger ones. We have come up with a list of things kids say to their parents daily that you as a parent might not notice.
Recognizing your child’s expressions is the start to really understanding him. It’ll allow you to reinforce that trait (expressiveness) in them and even improve the way they do it. This is very important especially if your child is still very young and might not be able to verbalize all of his emotions as clearly as someone older would be.
Take note that really listening to your kids isn’t just about choosing up funny things youngsters tell their parents, although it’s always a joy when that happens. The goal is to become closer to your kids through understanding them in their own terms, and properly reacting to whatever it is they’re trying to tell you. Let’s start with an emotion that’s difficult to understand, but still one of the important things parents should know about their child.“Mommy I’m Frustrated”

When adults feel frustrated, we’re able to recognize it and do something about it. usually we’ll just take a break and then come back to the problem to deal with it again with renewed fervor.
When adults feel frustrated, we’re able to recognize it and do something about it. usually we’ll just take a break and then come back to the problem to deal with it again with renewed fervor.
Kids, however, don’t always recognize frustration. They don’t know what it is and why they feel that way. You could have a very social and happy child, but there might be something that he completely prevents like art or math.
Unlike grown ups, they have no idea what it is they’re feeling. Avoidance to something we dislike is a primal reaction, so that’s what they do. but a much more dangerous reaction can happen as well. instead of just avoiding something, a child may decide to dislike art or math because he can’t do it. He might also start hating himself for not having the ability to do something that everyone else in his age group can do.
This is when mom and dad can and should step in to help. The way kids should deal with disappointment isn’t much different to how we do it. but what’s important is that you as the parent is there to help him figure out how.
First thing you need to do is identify the type of reaction that your child has to frustration. The two discussed here aren’t exclusive, they’re just among the most common. once you’re able to do that, encourage your child to find a different way of expressing frustration. maybe he can take a walk or go play whenever he feels frustrated and deal with the problem again later. You could also encourage your child to find to you and tell you verbally that he’s frustrated whenever it occurs so you can help him out.

Explain to your child that disappointment is a normal feeling and that even adults like you feel it as well. tell him that things can become difficult but with constant practice, he will get better and it’ll become easier.
The many important thing to remember while you’re assisting your child deal with disappointment is encouragement. recognize every milestone and achievement no matter how small it is. This will keep your child thinking about his task and inspired in overcoming it.
“Daddy I want To Play”

This one is simpler to identify because they’ll typically say it outright, and even if a child is too young to verbally express his desire to play, it can be inferred from his actions. The problem usually is with the parents.
You have work, chores, and adult responsibilities, not to mention you have to take care of all the other needs of your children. So when your child comes as much as you and lets you know he wishes to play, you’re not always enthusiastic, regardless of how irresistibly adorable he might be.
You might want to play with your child but sometimes, it’s just too exhausting or too much of a hassle when you could use the time to rest. This is ending upbeing so common that some parents are even forgetting how to play with their children.
The advantagesof playground interaction for parents and youngsters should never be set aside just because you “couldn’t be bothered.” It’s through playground interaction that you encourage early development of your child’s skills. His motor skills, competence, peer group interaction, and cognitive development are all things that can be improved through parent-child play.
So in your schedule, always include a playground project for both parents and kids. If there’s no playground close to your home, do it in the backyard or you can even set up a play space inside your house. It doesn’t have to be a perfect environment, what’s important is that you’re playing with your kids.
If you’re having a hard time figuring out what to play, think back to when you were children, what games did you play with your parents? give it enough thought and you’ll find something to do that can be fun for the whole family.
“Mommy I’m Angry”

Anger in kids is easy to spot and is something that should never be ignored by parents. It can get aggravating to deal with a child’s tantrums but there’s usually a root cause to it. finding that cause is the start to dispelling the emotion and will give you a chance to teach your child how to properly be angry.

Yes, there’s a proper way to get angry or at least a proper way to express it. anger is another primal emotion and it’s perfectly normal for your child to feel it. You feel it too, right? You’re just able to manage and express it better. That’s exactly the skill that you need to teach your child as he grows up.
When you’re handling very young children, you need to be firm and draw the line with them. They have almost no inhibitions and when they want something, they want it immediately. At this stage you should let your child know that there are some things that are just not acceptable. It’s good for them to know early that you understand that they can be very volatile, especially if that’s their temperament, but you’re not going to accept certain behaviors.
It’s also important at this stage to tell your child exactly why he’s angry. Let’s say he starts crying because you put him down and are too tired to carry him anymore. Ask him, “You’re angry because I can’t carry you anymore, aren’t you?” It’s a bit redundant to us because we immediately understand as adults why the child is crying. but to the child, words will allow him to make sense of his feelings. then continue to explain to him why you can’t carry him.
At over 2 years old, kids are already at that stage in their life where they understand words but they may not always understand what they’re feeling. So as a parent, you should be assisting them make sense of not only the things around them, but also the things they feel inside of them.
As early as possible you should teach your kids to use words to express anger. They don’t really understand their emotions and they don’t know any other way to express them so they cry or become physical (jump around, bang on something, throw stuff, etc.). They may even hit you sometimes. but as they grow older, they become more capable of understanding and utilizing words. So as soon as you can, you’ll want to transition them to words.
We all have different temperaments; kids do as well. assisting kids recognize and manage theirs is the job of the parents and is finest done while they’re young. The better the kids become at this, the simpler it’ll be for them to integrate into society.
“Daddy I’m very Sad”

Sadness is something that all humans feel regardless of how old they are. It can be triggered by many things but the most common one is sorrow for a loss. It can be the loss of a liked one, an object, an environment, a relationship, or even the loss of a pet.
As a parent, it’s important for you to know that your child experiences sorrow and unhappiness just like you do, but they may express it in a different way. What’s troublesome is that not all kids express unhappiness the same way.

Children can become aloof, dissociable, angry, clingy, they may not want to go to school anymore, or they may lose their appetite. It can even be a mix of these in addition to other things like not being able to concentrate or ending up being upset for no reason.
As already discussed earlier, kids don’t always understand their feelings. So they don’t react to unhappiness the same way we do. but just like adults, they need support and they need it even more than grown ups do sometimes.
Using the example of loss, the loss of a pet can be an extremely sad experience to a child. very young kids don’t completely understand the concept of loss and how permanent it is. As they grow older they start to recognize its permanence but still won’nem tudjuk teljesen megérteni.
Szülőként ezekben a körülmények között sok fontos olyan környezetet teremt, amelyben gyermeke képes szabadon kifejezni érzelmeit. Talán meg tudja csinálni játékon vagy műalkotáson keresztül. Meg kell mutatnia és el kell mondania a gyermekének, hogy ott vagy nekik, és készen áll a hallgatásra, ha van valami, amire szüksége van a mellkasáról.
Ha úgy gondolja, hogy gyermeke viselkedésének hirtelen változása veszteség vagy más esemény miatt következik be, amely esetleg szomorúvá teszi, akkor beszélned kell vele. A gyerekek nem mindig tudják, hogyan kell veled beszélni az érzelmeikről, így a vezetési aggodalmak és beszélgetések segíthetnek számukra.
Ha sok aggodalomra ad okot egy olyan veszteség vagy esemény miatt, amely szomorúvá teszi őket, akkor szánjon időt mindegyikre. Ez az módja annak, hogy megpróbálják megérteni érzéseiket és azt, hogy mi történik körülöttük.
Egy másik fontos dolog, amelyet meg kell jegyezni, hogy őszinte legyél a gyermekével, amikor a veszteséggel kapcsolatos nehéz aggodalmakat kérik Önnek. Ne hazudj nekik csak azért, mert tudod, hogy hinni fognak neked. Az életük olyan szakaszában vannak, ahol meg kell érteniük a dolgokat, még a nehéz valóságot is. Tehát mondd el nekik az igazat.
A gyermek nevelése nehéz, de fantasztikus élmény. Ez is súlyos felelősség. A gondozásában életed vagy több életed van. Amit csinálsz, hogyan bánsz velük, mit mutatnak nekik, és amit mondasz nekik, jelentős hatással lesz arra, hogy ki lesz a jövőben.
Tehát jól emelje fel a gyerekeidet. Mindig beszéljen velük, ösztönözze őket, mutassa meg nekik, hogy tetszik nekik, és tanítsa meg őket. Soha ne felejtsd el hallgatni rájuk. Mert még ha csak gyermekek is, akkor is sok mondanivalójuk van.
