I don't know whether we need to pay attention to such a situation: when a child is crying, as long as you give him a warm embrace and gentle pay, you can immediately calm the baby down. This is just one of the functions of touch.
What are the benefits of touching?
1. Enhance parent-child relationship
More physical contact between parents and children can reduce mutual estrangement and deepen feelings. You may as well give your baby a kiss before going out and going to bed, and then give your baby a big hug at any time.
2. Promote baby's character development
Touch is a very intimate action, which can give your baby a full sense of security. This will make it easier for children to build a sense of trust in others. This sense of trust is the basis for children to form a sound personality. So touching is good for children to develop good character. Such children tend to be cheerful, confident, caring and have strong social adaptability.
3. Good for baby's growth and development
In fact, the need for touching is innate. If such needs of the baby are not met, their growth and development may be affected, and growth retardation, stunting and other conditions may occur. If parents can often get in close contact with the baby, it can promote the development of the baby's nerve cells, which is conducive to brain development.
The sooner you touch your baby, the better. Everyone should take active action. For newborn babies, it can be carried out three times a day, about 15 minutes each time, depending on the baby's needs. In addition, there is no fixed touch mode, and the baby's face, chest, hands, legs, back and other places can be carried out. Remember, the force must be gentle.
