It is not easy to raise a baby. Being a qualified father is even more difficult.
Every parent deeply loves his children, but it is hard to stop their physical nature of seeking happiness. Of course, I am no exception.
How to balance being good to her and being good to yourself? So there is a routine. Of course, I also add some notes to the routine with dignity and give myself a reasonable reason.
People need exercise, so do children. Just like the ability to adapt to the cold, how can you always withstand the wind and rain of life in a greenhouse? Only by going out often, accepting the baptism of wind and rain, and welcoming the sunshine and rain, can we really adapt to the environment and society.
I remember a long time ago, the child was not born. Traveling with friends and his children, whose children can already walk. But most of the time, you have to hold it. On the one hand, children may become lazy when they leave. On the other hand, they are restricted by the terrain of scenic spots, for safety reasons. On arriving at the apartment, my friend put the child on the ground and let her go by herself. To put it mildly: children also need exercise, otherwise being too fat is bad for their health.
At that time, I felt that my friends were shirking their responsibilities. For their own comfort, perfunctory children. Give him a good lesson and criticize him. Laugh at his sports philosophy.
I didn't realize it until I became a father.
I remember that when the child first learned to walk, her grandmother was afraid that she would fall and kept hugging her hard. She is very good, and she will do whatever it takes. She never wants to find a balance and twist out all kinds of flowers. Because she has strong backing.
Every time I take her for a walk, I hold her hand in vain. She can walk by herself, and my hand is only an aid, so when she falls, she can react in time. Soon she learned to work hard and master the balance by herself. One year and three months, you can hold it with one hand and go down the stairs.
Walking is not a problem now. I went out to travel the other day and met the same problems as my friends. For a child weighing more than 20 kilograms, it is a great test to hold it all the time. Even if my mother and I take turns hugging each other, we are still very tired.
So there is the same scene as a friend: carrying her through some difficulties and obstacles, to the flat ground or when she needs to rest. Put her down and let her go for a while, or come down and play for a while, so that her sore arm can have a rest.
When I met the child's affectation, I just put it down and cried for a hug. The child raised his hands and stared at his parents. His gait was unstable, his face was flustered, his teeth were bared, and his mouth was not idle. He babbled in protest: I don't want to go by myself, I want my parents to hug me! I can't wait to plunge into my parents' arms and don't want to take another step.
How can we make her succeed easily? It's hard to relax and have a rest! I slowly stepped back and leaned forward to meet her, but I always controlled the distance.
And judge her mood. You can't make her angry, but also make her a little anxious. One to two, let her walk more than ten meters.
Finally, I grabbed the previous step, held her in my arms with open arms, and picked her up a few times. She was still very happy, giggling, and was held up as a reward for achieving her goal.
The most terrible thing is that I don't know when the child learned Oedipus. The child has gained weight, and the mother is really tired to hold it. Sometimes children come up for a while as long as their mother hugs them. I want to share a little for her mother, and take turns hugging for a while, in exchange for crying.
She can already understand the discussion, and the octopus usually hugs her mother for fear of being taken away by me.
Whenever this happens, I will suddenly find a time to catch her. Despite her moaning resistance, she ran 50 to 100 meters quickly. The child is like an elf struggling in his arms, tactically raising his arms without giving you a center of gravity, trying to break away from your arms and fly back to his mother.
Generally speaking, let her mother go forward first. After going out for a long time, put her down when she sees that the child is really fierce. The child began to cry again. Of course, it only thunders and it doesn't rain. He walked in the direction of his mother step by step, as if afraid that I would catch up with her again, and wanted to jump into her arms quickly. During the whole process, my mouth was always muttering protest-like sign language.
Her mother half retreated and half advanced, half welcomed and half refused, and she could walk out of a dozen or twenty meters backwards. Finally, she squatted down, smiled and held the child in her arms and kissed it. In this way, at least her mother can rest for a distance of one or two hundred meters. Give your arm a rest.
This is actually a complete routine.
Although it is a routine, there must be a scale. We can't let her feel abandoned, but let her go for a while and finally respond to her with full love. Make her realize that it's as happy as a game.
Create an emotional change, which can be angry, sad, anxious, or happy, to cover up the deep routine you buried in order to save effort.
In fact, the most important thing in raising a baby is to give her full love. Under this premise, proper work and rest is only a dose of seasoning. For children, this is an exercise and a way to play.
This walking routine is really necessary. Maybe with children, you can feel it.
Son, I hope you can grow up happily and healthily in dad's routine.
