27 Dec 2009 by

For children in this age, good care and treatment are crucial to the healthy development of social emotions, as well as good body resistance. Care and good treatment, became the foundation for a child to understand his world. Care and treatment in the form of love, protection and security and comfort and support. From that, children develop healthy relationships with others. Including the ability to play together, communicate, challenge and experience disappointment.

Express your love. The ability of a child to express his affection to others, such as father, mother, siblings and caregivers, is part of the social-emotional development. The ability of a child to express his affection to the people who knew well, not separated from the process of care he received since the baby.

Because the development of the ability to express love based on the child’s close emotional bonds with parents, parents should build an emotional bond with the child. So that the child will not only recognize anger and fear alone. But feel excited when I meet others and compassion for others even to survive. That way, children have the supplies necessary to start making friends and playing with her friends.

Bagi anak usia ini, pengasuhan dan perawatan yang baik merupakan hal penting bagi perkembangan social emosi yang sehat, juga ketahanan tubuh  yang baik. Pengasuhan dan perawatan yang baik, menjadi landasan bagi anak untuk memahami dunianya. Pengasuhan dan perawatan itu berupa cinta,  perlindungan dan rasa aman dan nyaman serta dukungan.
Dari itu semua, anak mengembangkan relasi yang sehat dengan orang lain. Termasuk kemampuan  bermain bersama, berkomunikasi, menghadapi tantangan dan mengalami
kekecewaan.
Ekspresikan cinta. Kemampuan seorang anak untuk mengekspresikan rasa sayangnya kepada orang lain, misalnya ayah, ibu, saudara kandung dan pengasuhnya, merupakan bagian dari perkembangan social-emosi. Kemampuan seorang anak  mengekspresikan rasa sayangnya kepada orang-orang yang dikenalnya dengan baik, tak lepas dari proses pengasuhan yang diterimanya semenjak bayi.
Merasakan, beraksi. Ketika anak dipeluk dan terdengar olehnya ibu berkata sambil tersenyum, “Sayangku,” saat itu anak belajar konsep ‘sayang’ dan kaitannya dengan gerakan memeluk. Berkembangnya aspek social  emosi ini menurut ahli perkembangan, berkaitan erat dengan perkembangan kognisi dan perkembangan fisik anak. Ketika anak memeluk kakaknya, proses yang terjadi sebelumnya adalah memunculkan ingatannya tentang konsep ‘sayang,’ dan dengan keterampilan motoriknya ia melakukan gerakan memeluk.
Mampu berekspresi. Anak usia satu tahun pada umumnya sudah memiliki kemampuan mengekspresikan kasih sayangnya pada orang yang sangat dekat dengannya. Memeluk, mencium ibu atau ayah, dapat dilakukan oleh anak usia ini tanpa diminta.
Kalau pun anak usia ini belum tampak tanda-tanda ingin mengekspresikan perasaan sayangnya, ia punya cukup waktu untuk mempelajarinya. Yang paling penting, berikan cinta yang tulus pada anak, karena cinta inilah yang akan membangun  rasa aman dan rasa percaya anak  saat berhadapan dengan orang lain.

Karena perkembangan kemampuan mengekspresikan cinta bersumber pada eratnya ikatan emosi anak dengan orang tua, orang tua sebaiknya membangun ikatan emosi dengan anak. Sehingga anak tak hanya mengenal rasa marah dan takut saja. Tetapi merasa gembira saat bertemu orang lain dan perasaan sayang pada orang lain pun berkembang. Dengan begitu, anak punya bekal penting untuk mulai berteman dan bermain bersama teman-temannya.

Fear of hair washing

07 Dec 2009 by

Quite often a year toddlers refused to shampoo . Maybe he was traumatized, but children this age are generally afraid to hear the flow of water.

Fear for bathing and shampooing normally arise between toddler-age children. Basically, the source of the fear of children 1-3 years old located on the sound of water gurgling stream or the roar of the faucet or shower.

Appreciate and give assistance. Before wash his hair, you need to understand fear the toddlers. The rush and roar of the water flow from the tap or shower is often scary toddler 1-3 years because it threatens the security of voice. In addition, the flow of water from the shower that can not be controlled, made to feel threatened his safety.

Because the toddler safety is threatened, you have to calm him and reassure him, “Brother, there’s Mother. Look up the lizard does not exist, huh?! “. Then gently rub the head with a washcloth. Make sure she feels safe in this way, and start washing her hair.

Try to make he liked his activity. Could we bring a child like activities that initially caused fear? The answer: YES! Provide a variety of movies from favorite characters like Barney, Elmo, Pocoyo and others, who have an episode themed shower, shampoo, or cleanliness. Encourage the child pay attention to how these characters cope with a fear of water or shower laziness.

If you are usual storytelling for children, make up this themed stories, then motivate toddler to wash her hair. Give also a variety of tools that make the activities of shampoo so exciting. Bathing caps, goggles baby swim, baby shampoo anti painful eye (tear free formula), cute and tiny toy bucket shower (squeaky toys) to be held when her hair washed and toddlers can help you through this period.

Needless to excess. Possibly, the previous experience of making child trauma. But the overprotective attitude will only make children become more afraid. Be proportionate! If there are other people who help you bathe the child, try to teach you how to make children comfortable shampoo wash, then “release” the child slowly. The more you are afraid to “remove” the boy got scared and anxious when you stay.

Many toddlers successfully through this period smoothly in a short time. But there is also not rare that need a long struggle. You should follow the trend of children a unique, if he likes the type of challenge, he could be going through this period easily. But if the toddler is still refusing to shampoo once in a while, do not be forced! This time with the patient encounter. Over time, in line with socio-emotional development of children, then washed as usual fear gradually subsided and disappeared.
