My 3 year old little boy has been in a bit of a bad mood lately. His grandparents, who used to take care of him every day, have left for their sister-in-law's house abroad, and now his grandmother is taking care of him. The boy has been sulking all day long, and he is always in a tantrum, such as crying when he doesn't move, and he doesn't like to play with the children, and he is always asking me why his grandparents have gone to his aunt's house, and when they will be back.
I usually reassure him like this: Grandma and Grandpa will definitely come back, when you have your 4th birthday, they will come back to visit you, and they miss you very much too.
But I still have drums in my heart, fearing that this separation will leave a shadow on him, such as being afraid to get close to others in the future and always worrying about being left behind.
What can I do to help my child get through this phase smoothly?
I'd appreciate anyone with experience sharing advice.
Thanks in advance.
Hugs to you first and totally understand your anxiety.
For a little one, there are bound to be mood swings if the person taking care of him changes frequently.
Since Grandma and Grandpa have left the country and Grandma has come to help, let's
canHave your child video chat with grandparents more oftenLet him feel that his love is not broken even though he's not with them.The family connection is still there..
To Grandma.Also encourage her to fulfill the child's emotional needs, so that the child feels that grandma is here to love him more.I'm not sure how much I love you, but I'm sure you'll love me.Instead of losing the old love or having your routine disrupted just because grandma came.
additionallymom herself needs to spend more time with her kids.Because for a 3-year-old.Mom is the center of his world.She's the center of his world. In the face of family changes.Mom's probably got her share of ups and downs.The child is very sensitive and can feel your emotions.That's why it's important for mom to adjust herself first.
Everything's going to be fine, come on!
