“You are going to spoil that baby!” “That baby needs to leaern to self soothe.” Both of these are common sayings that new mothers often hear. They are both major reasons why some caregivers are choosing to instill and use the “cry it out” method. Letting a baby cry it out means letting a baby calm themselves and learn to make themselves stop crying. This method or parenting choice can cause long term and short term harm to a growing baby. The method goes against basic parentig instincts. A parent has to fight the urge to go get their child when they hear them cry. There is absolutely no way a person can spoil a baby.
Almost all caregivers care and love their child more than life itself. A caregiver wants to do everything to help their child succeed and flourish. Sometimes though, a caregiver questions themselves. This happens especially when a family member or friend tries to give advice. Someone tells the parent that they are going to spoil their child if they answer every cry quickly. As a mom myself I know no one wants that stereotypical, fit throwing, demon like chcild. So the parents listen and

Letting a baby cry for extended periods of time can cause increased heart rate, high blood pressure, over heating, vomiting, and even SIDS. Imagine putting the baby down and listening to screaming. The baby’s face is all flushed, tears rolling down their face, body shaking unctontrollably. The baby gets so worked up that they begin to vomit. The parents aren’t in the room, so the baby remains covered until they fall asleep or until an adult decides to check on them. That’s the nicer outcome, the sadder outcome could be SIDS. Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Maybe that baby just needed to feel secure, or maybe they have a headache, or their teeth or tummy aches. Something so minisicual turns into death just because someone wanted to teach a baby to self soothe. It is not worth the
Babies may stop crying after they are picked up or by hearing a familiar voice. By 3 months they get excited when its time to feed
responds to the baby’s cries, the baby learns how to control his or her emotions and to calm him/herself down
Before my first child was born, I studied child development. I learned the importance of responsive caregiving. I learned that I would soon be able to read my baby’s cries. I would know what was wrong and what I could do by the sound of the cry. After my baby was born, I responded quickly when he cried. To my surprise, I had difficulty calming him. I realized I did not always know what was wrong by the sound of his cry. I became very frustrated and decided that if my baby was dry, fed, and not tired. I would just let him cry it out. I didn’t know what else to do.
To be a parent is a passionate business and it consists of anger as well as love. Parenting is a long-term affair. It is much longer than the majority of relationships in child care settings. Parents provide the continuity through the child’s life. Child care providers and teachers come and go in a child’s life, but parents provide the continuity that is needed.
Language Development: Baby will make a lot of noises, often happy sounds and when they are distressed and upset they need to hear a familiar sound such as a mums voice.
The Strange Situation is meant to be a snapshot of the relationship between infant and caregiver, and provide insight into the dyadic patterns that define this bond. Securely attached children are thought to have a primary caregiver who is sensitive, available and receptive to their infants needs. Insecure-avoidant children have primary caregivers who are intrusive, controlling and hurtful. These caregivers may be present in the infant’s life but unable to understand their infants needs, and provide the correct response. Caregivers of insecure-ambivalent infants have been found to be unresponsive to the needs of the infant, and very often unavailable. The effect of this treatment is that the infant is starved for affection and attention. The infant also feels the need to amplify their needs in an effort to reach their caregiver (Barnett & Vondra, 1999).
New born babies often cry when they are hungry, tired, hurt, in need of nappy changing or just for some attention. This is because new born babies have no way of communicating as they do not know how to speak, see properly and
Those caregivers tend to have negative interactions with their child, which may have bad influence on their children. For example, a two years old boy who like to use crayons to draw on the wall .His parents would yell at him and punish him every time he did that, but it doesn't change any thing. Every time after his parents punished him, the boy begin to draw more stuff on the wall.That happened because if you punished a difficult chlid immediately, the difficult child is more likely to exhibit loud refusal and sometime aggressive
When babies cry, they cry for various reasons, when they are hungry or tired or need their diaper to be changed, but there is another reason on top of all this too. Babies can “fake cry” to gain the attention of their parents. It does not matter if that same parent is exhausted or busy; that baby will wail in order to be noticed. Even when we do not know the meaning of the word selfish, we exhibit signs of it so early into life. Our being selfish is innate, apart of our nature , just like every other animal that fights and hunts to sustain itself.
Why after 50 years since the segregation of Central High School, do people of color still face challenges of racism? Long before the segregation of schools, people have faced many instances of discrimination because of the color of their skin. These same prejudice acts still continue today. This nation has yet created a workable plan for solving the gruesome acts of racism because of ineffective protesting, the influence societies have on individuals, and social media.
I have seen and known so many racists in my life. I am not friends with these people because being racist is horrible just like being sexist and homophobic. One of the biggest examples of racism is Nikky. Nikky used to ride though the bad side of town and see how many blacks and Mexicans she could make angry. I tried my best to distance myself from that type of person. I have also been in fights with racist black kids. I was called dirt by some black girl. She also hit me so I being in 3rd grade got very mad. I backed up really far .She smirked and must of thought “Haha I won”. Then I put my arms out and ran full speed and pushed into a wall.It turns out a broke her arm and thats why she never came around my house.While I geuss I over reacted to what happened.Keep in mind I was like 8 and didn’t know I could hurt her that bad.
Caregiving is a responsibility best managed with plenty of help. Being a caregiver is very hard and tough work. It is very important that caregivers are taking care of just like their patients. Many caregivers give everything they have and do not rest when they really should take time to breathe and have time for themselves. That is why there are many organizations for caregivers and their patients. These organizations are made for the caregivers to teach them to be the best that they can be at their job and also making sure that their mental state is doing well.

This behavior can be explained by the caregiver’s unpredictable and unstable behavior. Because of the distress of the caregiver’s possible abandonment, the infant will go to extreme measures to preserve that attachment and will be more alert to signs of abandonment or dismissal.
