What happens in our childiren's brain when they cries?
When our children feel an intense emotion or hurts, the amygdala, which has an important role in the formation of emotional reactions in the brain, sends a signal to the hypothalamus. The autonomic nervous system activates and sends a signal to the tear glands.
At this moment, our child begins to cry. What we need to do is not try to silence them immediately.
Crying releases endorphins. This hormone has two beneficial effects.
The first is the analgesic effect and it is said that this effect is even more than morphine. The other is the relaxation effect.Based on this information, it is not right to leave our children alone.
It is also not right to push him away by saying "Go,cry in your room".It also means "please don't cry anymore".It is also not right to open a cartoon so that they will stop crying.
So what shall we do?
If it is an emotional situation, emphasize that you understand their feelings and that crying is a natural process.Hug their children, make their feel loved and cared for.
Although we feel sorry for their crying, let's not forget that it is a natural process.
