Holding your toddler

Babies are going to be always babies at least for the time they are big enough to start walking and understanding things. After a while of pampering your baby some parents feel that they should not have been holding their babies now as much as they did early. But, I am sorry to break your thinking here. It is largely a misconception. Your baby needs you to hold them as much as you used to do it earlier. As your baby grows, they start understanding new things, explore more things on their own, try to speak with them, the language you speak. For some time, your baby needs some type of assurance that whatever they are doing, who ever they are going, they are going to be safe. When you hold them, they are confident enough that nothing ever can happen to them. When they start growing and understanding things, they might require a proper explanation or understanding of things before they get in to. Nurturing them properly will ensure a quick understanding and they will corporate.

Some parent always keep wondering in amazement that how their kids still want them to pamper and hold them even after growing enough to understand and can reach wherever they want to. Here are some reasons that will, well satisfy you that why your babies needs your arm time always:

• Some babies are very picky about what they do, to whom they go to and such things but in general finally what they want is the assurance that they are going to the safer hands.
• Babies even if they are quite young, they need explanations for everything we do to them or where we are taking them. Even if means they do not understand you much, this especially happens when they do not understand new things.
• Babies are often said to have need pampering, after all that is what they like. Your baby needs nurturing as well care by holding them.
• Infants even when they learn to walk, still want the feeling of closeness and understanding especially from their parents.
• Babies are not as independent as their parents might think them to be.
• Remember, that your toddlers are still young and growing, so its important to nurture them by holding them and showing them that they are important.
• By holding your baby, you are indirectly boosting their self-confidence, self-esteem and building a trust.
• Generally, a baby wants you to hold them because they want to have the feeling to closeness, security and human connections.
• Except for their mommy and daddy, the world is still a stranger place to them. They need more cuddling and feeling of closeness by holding them.
• Your child knows you even more than you know them, if you hold them with any type of resistance of mixed feelings. There is every chance that they will realize your unwillingness in holding them and that may signal them towards feeling unsecured about themselves and may have lower self-esteem. So it is best advised to pick them up willingly, lovingly and desire to hold them.

Your child is world to you even if you are sociable but for your child you are the only world. Make time to hold them, love them and cuddle them. Talk lovingly to your child even when you are tired and remember to cuddle them on timely basis. When your baby is just one year old, you might feel it’s the slow process growing up but in no time you will realize they have grown really faster and you might want to hold them and cuddle them always when they start going to school so the best advised is to cuddle them now when they are with you.
