Patience is key during challenging periods from "summary" of The Wonder Weeks by Frans X. Plooij,Hetty van de Rijt,Xaviera Plas
During the challenging periods of a leap, your baby may exhibit behaviors that are out of the norm. They may be more fussy, clingy, or have trouble sleeping. It can be a trying time for both you and your little one, but remember that it is all a part of their developmental growth. By understanding that these behaviors are temporary and a result of their brain development, you can approach the situation with more patience and empathy. It is important to remember that your baby is not intentionally trying to make things difficult for you. They are simply going through a period of rapid cognitive growth, which can be overwhelming for them. By being patient and understanding, you are providing them with the support and reassurance they need during this challenging time. During these periods, it is crucial to maintain a sense of calm and consistency in your interactions with your baby. By remaining patient and showing them love and understanding, you are helping to create a sense of security and trust for them. This will ultimately help them navigate through this developmental leap with more ease and confidence. It can be tempting to become frustrated or overwhelmed when your baby is going through a challenging period, but it is important to remember that this is all a normal part of their development. By practicing patience and providing them with the support they need, you are setting them up for success in the long run. Remember that this too shall pass, and that by being patient and understanding, you are helping your baby grow and thrive.
