Toddlers cry for many different reasons, apart from the obvious, hunger, tiredness, in pain the same as a baby. As a toddler
becomes more self aware they begin to cry for other reasons they include:
- Fear
of strange places or people, load noises etc
- Anger and frustration,
if they cannot do what they want to do or tell you what they want to say
- Attention,
if a toddler feels they are being ignored they will cry to get you to pay attention.
- Anxiety,
especially about separation from you or your partner or being left with a new person.
- Rebellion
, your child may just wish to exert their independence
Toddlers have no concept of embarrassment and will cry no matter where you are they don't care if you are at a wedding
or in a supermarket, it is all the same to them. Most mums suggest a quick cuddle and then distracting them with something is
the best solution. Remember its a hard time for them they have few ways of expressing their feelings if they won't calm down
it is sometimes best to take them out of the environment but this is not always practical, they will calm eventually so try
to stay patient. Often crying may develop into a tantrum see Temper Tantrums
