RE: Nonviolent Parenting Tips for Dealing With a Difficult Infant
well, i guess sometimes you can try your best to soothe your 5 months old but you are totally clueless as to why he's crying like crazy. I totally advocate a non-violent approach unless the child is intentionally trying to be mischevious.
no child of 5 month is intentionally mischievous. What has helped me at that age was accepting that I cannot always find the problem when he is crying and that that is okay. If you are in the mindset that it is your absolute duty to stop your child from crying, that only builds stress in the parents. And from there it only gets worse.
Good advice ;)
