Why do children like to suck their fingers?
In NLP (Neurolinguistic Programming), human beings can communicate with the outside world in three ways: vision, hearing and touch. China NLP College believes that many people will notice that some children have some hobbies before going to bed, in various forms: sucking fingers, biting quilts or clothes handkerchiefs, etc. Some people need other people's help, such as pinching people's earlobes and touching people's hair or arms. Although these hobbies can accompany children to sleep peacefully, they also add a lot of trouble to adults. Mom says she has many hobbies before going to bed. Mom has a headache. Beibei's 4-year-old habit may have originated from her grandmother. /kloc-he liked to suck his thumb until he was 0. At the age of one, his grandmother said to Beibei: Now you are 1 years old, and you can't eat your thumb any more. So grandma found a lot of cloth to wrap Beibei's thumb. From then on, Beibei began to settle for the second best, eating quilt corners or collars instead. There's not a quilt he covers at home that hasn't been bitten out of the hole, and he can't change it today. 1 year-old mother: My baby is 19 months old, but I always smell the back of my mother's hand before going to bed. This habit may have started when Jia Jia was more than seven months old. At first, she smelled the smell in her arms, because it happened to be summer, and then it gradually became cold. I slept in long-sleeved clothes and she began to smell the back of my hand. If I can't find my hand in the middle of the night, Jiajia will wake up immediately and cry all the time. I tried many ways to help her get rid of this habit, but no matter what I did, it didn't work. The baby only knows my hand, and she can smell it when others put it under her nose. Niu Niu, a 3-year-old girl, mother: My girl used to like to touch my navel to sleep, and sometimes she used to dig with her little nails. She often scratches my stomach. I told her several times that your mother's stomach was scratched by you, and after leaving a scar, her mother was not beautiful. After several times, Niu Niu stopped touching my navel to sleep, and now she touches her navel to sleep. When she gets up in the morning, she will find her navel red, which is really sad. Frost is two years old. Mother Frost: My baby always touches my eyebrows before going to bed. He woke up in the middle of the night and touched my eyebrows, only mine, not his father's. She often wakes me up at night. In order to get rid of the baby's bad habits, one day I tried to sleep in separate beds with her. I didn't expect to be woken up by the baby crying in the next room in the middle of the night. When I went to the next room, first frost looked for me pitifully, but her husband with her was unmoved and still slept in the bed. Guoguo is five and a half years old. Mom: Guoguo likes to pinch the small meat pad behind the elbow before going to bed. At first, we just thought it was fun and that it was the uniqueness of the child, but slowly, we found that Guoguo's elbow was pinched out by her hard cocoon. I told Guoguo that if she continued to pinch like this, the little bump on her elbow would get bigger and bigger, so that the girl would not look good when she grew up. But I don't care that much. I just want to pinch my elbow, and I can't change it. Really helpless. Jin Zhifang, a psychological counselor, explained that people instinctively do things that make them feel safe. In the child's subconscious, the mother's arms are the safest, so it is often seen that the baby falls asleep while nursing in the mother's arms. When a baby falls asleep outside his mother's arms, he will instinctively look for a sense of security, such as sucking his fingers and biting the quilt.
