What to do if a child recognizes someone

(1) It is very normal for newborns to recognize people when they reach four or five months, which marks the improvement of his cognitive level, the emergence of recognition consciousness, and it is also the embodiment of his development from non-selective cognitive level to selective cognitive level, and it is also a major manifestation of the baby's beginning to recognize human memory. Studies have shown that infants aged 0-2 months have not yet formed image perception, so babies in the first one or two months often cannot distinguish between their own family and strangers. After 3 months, the baby has the experience of contact with human faces, and the faces of mothers and caregivers gradually become clear from blurred, and this visual development of graphic patterns of relatives not only plays a very important role in the growth of infants and young children, but also promotes the improvement of the baby's social cognition and emotional level. After 3 months, after the baby has a clearer impression of people's faces, he will show recognition, affirmation, acceptance and liking to familiar relatives, which provides a cognitive basis for the baby to have a strong sense of dependence, intimacy, belonging and security for his relatives, for which young parents should be happy.

(2) To have a correct understanding of the baby's strangeness, some pediatricians have made observation records on the baby's strangeness, they found: at 2 months, the baby is not very strange, they see that the doctor and nurse are not afraid of the performance, some children lie on the physical examination table to look at the doctor, and then look at the mother, behave as if nothing; Some children are curious and happy, and they can dance. By the time of five or six months, the baby's attitude towards doctors and nurses begins to change, and they will gradually recognize that doctors and acquaintances are strangers, will feel afraid, and try to avoid them, which indicates that the baby at this stage has entered a special period of recognition of people. Babies gain certain recognition memories from five or six months of observation, begin to recognize their parents, and enjoy being with them, because they feel safe, happy and warm with their parents, and begin to form a sense of family and affection. When an unfamiliar person appears, no trace of the person's image can be found in the infant and retrieval, and the baby becomes alert and feels uneasy, anxious and afraid, which is a formal manifestation of his ability to protect himself, and young parents should show understanding and respect for this. Therefore, parents should not see the baby crying, avoiding, afraid or even noisy, mistakenly think that it is vexatious and not polite, and blame or scold the child, which not only does not help, but will strengthen the continuation of the baby's fear of life, to go with the flow, otherwise the baby will cry more intensely, so as to cause unnecessary fear of birth and hidden anxiety. The dissolution of fear of life must have a process, to follow the principle of increasing communication and gradual closeness from estrangement to relatives, from far and near, and gradually getting closer, the key is to improve its intimacy in communication with the baby, who plays with him for a long time, he will know who first; Whoever cares more about him, he is closer to whom, mother and father live in the same room with him, get along day and night, so the baby will form a special sense of attachment earlier. In this regard, parents should cherish it doubly, as for his strangeness to other people, not only to understand, but also to be tolerant and wait when dealing with it, some parents when asking a nanny to take care of it, first take the child to the nanny's house (or let the nanny come to the child's house) to play with him for a period of time, so that he has an adaptation process.

(3) Gradually expand the scope of communication, some young parents in order to let their children learn the ability to communicate with others from a young age, often like to take them to colleagues' homes or public places to contact more strangers, its starting point and intentions are good, but should not be rushed. Babies under the age of 1 should be mainly cultivated to interact with their parents, and then extended to grandfathers, grandmothers, grandfathers, grandmothers and relatives, neighbors and companions. Studies have shown that infants' vigilance and fear of strangers and unfamiliar environments still exist before the age of 2. Therefore, at this stage, to cultivate the baby's communication ability, it is necessary to gradually expand the communication surface, so that he can have more contact with society and familiar with others in natural social interactions, especially with children, so that infants and young children can increase their social skills in the game with their peers.
