What a pleasure it is to be able to greet you again and take the time to write an article with the quality of always hoping that it will be enjoyed by all of you! In this opportunity I want to write based on a personal experience that I have had with my child and that has made me reflect on the crying of babies, what is the reason and if it is really cry what we always hear or if there can be an interpretation in each scene that helps us better understand their needs, the technique is to be able to understand their cry to meet their needs correctly!

The language of babies
Every living being must have a method of communication with their peers because their survival depends largely on it, babies are not the exception. When a child is born does not dominate any language, languages are just ways of communicating that learn over time but at birth we already have the ability to communicate, can be with sounds or gestures and even both at once.

Then we defined the sound of babies as crying, I was thinking about that until recently when my daughter cried unusually. It was a terrible night, among all the accumulated sleep losses last night it was added that the baby was hungry but did not eat, the attempts lasted almost all night until at some point I scolded her, I do not even know if she understood what I was saying but I asked her to do her part to help us in a tone a little strong. The surprising result was that she obeyed, fed, and then I laid her on my chest. I noticed that she had a lot of colic and that was the reason for her restlessness, she was already asleep and resting and I began to sing to her. When she heard me sing she broke into tears, it wasn't a baby cry, she was moaning and sobbing like an adult, as if it had hurt her that I was talking to her loudly about something that wasn't her fault, then she understood that my baby was really crying at that moment and this was what made me reflect on the language of babies, that what we commonly call crying in them is nothing but a form of communication.
Modes of communication
Without a doubt the moment when we have the most grace for others is when we are babies, in that instant all those who love us are willing to do everything to avoid suffering. The sound of children makes us understand that they are suffering and that is why we say they are crying because it is the reason why most people cry (presence of suffering). If you are unfaithful to your partner at least once and then move away from this practice and ask your partner for forgiveness, I assure you that your suffering will not disappear like the crying of a hungry child after eating. In this sense you might think that when a child "cries" because of a need he is not suffering, if time passes and the need is not satisfied then he will notice that the intensity of the crying will be greater and then there may be a suffering that can be noticed in soyozos even while the baby is feeding. There are reasons why children cry that have nothing to do with their survival needs but with whims, in these cases they have mastered the art of manipulation and take advantage of the fact that by making that noise we please them in everything. We should never please our children just because we don't see them cry, but first we should reflect on what is good for them and base our decisions on that.

Children should not cry

Our task as parents and representatives of our children is to spare them suffering, I think that is the reason why many create a fantasy world around them. In terms of crying for suffering I can say that we must take care of our words and attitudes in the presence of our children, even if it seems to us that they don't understand what we say to them I have discovered in a very short time and in a very certain way that they do understand. I don't know how this is possible when they don't know any language yet, maybe it's because of the gestures but they understand what we're saying so we have to treat them gently. When it comes to crying as a need for communication I think that if we attend to their needs before they ask for it we will avoid this type of crying, the advantage of this is that they don't discover that it is a tool that they can use to manipulate you. It is our duty to make our children happy!
