好眠寶寶，自信媽咪#34_ 0～18歲的孩子會恐懼什麼呢？（含應對方法）0-4個月順流好眠寶開課了，折扣碼 PODCAST 最高享五折優惠，六月的銷售部分會挪為公益捐助。課程試看＆介紹影片：https://mybabyzzz.teachable.com/p/0-4/ 4-12個月嬰幼兒課程看這裡：https://mybabyzzz.teachable.com/p/4-121/ ＝＝＝＝＝ 本集內容： 每次我建議把睡眠空間改成全黑時，有些家長會說他的寶寶怕黑，一關燈就哭。寶寶真的會怕黑嗎？答案是：「看年紀」 不同年紀的孩子會擔心不同事情，從想像的怪物到天然災害都有。這些擔心有可能是憑空想像，也有可能是被某種事件觸發。當他們對這個世界理解越多，就越有能力「預測」壞事的發生。另一個最常被提及的是「分離焦慮」，與父母分離的恐懼。的確會讓小孩害怕。但是隨著年紀增長，越來越獨立、越來越不依賴父母時，這種恐懼會轉化成不同的主題。 以下好眠師翻譯 Dr. Deborah MacNamara 的資料，列出小孩在不同年紀的擔憂和恐懼。 #0到6個月 嬰兒會被對突如其來的大聲響嚇到。由於還沒有「物體恆存」的概念，無法認知物體是永久存在的。當他們無法摸到、看到、聽到大人時，也會讓寶寶提高警覺，不確定大人是否會再回來。 #7到12個月 仍然會對巨大的聲響和突然出現在眼前的事物感到害怕。這個年紀的小孩開始發展「物體恆存」概念，他們發現大人在離開後會再次出現。而且自己可以影響別人的動作與行為，比如說，哭泣時就會有人來抱他。在這個階段，他們的大腦已經能鎖定他們的主要照顧者，因此常會有怕生的現象。 #１歲 最擔心與父母分離，也是所謂分離焦慮比較明顯的時候，會持續到６歲。小孩依然高度依賴照顧者，因此離照顧者較遠時都會提高警覺。他們也會因為受傷感到恐懼，或因為巨大聲響（如沖馬桶的聲音）被驚嚇。 #２歲 這個階段的小孩會開始怕黑，或對較大、不了解的東西產生害怕。喜歡規律的事物，所以當環境改變時，也會感到擔憂。 #３到４歲 大腦發展更成熟，開始會有「想像」或者「預期」壞事發生的能力。比方說清晰的夢境，夢裡會有怪物或其他可怕的東西。可能會害怕動物、面具、黑暗，在半夜害怕時尋求慰藉。 #５到６歲 這個年紀的小孩能清楚表達對於受傷或者壞人的恐懼。他們會開始想像「非基於現實」的壞事，比方說表達對於鬼魂、巫婆或其他超自然事物的擔憂。還是會怕閃電、打雷，自己睡覺或者獨自一人仍會讓孩子不安，這個階段還在發展成獨立的個體。 #７到８歲 主要恐懼常常是「孤獨」，會想要尋求陪伴。也開始談論死亡以及其他可能會傷害他們的東西，比如車禍或者空難，還是會怕黑。 #９到１２歲 開始會對學業表現感到擔憂，也會恐懼外貌不好看、受傷、死亡等... 孩子在此時更獨立並嘗試融入社群，他們會開始與他人比較。他們會強調自己已經長大，藉由同儕了解自己，越是同儕導向的孩子越會在這個階段感到不安 #青少年 主要擔憂人際關係，雖然他們比較融入社群，仍需要爸媽的建議或協助來改善學校問題（比方說人際關係的處理）。當他們對世界有更多的了解，也會表達對政治議題的擔心（有些青少年甚至會迷信來減緩憂慮感）。對於不確定的未來、天然災害或者其他成長的議題也會感到恐懼 ☕ 找到更多好睡資訊 網站：https://mybabyzzz.com/ 好眠線上學苑：https://mybabyzzz.teachable.com/ Instagram：https://www.instagram.com/haomianbaobao/ 電子報：https://www.subscribepage.com/mybabyzzz 臉書： https://www.facebook.com/mybabyzzz/ 諮詢、講座邀約、合作來信：goodsleepertw@gmail.com Clubhouse：@mybabyzzz Powered by Firstory Hosting

Getting Unstuck – Cultivating CuriosityWorth a Listen, Look or Read — Physician, Heal ThyselfIn this week's episode of "Getting Unstuck", we talked with Dr. Deborah MacNamara, a school counseling psychologist on why it's important for leaders to establish a healthy culture based on relationships. Interpersonal relationships are critical, but their success may be dependent on the relationship we have with ourselves. Those relationships can suffer do to what psychologists call the "empathy gap." And that's where we're going to focus in this installment of "Worth a Listen, Look, or Read."

The 3D Parent PodcastTIME-OUTS: ARE THEY IN OR OUT? “Time-outs use your relationship as something that can be given and then taken away; it makes your relationship with your child conditional.” Time-outs are a widely utilized parenting technique. A time-out is a punitive consequence used to “teach a lesson” to a child. While this technique is popular and recommended by many professionals, there is evidence that time-outs do much harm and very little good for the parent-child relationship. That’s why in this episode of The 3D Parent Podcast, I will share why time-outs are problematic and suggest ways to discipline without using time-outs. Point...
