Cry baby

During Chinese new year we went out with Christian to see a bunch of relatives and friends and that’s how it all began.  He’s now very scared of the sight of people and sometimes even me and his dad.  I had to talk to him very gently to soothe him every time he cried.  I am guessing he’s overstimulated and tired from all the activities.  I decide to let him stay home for a week to calm down.  He seems to be a lot happier today.

Lesson learnt:  Don’t overwhelm your young child with too many activities and pay attention to the surrounding.  I think the key trigger of his sudden fear of people was my friend’s daughter’s intense scream.  These was horror on his face when she screamed her lung out.
