Waaa Waaaa Waaaa

Waaaa waaaa waaaa. That suddenly becomes the most famous sound to first time parents. At first the sound sounds calming, and a little relaxing. It is a huge relieve to know that your baby is alive. That sound will never go away. It may decrease a lot, but it is a sound you will always here.

After a short period of time most parents start to get annoyed, because babies almost always cry. Parents be prepared to get woken up many times throughout the night to take care of your kid. When they cry at night it could be for a numerous reasons: hungry, thirsty, bad dream, want's attention, or just can't sleep. Try nursing the child for a while before doing anything else. If you try nursing the child, feeding it, and changing the diaper and the kid still won't calm down then just lay the child down, and go back to bed. You may have to listen to some crying for a while, but eventually it will cry itself back to sleep.

As kids get older they will start to cry less, and for different reasons. Toddlers may cry due to: teething, being mad, getting hurt, or getting disciplined. Never feel bad for disciplining your child unless you abuse it. Every child needs discipline, and if you feel bad for it then you will never discipline it. If your child is crying, because it's mad then try to comfort it. Comforting children at young ages will help them grow trust in people, and will make them want to open up to you more about things, because they know you'll be there for them. 

When toddlers turn into kids then they will start crying if more less often. They'd be starting school so most the time if they cry it'll be, because: them and a friend are fighting, they are having a bad dad, they got hurt, or they don't like something you're telling them to do. As a parent it's a great choice to still be there for the child through every step. Slowly start to let your guard down though, so they know that want they tell you is their choice. You don't want them to feel forced to tell you anything if they don't want to. If you do it'll lead to them telling lies, or not wanting to be around you. The most important thing to do is be there to comfort them. 

All kids will turn into teenagers at some point. Teens don't cry very often. Teens need to know that their parents are there for them, and care about them otherwise they will start to go down the wrong paths. Teens cry for different more grown up reasons. Don't force them to talk to you, because it'll only cause them to pull away from you. Teens start to realize what the "real world" is going to be like. Sometimes it hits some people harder then others. Teens mainly cry, because: breakup, bullying, grades, stress, depression, or they don't like the way something is. 

Adults will cry too at times. Even though they are adults they are still your kid. At this time they will cry for adult reasons, but they will still want support from their parents. At this point in your life you may seem like your to old, and your kids don't need you anymore, but that's not the case. They will still come to you, and ask you for advice throughout their entire life. 

Even though the crying can get annoying, and frustrating to deal with it'll never go away. Never give up on your kid. Always be there for your child, and support them through everything. If they start going down the wrong paths be there to help them out, and on the right path. Always be there to give them a shoulder to cry on when needed.
