Why is my child moaning?

It is difficult to hear our child moan. It tires us out and we don’t always have the time to deal with our child with what he is forcing. It is reasonable. We would all rather rather tell us what was to blame for him in a simple and understandable way. But children do not always have this way, and they have to learn from us.

Grumbling is not a bad behavior that she has learned from a third party and brings her home. He does not even try to get us out of our water and annoy us. Grumbling is a way for the child to communicate to us adults, something that has bothered it or something they need. But he often does not have the ability to talk about it or explain it as adults do it. So we need to see what is under the moan, because often, it’s deeper.

• Does not have the means to respond to what we ask for
• Feels helpless
• May need emotional reunion with parent after a difficult day
• He wants something very much and he doesn’t know how he can get it or ask for
• Has anxiety and needs to cry
• May feel that we do not really hear it and that his opinion does not count
