I slapped my 4 year old daughter on the cheek
I'm worried about my daughter who cries a lot. My daughter has been crying a lot since she was a baby. During the period when my ego began to sprout, I was able to remove circular hair due to tantrums every day. Even so, I sympathize with my daughter's desire to do it herself, and I've raised her not to yell or hit her even though bad things aren't good.
I'm young now, but my tantrums are pretty much gone, but I cry every day.
The reason for this is that they cry because “Mom went to the bathroom first” or “I wanted to talk, but I forgot what to say because of my mom.” Every time, I'm scolding them for things they don't want to be scolded.
The whole family ate breakfast well this morning, had plenty of skinship, and tried to go to kindergarten in a good mood, but I stopped at the stairs of my house and was nervous, so I said, “If you don't get off early, you won't be able to make it in time for kindergarten,” and if you go down the stairs first, it's no good if you knock me down the stairs! I said that and started crying. There is also time for the train to go to kindergarten, and at first they gently soothed them, “If you want to be number one, don't stop, you should go ahead,” but I never stopped crying, and I became frustrated and said, “Come on every day already! What don't you like so much!” I said that and hit me on the cheek. In the end, I couldn't get on the train, so I contacted the kindergarten and drove them off.
By the time I arrived at kindergarten, I had calmed down and apologized for hitting me, and my daughter also apologized and made up, but it seems like every day I get neurotic from this kind of exchange. When people cry in places where there are a lot of people, such as department stores, it becomes miserable because they seem to be exposing “selfish kids and bad parents.” To be honest, even when compared to my friends around me, I don't think I'm spoiling them as a mother or, conversely, being too strict. I have no idea I'm crying this much.
How should I treat my daughter so she can better control her emotions?
I'm sorry for the long post.
(I don't have any siblings. (They seem to be kind to their friends and enjoy being good with their teachers at kindergarten)
