Bad Mood

by Greeneyes1976

(June 2006) (rank 500+)

Have you ever been in a rutt when one child is in a bad mood and the other follows?..................There is something we can do about it and it's music it's soothing to a child regardless of the age and making it fun and dancing around is fun for you the

parrent and children let the child make up new dances that he or she can teach the other people in your family ............this does take a bit to get the child out of the bad mood but with a little comfort and alot of smiles the frown will turn upside down

Please expand your thoughts.

Though you have a good point, it will benefit us all if you expand on your thoughts and offer a little bit more suggestions on how to pick up children's moods. Perhaps do a little research and provide some examples on order for your advice to be excellent. Is music the only way to improve a child's mood? What about games? What about talking to the child to let him/her express his/her feelings? This advice could even be expanded to be "Coping Mechanisms For Children" where you can list out the benefits of helping your child out of the blues. Or maybe you don't have to do any "pick me ups", maybe a child can also benefit from just "letting be".

A short article like this is almost like an opinion, a thought that popped in your head that you decide to write down. It has a pontial of being great though, trust me. Just put a little bit more effort.

Re: Please expand your thoughts.

Opinions are advice my annoyomous friend. You dont have to write a research paper on a subject to give advice, children are like us men quite simple and easy to please. A parents gut feeling or experience has more weight than a researcher ever will. People that spend more time researching than parenting with their gut and intuition end up having kids in a shrinks office over not potty training by 18 months,,, relax a little, and let us know who you are if you are going to tell someone to do reaserch on what works for her kids. Its great that people tell others on what works for them that is reaserch, the best kind of research...... your own kids.

Re: Please expand your thoughts.

You misunderstood. I have no problem with the subject of this article, what I am commenting on was the way in which it was presented. The word "research" does not have to be academical in nature. Research in this article could just simply mean presenting other people's experiences and perhaps "argue" for or against it. For example: "when picking up my daughter's mood, I find that music is the best. Such and such parents may do this____ but I found that it really doesn't resolve the problem........."

Intuition counts for a lot. You don't need to preach to me. All of us here, parents, go by our instincts and intuion most of the time since none of us got a "how to".

Though some advice can be considered opinions, not all opinions are advice. I can say "I hate spanking my children" and that can be an opinion but in no way an advice while statements like "spanking in my opinion is morally demeaning" is an advice. Opinion=a personal belief or judgment that is not founded on proof or certainty. Advice=a proposal for an appropriate course of action.

Sounds ;-) Good

Although it may sound a little bit "tree huggy", I truly believe music can lift your little folks mood. I have seen my godsons (Aged 3 and 5) "rock-out" and giggles and laughter are the usual symptoms of such shenanigans. Simple, but great advice
