Hello! A girl of 20 years. I am and my problem is that I am starting to be afraid that I do not know at all how to behave with children and how to communicate with them. I guess I still don't have any maternal instincts. If a small child comes to me with curious eyes and wants to play, I just do not know how to react and literally sleep, I can not relax next to them. Some of my friends like it - they know what to say, they know where to support the child if he is a toddler, they know how to play with him, and I just drive. I guess it's also due to the fact that I'm just a kid. Can you give me any advice? I don't know at all how I will look after my child one day: D

Don't worry, I was too. After I gave birth, that changed. Just say hey sweetie and that's it and that's how my mother will be happy. You don't need more.
He does not think that he is responsible to such an extent, but rather that he is a child comrade with whom to play.
Hello, I am 1 year younger than you, I have the same problem. I'm also an only child, probably really due to that. Also, there are no small children around me (relatives for example) and I'm not used to it, so when I see a small child I'm a little scared because I don't know how to react and I have to pretend I'm happy. Sometimes I even think that I will be afraid to have a child, because of that. I just wanted to tell you that you are not the only one with such a problem: D and I will follow the topic.
It's me again. Well, I'm not just a child and I still didn't know until I became a mother. Don't worry, having a child will teach you. The child will teach you, you are not born learned. The mother is born with the birth of the child. It becomes so slow and smooth from a baby to a child that you imperceptibly learn together with the child. First you hold it under your arms to stand up straight for a short time, then gradually more, finally to walk outside with your hands, each time longer, at one point it only lets go. There are hormones that are released when you give birth, do not be afraid. But knowing that being a parent is difficult. There is a lot of sleep deprivation the first years, there is a roar, stubbornness until you make it a person, no time for hair, nail polish, difficult to combine child work, cooking, washing. But if you're organized, you'll do it.
I used to be like that. It's just harder with someone else's child. When you have your own, you know each other and it happens by itself. From there you get used to it and know how to behave with other children.
I am also an only child. In fact, even the youngest of the cousins (I don't have cousins), etc. But I always loved playing with children from an early age. I even have a cursory memory from 1/2 class, maybe I don't know. How we sat with mom at a cafe and I see a baby at the next table and asked her to ask if I can play with him: D. At the age of 14 I watched the baby of my mother's friend for the first time in our country / he was 1 year old / for about 3 days without my mother helping me change diapers, getting up in the evening, feeding, etc. At the age of 16 I watched from 6 months the daughter of my best friend / she was 22 / and I was damn happy. I built a wonderful relationship with her and today, when she is almost 6 years old, I still take her home to watch her. Mom couldn't handle her when the little one was crying and Mom didn't know how to calm her down, I always succeeded. I am 21 years old but I do not plan to have children soon, although I give everything for a large family. Remember how you felt, what you liked and what you were interested in when you were a child. What irritated you in adults, for example / pinching cheeks, questions about boyfriends and school .. / it bothered me and I avoid doing it when communicating with children, I just put myself in their place. You need a lot of nerves and treat them like a friend. I don't think it's necessary to lie to children when they ask questions, for example, or to scare them with a torbalan, etc. Talk to the child as if he were a big man. You will be amazed at how smart today's children are and how quickly they understand :) and you can also learn something new from them. what you liked and what you were interested in when you were a child.

Maternal instinct is usually unlocked after birth. But to tell you the truth, I still have such problems with other people's children. I like mine, but I find most strangers too annoying and I don't pay attention to them. There are exceptions, the child's best friend for example or my nieces. But I think it's the same with children as it is with adults, you can't like everyone, especially when they're so rude. He who claims the opposite is lying. It's just that I'm obviously a bit more extreme.
I am the same and I am bigger than you. It doesn't come from inside me and I've already stopped working. We do not have to pay attention to other people's children.
I am the same way and I am an only child. When someone comes to me, I just smile and I don't know what else to do. It worries me to take some action so as not to anger him or make a mistake somewhere.
So am I. I'm a 40-year-old woman, I have a five-year-old son, with whom I get along great, but if a friend comes to share something with me and I get burned and become an artificial aunt with artificial phrases, type, well done how old you are and so on. I was also afraid of how I would get along with my child. But it is day and night with you, so you get to know each other and find a common language. I do more for him than I would for myself. It's different, don't worry.
You put it in the doghouse and that's it.
