Working with children is not easy. Any teacher or doctor knows this. It is important to understand two simple secrets here.

Child should be loved and not feared. To love and understand a little man – this is a special gift, Kotormo have few,and that the baby can learn to. This gift is, as a rule, Mom is my grandmother's father. Often even parents are afraid, afraid of hurting him, offend. And you need to treat the child easier – try to understand him and approach him with love. Understand – that a child is not a toy. It's very flexible, an agile and resilient creature with its own little joys and sorrows.

Dear children's massage therapists. If you are afraid to approach your child, feel antipathy, раздражение – don't even go near the baby and, at all, change jobs – she's not for you. But if you feel joy, curiosity, sympathy for any child – from infant to teenager – trying to understand him, caress pat, say kind, kind words – this job is for you. Pure children's hearts will immediately be drawn to you. And the contact will be good – and communication, and treatment, and training.

Children can and should be loved. Then understanding and experience of communication will come. And you yourself will become wiser and kinder.

I 18 worked at school for years. I have an adult daughter and two small grandchildren. My daughter and I have always been friends – understood each other. And now she treats her kids the same way. – daughter and tiny son.

I'll tell you a little secret. I often talk to kids like adults., they really like it. But with older kids you can be gentle. Sometimes they miss so much affection, tenderness and attention - a piece of their early childhood. I worked in an elementary school. And high school students often came to me to share their joys and experiences.. Even now young people stop me on the street, say hello, smiling, remember happy school years. Some of them are already mothers and fathers themselves. They ask me for my phone, to consult, chat, talk about your kids. My son-in-law – he's like my son – he loves and is not afraid of his son and daughter. Maybe feed them, play, does gymnastics with them. Deftly and carefully, like acrobatics, he lifts you by the arms and spins you around, tumbles his babies. He knows and understands, that they are very flexible, flexible and not afraid to harm them. Natural love and parental intuition tell him better than any specialist, what can a baby do?, what not to do.

We, massage therapists, should help parents specifically in medical terms and in the practice of massage movements. Correctly assess development, health and capabilities of the child and direct the elements of massage in the right direction, gymnastics and initial diagnostics. And most importantly – DO NOT HARM. Work very carefully, carefully. For any deviations, suspected disease, be sure to consult a doctor – children's specialist. And maybe even stop the massage. It’s not for you to self-medicate, not for mommies.

I wish love and understanding to everyone, who communicates with children. How beautiful the flowers are, our babies will blossom and sparkle with their beauty and charm, with all facets of your talents.
