“Understanding a Child’s Cry: കുട്ടി കരയുമ്പോൾ ശ്രദ്ധിക്കേണ്ടത്”
In this session, Ms. Mary Praisy from Sravana Speech & Hearing Centre explains that a child’s cry is not just noise—it is communication. One of the most common reasons children cry is hunger. When meal times are irregular or routines are missing, children become unsettled both physically and emotionally. Often, what appears as misbehaviour is simply the child expressing a basic need.
Ms. Mary Praisy reminds parents that children experience big feelings in small bodies. They may feel tired, overwhelmed or frustrated but lack the words to explain it. Crying becomes their voice. In such moments, she encourages parents to respond with connection rather than correction.
She highlights the power of a tight, reassuring hug. Physical closeness, calm presence and gentle expressions of love and care help children regulate their emotions and feel safe. These responses tell the child, “I see you, I understand you and I am here.”
At Sravana, families are guided to listen to a child’s cry with empathy, supported by routines, emotional awareness and consistent expressions of care.
