My sensitve lil one

I read about baby at 10-months are easily frighten with unfamiliar loud noise or things that he doesn't understand. There are things that a 10-months enjoy exploring but not the ringing doorbell, the vacum cleaner or a bang! Parents need to reassure them and comfort them when they are fighten and fearful.

Maximus on the other hand is a little sensitive towards these loud noises especially a cry of little children or other baby! He started to show the first sign when he was in his late 8-months but now, he does it more oftern than usual. It's more like a domino effect! Each time when other child / baby starts crying... in less than the count of 3, he begins too. My mother said he is full of compassion and can empathized on the other's feeling. Well, I am not sure about it but can agree to it. I associate it with being sensitive and timid. Maybe he senses and associates crying sound to danger or scolding. So he started to get frighten.

Other than that, he cries when we (besides me - he laughs when i say "no") said "No!" He understands what's a scolding is. Recently, he cries when he heard a loud sneeze or daddy blowing his nose or "hep" as to stop him from doing certain things.

He is an intrapersonal child. He is fit and strong physically but on the inner side he is rather sensitive. He doesn't cry when he knock his head or fell down but he cries when he heard other baby cries. I hope to toughen him so that he can be more emotional in control. Of course, he is just a 10-months but it's better to start now from early age. Hope he will understand in his later age as he matures further.
