Affectionate words for a child
Communicating with children on a daily basis, parents not only give them unusual nicknames and names, but also use affectionate and tender words. All children repeatedly hear such epithets in their address: sweet, beloved, gold, diamond, dear, sunny, beloved.

What were the affectionately called children in Russia?
In ancient times, people had a belief: what you call a person, this will be his fate. Therefore, the choice of names was treated with great responsibility. In the same way, they took caressing nicknames seriously: these were not only diminutive versions of the names of children, but also such affectionate-sounding words as Bogatyr, Hawk, Good Good, Falcon - for boys, and Zvezdochka, Clear Sun, Swallow, Sineglazka - for girls ... As today, parents tried to emphasize strength and courage in their sons, and in their daughters - beauty and tenderness. Nowadays, the guys are almost never called that.
Finding an affectionate nickname for your own child is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance. It happens that a word becomes attached by itself, after some event or someone's statement. How to affectionately address the baby is a personal matter for everyone, you just have to remember that it is more pleasant for children when they are called gentle appeals that will not offend them, and also that a nickname can change a person's character. If parents do not want to instill in their child harmful behaviors, it is better to choose nicknames wisely.
The happiness of parents who have the most intelligent, beautiful and wonderful child is boundless and requires different ways of expression. Agree, it is difficult to call your treasure only by name. When mom and dad want to express their love for the baby, they come up with many affectionate and funny nicknames that enrich communication with the baby.
Knop, Shustrik, Matryoshka, Makovka, Pretzel, Pupsik, Chamomile, Gray, Sunny ... As soon as we do not call our children in a fit of tenderness. An affectionate nickname is a symbol of the closeness of souls, a kind of "code" with which parents demonstrate their love for children.
"Names" reflect all the nuances of the relationship between parents and children. It so happens that during childhood, a child will change not a single second name. Such nicknames reflect a characteristic feature of personality development at a particular age. For some, the "nazyvalka" persists for life.
In some families, the baby is called only by name, and diminutive epithets are considered unworthy of attention. This speaks of the coldness of the parents. In such a family, the baby is unlikely to develop harmoniously. Other parents are too expansive - they literally bombard the baby with nicknames. This is the other extreme, because the baby needs moderation and stability in names.
Even a simple variation of a child's name brings meaningful nuances to communication. For example, many children are alarmed when they are called by their full names: Irina, Vasily. The meaning of home nicknames is sometimes available only to parents and children. Sometimes it is just a set of sounds or a child's name changed beyond recognition. But almost always, family "slang" makes the relationship between parents and children warmer and more trusting.
Features of nicknames:
- emphasize that adults are big, all-knowing, and children are small, inexperienced. This is how the family hierarchy is built;
- nicknames are often used by parents to project their children's expectations. For example, mom calls her skinny daughter Pampushechka. She probably wants her to get better;
- nicknames often reflect character traits - Krasotulya, Sly, Znayka, etc.
Soft and fluffy
Kitten, Bunny, Bear - these nicknames are incredibly popular. Indeed, when looking at baby animals, most of us melt with emotion. Well, how can we not draw parallels with kids!
Such affectionate nicknames have their own characteristics. For example, a Kitten is not just a soft and fluffy lump, but also a playful, clawed fidget. And Kisonka is a more gentle, unhurried creature, but she sometimes releases her claws.
The kids, who are called the Mouse or the Bunny, are very curious, restless, thin and nimble. They become fluffy only when they sleep in an embrace with their favorite toy. What do the parents want to say when they call the child Prankster, Robber, Piglet? Of course, adults want to scold the baby a little with such a name, but at the same time they are proud of him. Often these names refer to lively, mobile guys, from whom leaders grow. If such a name is pronounced friendly, supplemented with a diminutive suffix, accompanied by the word "small", there is nothing wrong with it.
But still try not to choose a nickname with a negative connotation for your child - this way you can create a program that the baby will learn on a subconscious level. Then do not be surprised if one day, in his defense, the kid says: "I'm a pig!" By the way, sometimes it is very useful to play name-calling - this is how immunity is developed to teasers who are waiting for the baby in kindergarten and school.
Psychologists have found that children with funny names have "punchy" character traits, since from childhood they are forced to seek a normal attitude towards themselves.
Princes and princesses
Wishing to emphasize the beauty and uniqueness of their child, the parents give him a truly royal nickname - Princess, Diamond. Such names speak of boundless love for a child and also ... about exaggerated requirements for him.
Try not to focus on one nickname. After all, the Princess can also, once climbing over the fence, tear her dress and turn into a little Rogue.
- It's good if dad and mom call the baby completely different names, because he is unpredictable.
- Do not abuse nicknames, otherwise the baby will forget how to respond to his name.
- Respect your baby's interests. If he doesn't like the nickname, discard it. And in general, ask if the baby wants to be called that. Suddenly you have different ideas about this name.
