First, the baby is more active, tearing paper to attract the attention of others is a way of communication for the baby. When the baby tears the paper, you will find that his eyes are bright, happy, squinting and laughing, and his mouth will make a babbling sound, as if communicating with you. So tearing paper is an expression of children, as if to say play with me, play with me.
Second, tearing paper is a baby's imitation ability. Because we usually do all our activities by hand, and our baby, he doesn't know what we are doing? At this time, the most important, portable and useful thing he can catch is paper, so he uses his shredded paper to imitate our usual activities.
Third, it is a way to make the baby more considerate. At this time, he may feel bored, but he feels that crying is not good, so he uses tearing paper to solve boredom. The baby who tore the paper is an angel on earth.
If you watch carefully at ordinary times, you will find that children who like to cry will cry and make a scene easily. They don't have this kind of quiet tearing behavior. This paper tearing behavior seems to be innate. I studied a child at a friend's house. Once, his family was very busy, and then, we saw that he had been tearing toilet paper. Perhaps the parents in the child's consciousness are busy, and it is not good to cry at this time, so he uses the behavior of tearing paper to coax himself. There is no doubt that this way of fooling yourself is successful. Because once you find that your child starts tearing paper, he will be quiet or have fun, laughing quietly or babbling, so if some children in some families can't coax them, you can try to give him some toilet paper, of course, to prevent them from stuffing their mouths. At this point, you will find that he may seriously start tearing the toilet paper in his hand and become very clever.
