Hello, dear!
The term "baby" might have been used when we were very young, in kindergarten, by the teachers or the nannies around us.
And if we go to an interest class, the teacher in the interest class will see that we are small and they will love us just the same! They may even call us "baby," which is totally okay!
Then, as we gradually grow up and enter elementary school, middle school, and even higher institutions of learning in the future, at this time, teachers generally or even no longer use the term "baby" to refer to their students. Instead, they'll call them by their first names or the two characters "小明" (Xiaoming) stacked together.
As we grow up and mature, we tend to reserve the term "baby" for those closest to us, like our parents, grandparents, and later, our close friends, lovers, and spouses.
If you feel like this kind of address is inappropriate, you're not alone! It can be confusing and even a little uncomfortable at times. But it's also a natural part of growing up and forming relationships. It shows that you value the teacher and feel a close connection with them. It's also a way of expressing your desire for relationships and attention.
On the other hand, it also shows our desire for relationships and our thirst for attention.
On the other hand, if you feel uncomfortable, you can absolutely speak up and let the teacher know how you're feeling. It's totally okay to say no or share your thoughts and opinions.
