From this age, the education of the baby should not be what knowledge to learn and how many words to recognize, but to cultivate the baby's interest! Personally, I think you should think clearly about the purpose of your education before educating your baby.

The educational goal of 8 ~ 14 month baby.
Over the years, we have used three effective methods to describe the educational goals from 8 months to 3 years old. The first method is that we find that all healthy 8-month-old babies are driven by three main interests besides their physiological needs such as hunger, thirst and pain relief. These three main interests are socializing, especially socializing with the main caregivers; Satisfy curiosity; Master and enjoy new sports ability. These interests with obvious survival value are very strong and balanced in all healthy 8-month-old babies. If the baby develops well, every interest will grow steadily and keep a balance. The development of these interests during the baby's 8 ~ 24 months is often unbalanced, and the result will be slight or serious adverse consequences. For you who care about your baby very much, the only difficulty you face is the danger of your baby's over-socialization. The most common consequence is what we call overdependence. We will continue to discuss how to guide the balanced and stable development of these interests.
The second way to describe the educational goal is to form a model of baby's intelligence, language, perception and social ability, which is a typical ability we find in well-developed children aged 3-6. Four important social skills will begin to appear in the fifth stage. From nine and a half months to 1 1 month, the baby will begin to realize that adults can help him and begin to seek the help of adults purposefully. At about the same time, the baby will begin to seek praise from others for his small achievements and clever behavior, which is the initial performance of the baby's sense of accomplishment. It is also at this stage that the baby will begin to express his feelings to the main caregiver. They may snuggle up to you, hug you and even kiss you. They will also look you in the eye and clearly express their anger at you. Finally, soon after the baby reaches 1 year, it will begin to appear some pretend or fantasy behaviors. The most common examples are making a toy phone call or pretending to drive a toy truck, car or plane.
The third way to describe the educational goal of this special stage is to explain the four basic processes that babies go through in the first 36 months. These development processes include language, curiosity, intelligence and social skills.
Language development
Although babies may react to some words in the first 6 or 7 months, there is no reason to believe that they can understand the meaning of these words. A 5-month-old baby will react when he hears his name. However, if you call him by any name, his reaction is the same. But at 7 to 8 months, the baby will obviously show that he has begun to understand the meaning of some words. Usually a 1 year-old baby knows 5 ~ 10 words and simple instructions such as "sit down", "no" and "wave goodbye".
By the time the baby is 3 years old, they will be able to understand most words (about 70%) used in daily conversation. There is a great difference between the development of language understanding ability and the development of learning to use language (conversation). For all babies with normal physical development, the period when language comprehension begins to develop is the same, which is between the sixth month and the eighth month. This ability will be steadily improved in the next two years, and it will show an accelerated development trend. On the other hand, in the first two years, the ability to speak is not a sign of baby's language development. If the baby 14 months still can't talk, and other development is normal, then he is probably fine. However, if he can't understand the meaning of at least 24 words in 14 months, then its development is likely to lag behind. Many smart children seldom talk before 18 months or 19 months. But by the time they are 2 years old, most of them will learn to speak a lot.
Language ability, like many other issues we will discuss, is interrelated with the development of other abilities in 1 year. For example, if a child doesn't develop good language skills, he won't do well in the IQ test at the age of 3 or 4. In fact, you can usually accurately predict a child's IQ test score by reliably evaluating his language ability at the age of 3 or 4.
In addition to playing an important role in intellectual development, language also plays an equally important role in the development of social skills. Communication between two people includes listening and language use. Therefore, from a very important aspect, good language ability development is the basis of good social ability development.
The development of curiosity
Almost everyone knows that kittens have an unusually strong curiosity at some stage. We also know that monkeys and puppies are the same. In fact, many young mammals, including horses, will go through such a period of exploring desire. We have never defined this stage of human beings accurately before, perhaps because scholars who study the early development of human beings still have a lot of work to do. However, I believe that the research conducted in the past 30 years-especially our own research on various types of children in the family environment-helps to fill this gap.
We have never met an 8-month-old baby without strong curiosity. We have never seen an 8-month-old baby learn to crawl and need encouragement to explore around the house. Remember, a strong desire to explore is extremely important to human beings. Unlike most other animals, human beings have to go through a long period of development and are not as strong in coping instinct as other animals. Nothing is more important than pure curiosity for a good educational development.
intellectual development
According to Piaget's theory, an 8-month-old baby has experienced a turning point in development. At this time, the baby has a preliminary understanding of the world and his basic sports ability, and began to pay attention to all kinds of small things. In the next year, he will actively explore simple causality and explore the motion mode, texture, shape and morphology of objects. This is a very fulfilling period, during which the baby will lay the foundation for the formation of various higher intellectual abilities. Of course, as far as education is concerned, nothing is more important than nastic movement's exploration. Higher intelligence is based on nastic movement. It is worth pointing out that it is the baby's simple exploration of small objects hundreds of times that lays the foundation for the future development of thinking ability, rather than the information and experience given to the baby by others in other ways. The formation of this perceptual movement foundation, which is closely related to higher learning, is inevitable and there will be no risk.
Social capacity development
A 2-year-old child is a very complicated and shrewd social creature. To a great extent, a baby's social interaction revolves around his main caregiver (usually his mother, but there are exceptions). Usually, they will form a special agreement, which is full of "if" and "and" but constitutes a wide range of rules governing the baby's behavior. He already knows whether his mother is a gentle and friendly person. He has been able to know his mother's emotional state at any time through various subtle appearances. He usually has all kinds of different information about his father and brothers and sisters, especially brothers and sisters who are not much different from his age. He may develop into a pleasant and easy-going person at the age of 2, a small partner who can bring people all kinds of pleasant experiences; Or, unfortunately, he may develop into an overly willful child, a child who always makes his mother angry, especially when there are younger children at home. In other words, he may become a pleasant or annoying child. More unfortunately, children who are constantly rejected learn to close themselves at the age of 2, and never establish a free and intimate relationship with others, and get pleasure from it.
Another unusual situation is that some children learn to be afraid when they are 8 to 24 months old. In rare cases, a child may be afraid to get close to his mother unless he gets clear instructions. More commonly, a 2-year-old child, in hundreds of contacts with his brother and sister, clearly realized that his brother and sister didn't care much about him.
The development of these four educational foundations-language, curiosity, intelligence and social skills-may be threatened in the eighth to twenty-fourth month. What does "threat" mean? I mean, it's different from the ability formed in the first six months or eight months. At that time, because a simple and general environment was needed to ensure the formation of baby's ability, the realization of educational goals was not guaranteed during 8 ~ 24 months. It is not inevitable for a baby to learn a language well, nor is it inevitable for him to grow and broaden his curiosity, nor is it inevitable for him to develop his social skills stably and productively. Finally, the higher intellectual ability that should appear at the end of the second year, like the other three abilities, will also be damaged compared with the optimal level of development. Even if the basis of intelligence-that is, the basis of perceptual movement stage-is not sensitive to environmental changes, this damage will exist. In fact, I must emphasize that, in my opinion, only children below110 can develop these four basic abilities to their due level.
