neonatus
Recommended scheme:
You can face him face to face, or use a mirror to make him notice the change in his face. Touch the baby, soothe and touch the baby's whole body. Although the newborn sleeps more, you must "talk" to him when you are awake.
The second month
Focus of early education this month: initial big movements and sense of smell.
Recommended scheme:
Lie prone and do it 2-3 times a day to exercise the muscle strength of your baby's neck and upper arms. Smell the baby with soap and vinegar and see how he will react differently. Respond to the baby's "ahhh" and "goo goo" and encourage "talking". Enjoy touching.
The third month
The focus of early education this month: learn to turn over and improve your visual and auditory abilities.
Recommended scheme:
Let the baby lie on his side and guide him to lie on his back with toys (pay attention to safety). Make various sounds, such as ringing bells and squeezing plastic toys, to cultivate the baby's ability to distinguish sounds. Walk around in bright clothes and see how the baby follows you.
Fourth month
Focus of early education this month: language enlightenment, grasping ability.
Recommended scheme:
Pretend to make a phone call or tell a story, and your mouth can be exaggerated. Give baby handkerchiefs and toys with handles. Increase the chances of grasping and let the baby experience different sounds and rhythms when flapping. Give your baby more opportunities to practice lying down and turning over.
Fifth month
Focus of early education this month: hand-eye coordination and language ability.
Recommended scheme:
Give the baby more things to grasp with his hands, so that he can have a chance to understand the world with his hands. Record the baby's "words" with a tape recorder, and then play them to him to let him know the concept of "listening". Slowly pull the baby's hand to make him sit up, or hold the baby for a while.
Sixth month
The focus of early education this month: fine hand movements and language understanding.
Recommended scheme:
Find some brightly colored buttons or beans for the baby to catch (be careful not to eat by mistake). Always tell your baby what is happening around you and encourage him to see, listen and feel. Appropriately reduce the time to hold the baby and give him more opportunities to move freely.
Seventh month
The focus of early education this month: hand coordination, understanding the eternal concept of objects.
Recommended scheme:
Encourage the baby to slap the object with both hands and allow the baby to take the spoon by himself. The baby plays hide and seek, covers his beloved toy with his hand and shows it to him. Start to let the baby distinguish one or two colors, such as starting with red.
Eighth month
The focus of early education this month: language ability and crawling ability.
Recommended scheme:
Tell the baby the name of the object and the names of various parts of the body, and pay attention to practicing his finger pointing action. Use yourself or toys in front of the baby to make him move forward and exercise his crawling ability. Encourage the baby to pass things from one hand to the other.
Ninth month
Focus of early education this month: crawling action and cognitive ability
Recommended scheme:
Give your baby more opportunities to practice crawling, and set more changes for his journey with toys or objects at home, and he will feel happy crawling. Help your baby understand the causality of things around him, such as turning on the lights at dark and turning off the lights at dawn.
10 month
Focus of early education this month: fine movements, imitation ability
Recommended scheme:
Consciously teach him to use some "simple gestures" to express some eating, taking, hugging, goodbye and so on. Pick up beans with the baby and sort the toys. Babies nowadays like imitation best. On the premise of safety, let the baby participate in what you usually do.
Month 1 1
Focus of early education this month: big action skills and recognition
Recommended scheme:
If the baby likes to stand, give him more opportunities to practice. If he doesn't like it, don't force it. Consciously choose different shapes and colors of food and toys to guide the baby to observe and understand. Babies like to put many things in a container and then pour them out.
12 months
Focus of early education this month: fine movements and independent consciousness
Recommended scheme:
Encourage your baby to string beads and classify toys. Give the baby a doll and give him another chance to take care of others. Give the baby a safe space and let him practice standing, bending and walking.
