At first, parents will think that the little guy is narcissistic, but he is not. Ms. Kang, a parenting expert at Happy Angel Early Education Center, explained to us that babies know themselves by looking in the mirror, which is the best training way to establish contact with the surrounding things through sensory experience!
In the parent-child class of Happy Angel Early Education Center, the instinctive behavior of the baby looking in the mirror has evolved into a parent-child game called "mirror time", which is suitable for babies of 0-6 months. Share it with your parents. The game is very simple and can be played at home:
1. Equipment preparation: 1 cushion (preferably larger);
Round mirror 1 (preferably larger)
There are many small toys (more colorful)
2. Parent-child game: spread the soft mat on the ground, put the mirror and small toys on the mat, and then let the baby lie comfortably in front of the mirror on the mat. At this time, the baby will naturally be attracted by beautiful small toys and their own appearance in the mirror. Driven by curiosity, babies often stare at themselves in the mirror very intently. If she is tired of watching, she will climb over and play with her toys, and so on. If the baby can't climb, it is necessary to insist on playing such a small game, which can promote the baby to climb.
3. Note: Parents must observe the baby's reaction and encourage the baby to look in the mirror and take toys with words. You can also use the reflection of the mirror to make faces and talk to the baby.
