It is estimated that many parents will show black and white cards to newborns now. After all, every parent wants his child to be a genius and win at the starting line. But some parents will worry: black and white cards are so simple, how to show them to their children to be effective?
For example, after Yao Yao was born six years ago, I also bought her black-and-white cards and color cards, but after eating them several times, I felt that my children were not interested and didn't insist on showing them black-and-white cards.
After Bauer was born, because he had studied family education and early education before, he knew the importance of black and white cards to children's visual stimulation, so he insisted on showing them to Bauer as much as possible. So, what is the visual development of newborns? How to show them black and white cards?
Our visual nerve cells actually began to develop in July, but they are not mature after birth. This is why the newborn can't see anything clearly, only the general outline.
Newborns can only see bright light and our outline. They can only see objects within 20-38 cm, which is just the distance when the baby is lying in the mother's arms and nursing, and can see the mother's face.
After 3 months, the baby can visually track the objects in sight. After 4 months, the baby's color vision development is completed and he can perceive color. At this time, we can show the children color cards. After 9 months, the baby's depth vision begins to develop, and they can perceive the distance and depth of objects.
When the baby is 2 years old, most of his eyesight has reached 0.3. After the baby is 3-5 years old, the vision is about 0.8, and the clarity of vision will continue to strengthen. After the age of 6, the baby's vision will develop, which is similar to that of adults.
After we know the baby's visual development, we can give visual stimulation with black and white cards and color cards after the baby is born to stimulate their brain vitality.
After Dabao was born, I also bought her a black-and-white card, but at that time I didn't understand why I wanted to see a black-and-white card and how to look at it. I just bought some black and white cards online.
Although black and white cards are simple, they are actually very particular about displaying them, because they also have a preference for the content of black and white cards.
It turns out that they have a preference for the shape and content of black and white cards. Newborns like normal faces best and stare at them for the longest time. Followed by the bull's eye diagram; The third is the text map; Without patterns, there is no response to stimuli.
Therefore, when newborns come home, they can't simply show them black and white cards, but show them according to their preferences.
Because the baby is more interested in the face map, so in the first month of the baby, we should hug them more, interact with them more, and brush the sense of existence in front of the newborn. This will not only stimulate their eyesight, but also enhance the parent-child relationship and enhance the baby's sense of security.
In addition to spending more time with the baby in the first month, let them see our happy faces and show them the face map. This face pattern can be a beautiful baby, an adult, or a self-painting or self-portrait made by software.
When we diy face black-and-white cards, we'd better DIY face pictures of parents, sisters, brothers, grandparents or grandparents' families, because babies are often familiar faces, followed by unfamiliar faces.
Because the visual distance of newborns is only 20 cm after birth, they will see a fuzzy whole first, and then slowly focus on the middle. Just like the distance from the mother's face to the baby's eyes when nursing, the dots in the bull's-eye pattern are like the mother's eyes, which can give the child a sense of security.
With the development of baby's eyesight, we can show them the most basic geometric figures, especially those with more squares. Because the more squares, the higher the spatial frequency, and the stronger the stimulation to the baby's visual nerve.
After the baby is familiar with the graphics in front, we can show them the graphics of daily necessities. Such as black and white pictures of milk bottles, small hands, fruits, tables and chairs. To help them build a simple understanding of the world around them.
After the baby is 4 months old, they gradually have a sense of color. We can show the baby red, yellow and blue cards first. After 6 months, you can show them colored cards to stimulate their visual development.
After 9 months, they have a deep perception of the distance and position of objects, and can show them three-dimensional object graphics and enhance their spatial vision.
This black-and-white card is recommended, which is not only printed with safe soybean ink, but also covered with double-sided matte film, which does not reflect light, and the fillet treatment will not scratch the baby.
When Dabao was born, I showed her a card in black and white, and found that she was not interested, so she didn't insist. In retrospect, my approach was problematic. Originally, the baby's vision was limited. I let her lie in bed and change black and white cards frequently. She didn't even see it clearly, so I took it. Naturally, she is not interested.
So, how to accompany children with black and white cards?
After the baby is awake, we can put the card about 20 cm away from the baby's eyes. Instead of changing black and white cards often, each card stays for about 7 seconds. If she keeps looking at a black and white card, we will allow the baby to look at it and describe the contents of the black and white card to them.
Because the younger baby has limited attention, he can teach for a few minutes at a time. You can let the baby lie down and watch the black and white cards, or you can hang the black and white cards above the baby's crib, or you can let the baby lie down and watch the black and white cards.
Education can only be effective if it is in good condition. We are like this, and so is the baby.
Therefore, when we teach the baby black-and-white card early education, it is best to give it half an hour after they finish drinking milk, or when the baby is in good condition after taking a shower. If the baby is upset and crying, we should not force them to have early education, otherwise it will be useless.
For newborns, showing them black and white cards is undoubtedly a good early education activity, which can stimulate their visual development and promote the connection of nerve cells in their brains. But in my opinion, reading black and white cards with the baby is also an excellent choice to enhance parent-child feelings, killing two birds with one stone. What did you say?/Sorry?
