The baby is about 2 years old. Have you noticed that toddlers are more and more fond of taking a bath, playing with plastic toys in the bathtub, patting occasionally, watching the splash and then laughing? You will notice that children gradually become interested in every part of their bodies. He likes to compare his figure with yours: "My feet are small" or "Mom's feet are big".

Sometimes, he will cover a certain part of the body for you to find, and sometimes he will let you guess which part he is covering. In a word, he enjoys playing games about his body, but you are getting impatient.

In fact, the baby's performance shows that he has begun to be interested in his body. Yu Chunlin, an early education center in Yi Bei, told reporters that the child's behavior shows that he has reached the exploratory stage of cultivating self-identity. So, he became interested in all parts of his body. He knows his hands and feet when he is lying in the stroller. He knows that his hands can help him take things, put them in his mouth to suck, and push away things he doesn't want. 18 months later, children's focus began to know other parts of their bodies, understand their names and functions, and begin to know how to distinguish themselves from others, and understand that everyone's body is different; In this period, children need to know themselves and establish self-identity by knowing their own bodies.

You should play sports games with your children.

The early education consultant said that at this time, parents should learn to teach their children to say the names of various parts "this is the nose", "this is the ear" and "this is the mouth", so that children can compare their bodies with others "this is the baby's nose and that is the brother's nose". Everyone has a nose, but everyone's nose looks different "

When a child hides a certain part of his body, parents should patiently accompany him to find it and guess which part he hides. Or, parents should always take their children to look in the mirror and tell them what all parts of the body look like; You can also put the child's hand on white paper and help him draw a hand shape for him to see. You can ask him to paint his favorite color on his hand.

A child's exploration of every part of his body is staged. If his parents don't interfere, he will soon get through this period and continue to grow. On the contrary, if parents interfere or blame their children at will when they explore themselves, it will stop their growth and prolong their time to explore themselves.
