But this time, I want to introduce to you the games Eva and I played at home six months ago, including personality development, sensory games, aesthetics, large-scale sports development, hand-eye coordination, and some unclassified games, one *** 16.
First, personality development
1, give her a choice.
Eva 4 months
Although the baby is still young, mom and dad are helping them make all the decisions, and even need our help to sleep. But if you have the heart, you can actually give them the opportunity to choose, let them know that their parents also respect them, and then help them build self-confidence and independent personality.
For example, reading to a baby, you can take out three books and let the baby choose which one she wants to read: one she likes best, one she has already read, and one new book.
For another example, I didn't just give her one toy to play with, but I chose two toys to put in front of her. I don't talk or shake toys, let her choose which one to play with. Sometimes she will look at these two toys and then reach out her little hand to catch one of them. Then I will tell her, ah, you chose your Manhattan dance.
2. Encourage reaching for toys.
Eva 4 months
When Eva is playing on the climbing mat, I often put her favorite toys next to her, and she will actively try to reach for them. Don't put the toys too far away, it will cause her frustration. Putting it where she only needs to reach for it, or a little further away, will inspire her to try her best to catch the toy.
I found that although Eva can turn over, it can only turn over from the left. If she wants to turn over from the right, it will be more difficult. So I often put her favorite toys on her right side, which can guide her to turn them over from the right side to catch them. Finally, on the 27th day after she was able to turn over from the left, she was finally able to turn over from the right independently.
When she plays alone, I often observe her every move, and gradually know when to intervene and when to encourage her when she is frustrated and angry.
Or, you can hang a bell or a toy, encourage her to reach out and grab it, or kick it, no matter what, it can play a very good role in promoting body muscle development.
Second, the senses * * *
1, perceptual packet
Eva 5 months
Perception package is an excellent sensory game for baby's cognitive exploration, which can help baby to exercise hand-eye coordination ability and promote the cognitive development of texture and color. The first material used in Eva sensory package is shampoo, then water is added, and finally pigment (preferably food pigment) is added.
First, I put some shampoo in my bag:
In order not to let her bite the bag, I fixed one side of the fresh-keeping bag to the floor with wide tape.
Then add water to the bag to make the shampoo foam a lot.
Finally, I added paint to the bag so that she could know the color and mix them together by kneading.
2. Sound bottle
Eva 5 months
I found some empty bottles, big and small, with thick and thin glass and plastic, and made an empty bottle sound show for Eva to exercise her ability to distinguish different sounds and find the source of sound.
Step 2 observe nature
Eva 4 months
Nature is the best early education teacher. Leaves fluttering in the wind can train the baby's ability to follow vision, and the crisp and pleasant birdsong can train the baby's ability to recognize the direction of sound. Every time I hold Eva and sit under the big tree in the backyard, I can always find her staring at the leaves overhead, with no less concentration than breastfeeding. Pick a bunch of flowers for her to observe, and she can enjoy them (please don't imitate a baby with pollen allergy).
Besides looking at flowers, I sometimes lie on the grass in the backyard, blowing the wind, watching the clouds and basking in the sun.
Sometimes I go to the seaside, listen to the sound of the sea and watch the waves roll.
Sometimes I go to the park to climb mountains, listen to the sound of the wind blowing leaves and watch the squirrels in the Woods.
Step 3 observe animals
Eva 5 months
Sometimes we take Eva to the pet shop, where there are all kinds of small animals. For example, we can see a small fish. We can point to a brightly colored and slightly larger fish, tell her what color it is, and train her eye-catching ability at the same time.
Look at parrots and listen to their crisp calls.
I also saw running mice and many other small animals.
This time driving to Texas, we visited a wildlife park, where we could drive ourselves to find food. These animals are very clever and will stick their heads in the window to beg for food. Eva opened her eyes and saw many large animals, and she was so happy that she couldn't keep her mouth shut (the speed in the zoo is only a few miles per hour, so you can go sightseeing like this, and you must use a safety seat when driving with your baby).
Fourth, hand-eye coordination class
1, blow bubbles
Eva 5 months
When Eva began to grasp things consciously, it showed that she had certain hand-eye coordination ability, so I began to try to play bubble blowing with her. Whether it's catching bubbles or catching other toys, Eva at this stage can't catch things accurately at once.
When she can't catch it, she won't worry, just try to reach out a little longer and stagger to catch it. I accidentally caught a few, so happy.
V. Scope of big sports development
1, swimming
Eva 6 months
Although it's always warm here, when summer comes, I still can't stop my heart from flapping in the water. I asked my teammates to swim in an inflatable swimming pool. The day after I came back from Texas, I drank a pool of water, basked in the sun all day, heated the water, and took Eva to play with water in the afternoon.
The advantage of the inflatable swimming pool is that it is convenient, and you don't have to dig three feet to dig one out. The disadvantage is that the water is not too deep, about 60cm, and a six-month-old baby can still float in it, so we can only sit.
Everyone knows the benefits of swimming. It can exercise every muscle of the body, fully stretch limbs, soothe nerves, develop vestibule and brain, and also help the development of baby's balance ability. At the same time, close contact with water is also a very beneficial sensory game.
Intransitive verb others
1, Superman Baby (airplane hug)
Eva 2 months
Let the babies lie in their arms and hold them in a superman posture. Especially when there is a dog nearby, Superman's posture can let the baby see the dog.
Step 2 swing
Eva 5 months
Many normal babies have performances such as patting their heads and scratching their ears, which often makes parents wonder. In fact, this may be because the baby's inner ear is immature and the balance between the two ears is not harmonious. Some babies will have motion sickness such as crying, pallor and vomiting when they take the car. Step by step, let children play games such as swivel chairs and swings, which can promote the balanced development of the inner ear and improve motion sickness. This is a game that needs both mom and dad to participate. Let dad join our usual games, and the baby will naturally be very happy.
Step 3 cross-dressing games
Eva 5 months
The inspiration for playing this game comes from that every time I wash my hair, wrap it in a bath towel, and then hold Eva, she looks at me blankly as if she doesn't know who I am. My baby, who is about four months old, has begun to have some memories, so when she finds that I am no longer the usual me, she feels very strange.
Of course, not only do we cross-dress ourselves, but we can also cross-dress our baby. Put a hat on her, or tie her little clothes on her head and let her look at herself in the mirror. What a surprise!
4. World Children's Face Card
Eva 5 months
Studies have shown that from about 3-4 months, with the improvement of babies' ability to deal with * * * content, they can distinguish the faces of acquaintances from those of others, and babies begin to respond to different people with different smiles, thus producing different and selective social smiles. In all external * * *, babies like to look at people's faces best, so babies will smile at photos, statues and faces.
Because Eva will grow up in a multicultural country, I want her to get in touch with and realize that different colors and races are human faces as soon as possible. Originally, I wanted to buy a picture book of GlobalBabies. It happened that there were materials available for download on the Internet these two days, so I printed it out and showed it to her as a card:
