(A) How to develop the baby's musical potential
Music plays a unique role in exerting the innate potential of each baby, and it is extremely important to build a healthy and confident growth, harmonious and safe environment for children. So how do you tap your baby's musical potential?
First of all, we should create a suitable music environment, help the baby to know his body through some emotional music such as touching, establish body consciousness, let the baby know the vast sound world with music with different beats and tunes and some songs expressing different emotions, and let the baby beat and twist his body with some simple percussion instruments at will with the beat of music, so as to make the body language more colorful.
Secondly, playing music games is a child's job. Music games can use rhythm, melody and other natural means to interact with the baby, so that children can live in an environment full of music and feel the charm of music, such as Orff's music class in parent-child park.
Finally, the family environment should establish an environment where babies can feel music anytime and anywhere. Baby can prepare lullabies, serenades and other soft music before going to bed, so that it can fall asleep as soon as possible and form a sleep mode. The number of times you sleep during the day can make music run through the whole sleep stage. When the baby is about to wake up, it can be replaced with some cheerful and rhythmic children's songs to let the baby return to the game environment.
How to test children's intelligence
(2) Three-year-old babies can generally test their intelligence by the following methods.
1. Self-reported name and address
First, the baby's name and address will be asked. The accompanying parents can only repeat the baby's words but can't give any hints.
The name is relatively simple, and the baby can say both the name and the nickname. Home address is more difficult. If the family doesn't tell the baby, it's hard to answer. If the baby can't answer, the mother can say it again to see if the baby will repeat it immediately.
Repetitive words
For example, I am a child and so on. The baby may not understand, so why say such strange things? Mom can remind the baby appropriately, in fact, just repeat what she said. Some babies just refuse to cooperate and move on.
count
Will take out three small building blocks and ask the baby, "How many?" The mother often says "number" to the baby, and is immediately stopped by the doctor: "Not next time." This is also a reminder. It seems that mother had better talk less. It doesn't matter whether you can count right or not. Mom shouldn't care too much about the result.
4. Tangram
Take out two semicircles, first demonstrate how to make circles, and then disassemble them for the baby to hit again. This is relatively simple. Then he took out two triangles made of soft paper and put them in a rectangle. After transposition, he turned them into a rectangle. This is more complicated, and the baby may not understand the difference between the two spellings.
Connecting words
For example, "Dad is a man, Mom is …" The baby's answer "Mom is a woman" is correct. Others are: Are you a girl or a boy? What is this ball used for? This hat is used to ...; It's bright during the day, and ...
6. Fine movements and big movements
draw pictures
Fine movements are tested by drawing pictures. Draw a circle first, and let the baby draw an identical one. Next, I drew a little man with only eyebrows and one leg to supplement the baby.
Jump together
The big move is to jump on the same foot, which requires a certain distance. Usually, bold babies will play beyond their normal ability, and timid babies may play abnormally.
(3) How to improve the baby's memory
Parents pay attention to the cultivation of baby's memory, which will make your baby more handy in future study and life. So, how to train your baby to have amazing memory? The following ten suggestions may help you!
1. Start by cultivating your baby's attention.
If you don't pay attention to the memory material, the memory will naturally disappear like a passing cloud. Therefore, in order to improve the baby's memory, training the baby's attention should be the first step in the whole training process. Don't be impatient with the inattentive baby, and don't force the baby to act according to his own wishes. You can pay attention to the baby. If the baby is interested in something, then we will take this thing as a starting point and let the baby pay attention to it as long as possible. As long as the baby can stick to it for a while at a time, parents should be gratified.
2. Enrich the baby's living environment
Only when you have a life experience can you remember it. Some babies are very young, but because they are "well informed", they can remember and tell many stories. From an early age, we should provide our baby with colorful living environment, play with colorful and lively toys, listen to music, talk to your baby more, read children's songs and poems, tell stories to your baby, take your baby to parks, zoos, shops, and play games with your baby. Will leave a deep impression on their minds and make their memories last for a long time. These impressions will cause associations when encountering new things and help the baby remember new objects.
3. Develop a regular work and rest system
Regular work and rest can effectively help the baby to establish a concept of time and prevent the baby from forming a chaotic concept of time and space in his brain. At the beginning of the implementation of the work and rest system, parents can arrange their baby's activities and say, "It's 12: 30. Time for lunch, baby. It's time to eat. " "1: 30, baby, it's time for a nap." "It's already 4 o'clock, and the baby can play with toys." Establishing a correct concept of time and space can strengthen your baby's memory invisibly.
4. Give the baby a clear memory task
For older babies, you can try to make them remember something consciously and purposefully. If you are listening to stories, going out to play, or taking a walk after dinner, you should give your baby a task of reciting. "Baby, mom has a bad memory. You should remember the way home in the future. " "Baby, where did we go for a walk yesterday? Where else does mom want to go? Baby, will you take mommy? "
Appreciate classical music
The research of brain intelligence shows that listening to beautiful classical music to your baby can not only cultivate your baby's temperament, but also enhance your baby's memory of language. This kind of training can start from listening to prenatal music at the earliest. No matter whether the baby is playing with toys, games, reading or eating, mommy can play some soft and beautiful music for the baby to enjoy consciously or unconsciously.
6. Create all kinds of interesting memory games
Games are always the baby's favorite. During the game, the baby's body and mind are in a state of excitement. At this time, maximize the enthusiasm of the baby's memory. "Mom, can we play the game we played yesterday?" The baby may get the wrong time to play the game, but he will remember the game itself. According to this characteristic of the baby, parents can create some interesting games to help the baby improve his memory.
7. Repeat appropriately to deepen the impression
The more familiar things are, the easier it is for the baby to remember. Proper repetition can help the baby to deepen the impression of the object that needs to be remembered and produce long-term memory. For example, parents want their baby to know all kinds of colors. In fact, they don't need to spend special time teaching their babies to know colors. They just need to tell their baby what color they are when they see something in their daily life: "These red flowers are so beautiful." "The baby wants to eat apples. This red apple is really delicious. " After repeated many times, the baby can remember all kinds of colors.
8. Use all kinds of interesting images to assist memory.
Match some pictures, use exaggerated movements and sounds. For example, doing actions while telling a story, or drawing a story into a cartoon, and watching pictures with your baby while telling a story, all these will help your baby remember the story better. You can also compose what you want your baby to remember into a piece of music or an interesting children's song so that the baby can remember it quickly and firmly.
9. Teach your baby some memory strategies
Consciously teaching your baby some effective memory strategies such as induction, classification, association and comparison can help your baby improve his memory. For example, if you know apples, pears and bananas, you can teach your baby the concept of fruit. If the baby can't tell the difference between a duckling and a chicken, you can guide the baby to observe the most significant difference between the duckling and the chicken-the duckling's mouth is flat and the chicken's mouth is pointed; Ducks can swim, chickens can't swim ... In short, parents can use various occasions and opportunities to instill these memory strategies into their babies.
10. Multi-sensory participation in memory
Guide the baby to participate in memory with multiple senses and improve the memory effect. If you want your baby to know the characteristics of paper, parents can let your baby put the paper on a table with water and observe how the paper absorbs water. Burn the paper on the fire and observe the burning scene of the paper; Tear by hand, listen to the sound of tearing paper, and observe the irregular cracking of paper. Through these interesting experiments, the baby will remember the main characteristics of paper.
(d) Developing toys that are indispensable for infants' intelligence
Maybe some parents will ask how to train children's memory in daily parenting. We believe that for children under 3 years old, they have little life experience, and training their memory can be cultivated by mastering the knowledge of daily life around them. Specifically involved are:
1. Colored building blocks or plastic bottles
This kind of toys need to be grasped by babies to stimulate them to make throwing, falling, grasping and other actions, and promote the cooperation ability of hands and eyes. Games that need to be stuffed into different holes according to the shape of toys can also enhance the baby's ability to solve problems.
2. Toys that can make sounds or sing and play music
Some toys play music or make interesting sounds when touched. They can cultivate the baby's skills of interacting with the environment and enhance the creativity and imagination in music.
3. Cloth toys
Toys made of different fabrics have different handfeel, which allows babies to learn all kinds of new things through touch. Moreover, cloth toys will make the baby feel comfortable with the surrounding environment and willing to explore the world around him with his hands.
4. Colored toys
Colorful toys can enhance visual ability, especially large colorful dolls or pillows, as well as some exaggerated and bright objects, which can help babies learn to distinguish different shapes and colors and stimulate their creativity.
5. Play hide-and-seek with your baby.
Some toys can jump out or "disappear" at the press of a button, which can teach your baby to understand causality, improve hand-eye coordination and enhance creative thinking ability.
6. Toys that can be disassembled, flattened or folded
Toys that can be broken into pieces and reassembled can teach babies how to solve problems and cultivate their creative thinking while exercising their hands-on ability. Toys such as building blocks and puzzles are tools to develop baby's intelligence.
(5) What kind of books do you choose for your baby?
When is the right time to pick up a story book and read it with the baby? In fact, you can start reading from the moment the baby is born, because the baby has audio-visual function at birth, but in the first half of the baby's life, most parents pay attention to the baby's eating, drinking and sleeping, and it seems that they rarely think of enjoying reading with the baby.
1. What posture do you use to read?
Hold the baby on your chest, pick up the book with both hands and put it in front of the baby.
2. how to read it?
1, point to the picture in the book and tell the baby what it is, or directly recite the words on it.
2. The tone of adults' reading doesn't have to be ups and downs. When they start reading, they can talk as usual. When babies are more responsive to reading, they will start to adjust their reading mood according to stories.
3. What are the reading taboos?
1, the baby's attention and eyes are distracted for a long time in a year, so don't force him to finish listening to a story.
2. Biting books, turning pages, slapping books and other actions are common behaviors of the baby in this period, and it is also one of the reading pleasures he has obtained. Therefore, it is not surprising and unnecessary to stop these behaviors in the face of the baby, so as not to reduce the baby's reading interest.
4. How to choose books
It is obviously unrealistic to ask babies before 1 to get specific education from reading. At this time, the purpose of reading is to make the baby and the book become friends and cultivate the baby's interest in books and reading. Therefore, for babies before 1 year old, books are small, hard, safe and easy to take and bite.
Type: Bath book, cloth book, doll book and hard-shell book are all suitable.
Content: mainly pictures, with bright colors as much as possible.
Size: It is best to have a light and short book, and let the baby turn the page by himself.
Quality: When buying non-fluorescent printed matter, it is best to be able to withstand grasping, holding, biting, gnawing, pressing and squeezing without deformation.
5. Why do babies love to chew, tear and throw books?
Whenever you want to enjoy the fun of parent-child reading, the baby will suddenly snatch the book from you, then drool and taste it, or even throw it away after eating. What happened?
Bite what you see and eat it in your mouth, which is a necessary sensory stimulation for all 1 year-old babies, so parents' attitude should be to let nature take its course, not to forbid it.
Of course, parents also need to be prepared for the problem of baby tearing books and biting books. For example, choose a toy book specially for your baby to bite (be sure to pay attention to the quality to avoid the problem of pigment or heavy metal pollution). Most of these books can be washed repeatedly. In addition, most babies of this age have the physiological phenomenon of drooling, and biting books also helps to expel germs from the mouth. But if you wash books often, you don't have to be too anxious at the health level. Also, throwing things is a good way to exercise your muscles. If the baby likes to throw books as balls, parents don't need to worry, and don't misunderstand that this is a sign that the baby doesn't like reading.
