When I was having lunch in the canteen yesterday, my colleague Xiao He told me a recent incident at home. There used to be a floor mirror at home. Xiao He especially likes to tease the baby in front of the mirror when coaxing the baby. She thinks the baby's expression and reaction in front of the mirror are particularly cute.

However, when I teased my baby like this two days ago, I was scolded by my mother-in-law. Old people think that looking in the mirror will have a bad effect on the baby, such as the baby will be frightened, restless at night, crying and so on. , hurriedly took the child away.

Xiao He is very confused about this. His baby really fits the title of "little follower" Is it really related to his usual love of looking in the mirror? Alarmism is still harmful, and it really needs family members to know clearly before making a judgment.

There is no scientific basis for the disadvantages of baby looking in the mirror. The origin of this statement is more from adult speculation.

Adults contact and absorb more things, which may give the mirror some exaggerated imagination. In addition, a small number of elderly people are old-fashioned, and they are somewhat worried when they look at the baby's focused and novel expression in the mirror.

In fact, even if the baby is really unstable and prone to crying when sleeping, it should not be "backed" by the mirror. In contrast, the type of baby's temperament and the environment and way of raising are the most important factors.

Scientific advice is that babies can look in the mirror, which is also a very good tool for early education. The family should break the prejudice, encourage the baby to look in the mirror, and let the little guy experience the fun and improve his ability in the exploration game.

(1) Know your five senses.

It is well known that reading picture books can bring benefits to babies. Cognitive picture books with bright colors and interesting contents are the best choice for many families for babies of low months. Taking the baby to know the five senses has become the first experience of many family early education.

In addition to traditional teaching AIDS such as books, the cognitive progress that mirrors can bring to babies should not be underestimated. Family members can stand in front of the mirror with the baby, pointing to the nose and eyes, and get to know the five senses through games and interactions. The learning effect will not disappoint.

② Ability improvement in exploration.

The baby's cognitive ability is constantly developing. At first, the baby couldn't recognize himself in the mirror.

They will be very curious about the image in the mirror, can't help touching and patting it with their hands, and will also talk to the image in the mirror with a smile and whining.

By the age of one and a half, babies can identify themselves more clearly. They will understand the image in the mirror and the real relationship between themselves and their surroundings. This seemingly simple behavior is actually an important symbol of the development and improvement of baby's cognitive ability.

③ Enhance parent-child relationship.

As scientific parenting has been deeply rooted in people's hearts, many family members have realized the advantages and significance of parent-child interactive games. A friend once talked to me about parent-child games, which means that after a tiring day with children, I really don't have the energy to carry out purposeful game education.

In fact, interactive games can be very simple, and looking in the mirror is a very good way of parent-child interaction.

It is not only interesting, but also enhances the parent-child relationship. It can also make the baby feel a loving family atmosphere and let him learn in simple daily life. There is no need for family members to give interactive games too far-reaching expectations at the beginning of his life. ...

Although it is good to take the baby to look in the mirror, there are also some precautions. In order to prevent the baby from falling or being hurt by the baby or other reasons, the family must always monitor when looking in the mirror.

When choosing products, we should also try to buy materials that are not easy to break, such as plastic mirrors, which can not only ensure safety, but also entertain and educate.
