Babies' visual development can be divided into seven stages, and each stage has its own enlightenment focus. Parents should cooperate with their children's development and provide appropriate * * * so that all stages can be smoothly connected. STEP 1 fuzzy world when the baby is still in the mother's stomach, it has already had a certain sense of hearing. At birth, the sense of touch comes in handy. It's just that the visual pathway has not yet formed, and the eyes can't focus, so that the outside world is like a blurred picture for the newborn baby. We need to wait for the day after tomorrow's training, establish a good visual pathway, cooperate with the development of muscles and other aspects, and start the upward improvement of visual function. STEP2 distinguishes between light and dark, black and white, and the baby whose outline is less than l months. Although it is still vague, I can already feel whether there is light in the space, and I have the action of turning my head to look at the light source. After an average of 1.5 ~ 2.5 months, he will obviously react to patterns or objects with strong black-and-white contrast and high brightness, and can feel the dark areas of light sources and backlights in his environment, but he can't clearly distinguish the boundaries; What he saw was only a rough outline. The third step is to determine the internal details and colors. Six months ago, the baby felt more and more strongly about the shape and color of the goods. Parents can show their preference for certain colors and brightness and perceive the progress of their visual function. Although children don't know what red and black are, they can know more clearly that these colors are different, so if children react well to colors, parents might as well play color games with them more. As for what color is the best? According to the research, it is pointed out that of the four basic colors, red, yellow, blue and green, toys with strong contrast between black and white can attract children's attention most, while pink, pink and natural colors are not enough to distinguish, which is not suitable for the early stage of visual enlightenment. Children aged 6 or 7 months can see other people's facial features more and more clearly, unlike before, when they could only feel vague outlines. Therefore, parents should increase the opportunities to interact with their children and provide visual opportunities! STEP4 Depth perception gradually improves depth perception, which is called stereoscopic perception. In the early stage of visual development, children's eyes are all flat images, and then slowly develop three-dimensional images such as distance, left and right, height and so on. When does stereoscopic perception sprout? Every child's situation is different, but it takes shape after the age of L on average. People can see things because they use the sensory receptors of the eyes to absorb light sources, focus them on the visual center, and then present images. The establishment of three-dimensional concept means that the eyes operate normally and more harmoniously. On the contrary, if depth perception cannot develop smoothly, it may affect children's movements, three-dimensional sense and sense of direction. And the importance cannot be underestimated! STEP5 Distinguish the similarities and differences between two similar objects 1 Children around the age of half have certain ability to distinguish the similarities and differences between common and similar objects in life, and with the increase of practice times and the improvement of various abilities, the parts that can be distinguished become more and more subtle. At first, parents can use simple pictures or two dolls with slightly different designs as props to let their children find out the differences between them and train their visual acuity. The ability of visual discrimination deeply affects children's development. For example, studying hard or dealing with trivial matters in life requires the help of discernment. Fortunately, the sensitivity of vision is not only related to the innate structure, but also related to whether it can be seen faster and more accurately. Practice the day after tomorrow is absolutely the key, and it depends on parents to take care of their children. STEP6 Understanding characters and symbols is the focus of visual enlightenment for children aged 1.5-3, but the "literacy" in this period is different from what adults think! Because before the age of 3, a child is like a camera, whether it is words or images, it is also a picture in his eyes. Literacy means seeing the difference between words and characters, but children will feel that words and symbols are not as rich as pictures! "Literacy" is not to learn to write or read early, but to stimulate his interest in writing and lay the foundation for cultivating reading habits in the future. Parents are advised to teach their children to know the ever-changing words in a more interesting way, and at the same time, to connect things around their lives and store the words naturally in their minds. However, in the word recognition game, there are two things that cannot be ignored. First, the words should be big so that children can see them clearly. Second, don't add phonetic symbols at the same time, lest children mistakenly think that phonetic symbols are also part of the text. STEP7 reading cumulative learning ability For children aged 3 to 6, the best way to visually enlighten and observe the development of children's abilities in all aspects is reading; Especially through parent-child reading, guiding children to know the words and pictures in the book is helpful to strengthen their observation, cognition and oral expression ability and enhance their feelings. Cultivate children's reading habits from an early age. As they get older, they can better understand the contents of the book and gain a lot of valuable knowledge.
