Speak more and listen more to improve your baby's language ability.
No matter how many words a baby can say now, speaking more and listening more is a good way to help him learn to speak.
When talking to your baby, look at his face and tell him what you are doing, looking at and thinking. In addition, it may be accompanied by rich facial expressions and movements. Although the latter has nothing to do with sound, it can help the baby understand what is said.
Need to be reminded, don't deliberately tease your baby with funny expressions. For example, obviously talking about a very happy thing, but putting on a very painful look will make the baby very confused.
Listening more means never forgetting that language is a tool for communication. If you ignore the baby's reaction and stand up alone, it is not communication. When the baby is trying and talking, you should also concentrate on looking at the baby's eyes, don't rush him, and listen to him patiently.

Choose the right educational toy for your baby.
It is not only expensive toys that can develop intelligence. Similarly, babies don't need many toys to be smart. Fewer and better toys may be more to the baby's taste. The following three educational toys are for reference:
Building blocks. It is helpful to cultivate children's sense of spatial relationship. Building tall buildings and castles will promote children's creativity. In addition, putting the building blocks in the right position is also conducive to the development of children's fine movements.
Puzzle. It is very beneficial to cultivate children's fine motor skills and is helpful to cognitive development and early math skills.
Mosaic or nested toys. Help develop brain power. In the process of playing, the baby will gradually understand that the ball can't be put into the square hole, and the big thing can't enter the small hole. Only when the angle is correct can we match complex shapes.
3.
Read aloud to the baby and create a reading mode for the baby.
Insisting on reading aloud every day, that is, reading aloud to your baby, can lay a lifelong good habit for your baby to love reading. Before the baby can read independently, reading aloud to him can promote the baby's brain development, understanding and language ability.
Choose your favorite book. It can be a new book or a childhood favorite. If you don't like a story, the baby will notice it soon. In addition, don't underestimate the baby's book. Even if there are only a few pages and only a few words per page, you need to read them to your baby first. Familiarity with stories and languages will not only make them more appealing to read, but also help you think about the questions your baby might ask in advance.

Let the baby fall in love with math
Babies may be able to count "1, 2" as early as 2 years old, and some babies can even count from 1 to 10 when they are 2 years old. However, this does not mean that he can really understand the concept of numbers. He probably learned by reciting, rather than really understanding what he said.
If you want to lay a good foundation of mathematics for your child now, you'd better let him experience the concept of numbers in his daily life and open the mathematical channel in his brain. The concept of quantity can be strengthened by counting steps when walking, counting blocks when playing with blocks, eating a few apples when eating, and listening to songs with several contents.

Integrate music into your baby's life
For such a big baby, music can not only cheer up the mood, strengthen the parent-child relationship between children, but also make the baby move. It is important to move, because exercise is a way for babies to learn and understand the world.
In addition to helping the baby to exercise, music is also good for the baby to learn the language and improve his academic performance.
When teaching your baby early music education, you should pay attention to the fact that every baby is different. Some like singing, some like dancing, and some like quietly accompanying a favorite instrument. Starting from the theory of modern music education, we should guide children to experience music as much as possible before teaching them to express music works with a certain musical instrument. The way of experience can be singing, performing or even painting.
