1. Healthy and regular daily life
I recommend a practical parenting method to novice parents: E.A.S.Y- eat, exercise, sleep and give yourself some time (you). This is not a timetable, but a set of routine procedures, so that the day's life is orderly and the family life is consistent. This is important because all people, children and adults, including infants and young children, rely on predictability to live a healthy life.
2. Good family atmosphere, rich environment and parent-child interaction.
Needless to say, a good family atmosphere, what kind of parent-child interaction can parents and children under 1 year old do? According to Piaget's cognitive development theory, 0-2-year-old babies are in the period of perceptual exercise, and the appropriate early education method is mainly to stimulate the development of children's various senses (vision, hearing, touch and smell) and physical quality. Parents should first pay attention to the development of children's big movements, such as looking up, turning over, sitting and crawling, and secondly provide as rich an interactive environment as possible to promote the development of the brain. For example, take your baby to the park, play games with your baby, read picture books to your baby, and provide some tactile materials for your baby to experience. The specific method is as follows:
First, provide visual stimulation.
Parents can post some pictures around their baby's crib and change them frequently to promote their children's interest in using their eyes. When he can grasp it freely with his hands, he will pull these pictures as if he could pull out the people and scenery in them; You can also buy a brightly colored crib to improve your baby's visual stimulation. In addition, early education experts pointed out that babies are most concerned about faces. Mom and dad might as well cut the paper into figures and draw the general features of the face, so that the baby will stare at these patterns for a long time. In addition, don't always let the baby stay in the crib, take the baby out for a walk, so as to broaden his horizons, give him more opportunities to contact the people around him and promote his psychological, physical, interpersonal and emotional development.
Second, provide auditory stimulation.
Mom and dad had better talk to the baby and hum songs often. Maybe you remember the lullaby your mother hummed when you were a child. If you are interested, you might as well record these soft and quiet songs, so that you can often hum at will when you take care of your children. The change of voice, intonation and rhythm is a wonderful way to transfer the restless baby, and at the same time, you can write down some popular songs suitable for your baby. For example, a baby who is patting the bath water will be more lively and energetic when he hears the March. Parents can also write their own children's songs. As long as it is creative and stimulates the imagination, the baby will like it.
Third, provide passive exercises.
Parents can often change the baby's posture in bed and chair and encourage him to move his trunk, arms and legs. A baby who can control his head and neck always likes to roll around or play with his arms and legs. You can also gently pull your baby's legs and swing from side to side; Let the baby hold something tightly, and the parents will open their hands and then close them. However, these games can only last for a few minutes, and it is best to play them while changing diapers and taking a shower. Most parents like to sit on the floor with their babies and let them roll. If putting a toy on the floor can attract the baby's attention, encourage him to climb there.
Fourth, provide tactile stimulation.
The baby has a pair of dexterous little hands since childhood, and the sense of touch of both hands occupies an extremely important position in the whole sense of touch. Whether it is cold or hot, thick or painful, it is transmitted to the cerebral cortex through the skin. Different fabrics such as velvet, satin and cotton can be provided to rub the baby's arms, calves and thighs. While rubbing, tell the baby the touch of the cloth, such as "rough", "soft" and "hard". Or try to brush the baby's soles with feathers or a soft toothbrush to make him feel different, and then brush his face, fingers and other parts with feathers. You can also let your baby's hands touch water, sand, mud, gravel, peas and other things that are easy to touch in daily life, and compare their differences.
