Actually, it's not tiring to take care of children. The point of fatigue lies in the excessive consumption of physical strength. The tired point is to follow the law of children's growth and development, know how to follow the trend and reduce unnecessary confrontation.
Because I am full-time, a lot of enlightenment related to Mozi's intellectual development can be done at home, without going to an early education institution. If I have to share a trick to bring a baby, it is "Please attach great importance to children's physical exercise".
And this is exactly what many families with children can't do.
1, exercise promotes brain development
Babies can only raise their heads when they are born until they can walk, run and jump. The development of large-scale sports reflects the continuous development of the brain, because the reason why we can make an action is the result of the joint action of the brain, nerves and limbs. Even a simple movement needs quite complicated neural processing, not to mention those more delicate movements.
For example, it is not easy for newborns to put their fists in their mouths. It may take many attempts to eat his hand accurately. After adding complementary food, the baby needs to hold the food by hand and put it in his mouth. Later, he needed tools such as spoons and chopsticks. Simple eating requires a series of abilities such as hand-eye coordination, fine hand movements, swallowing and chewing, and the neural circuits involved are quite complicated.
A child with developed limbs must have a complicated mind.
2. Exercise improves children's cognition.
The development of large-scale sports broadens the scope of children's activities and allows children to be exposed to more environments. Interaction with the environment can increase children's experience, and experience will form cognition.
Make changes before and after the child can climb. Babies who can't crawl can usually only be fixed in one place or moved by adults, but this is not an active behavior. Once a baby can crawl, it seems to open the door to a new world. They can climb anywhere they want by controlling their bodies.
The range of activities is no longer limited to monotonous places such as beds and climbing mats, but extends to any room, and the magical journey of space exploration has begun. In the process of crawling, children can see, hear and touch more things, and their sensory stimulation is richer, and their cognitive ability will naturally be greatly improved.
Because the way babies know the world is through their senses.
There is a scientific basis for getting smarter as you climb.
3. Exercise can avoid sensory imbalance.
Now most parents know the concept of synaesthesia development. It turns out that a series of problems such as children's inattention, dyslexia and poor writing are all related to synaesthesia.
The reason of sensory imbalance is directly related to lack of exercise, because lack of exercise affects children's vestibular feeling, proprioception and vision, which are important soft power for children's future study.
4. Exercise can regulate mood.
In fact, we adults have a deep understanding. When we are in a bad mood, after running two laps or playing a game and sweating, those negative bad emotions will be eliminated from the body with sweat, and our mood will be much better in an instant. This is the power of sports.
After children go to school, they have to face various pressures such as study pressure and social pressure. How should children adapt to these negative emotions? Exercise is not only to keep fit, but more importantly, to let children master a healthy and positive way to solve problems, instead of hiding negative emotions in their hearts.
5. Exercise can improve children's learning efficiency.
There are two neurotransmitters that can keep the brain alert. One is norepinephrine, which can attract attention, and the other is dopamine, which can make attention sensitive and concentrated.
This is why we feel relieved after exercise, open up new ideas, and have answers to many incomprehensible questions in an instant, and we are also full of motivation at work.
For learning this brain-consuming activity, it is even more necessary to exercise to constantly fatten the brain. When the child is not doing homework, you might as well do an exercise with him to add some horsepower to your brain.
In fact, we will find that those top students are not devoted to reading, but they are also good at playing basketball, football and other sports.
It can be said that athletic ability is a child's soft power.
1. Ensure the strength of the baby's large-scale exercise at each stage.
Although a normal baby will learn to turn over, sit up, walk, run and jump sooner or later (except climbing, some babies really can't climb unless you teach them to climb), how to learn and do enough exercise in the future will bring different effects.
When two babies of the same age are put together, one exercises regularly and the other does not, it is obvious that the difference can be seen.
There is a boy about Mozi's age in our yard. The boy was brought up by his grandparents, so he doesn't exercise often. Although he can run and jump now, he is obviously not as agile as Mozi. Mozi jumped down the stairs half a meter high, but the boy didn't dare to jump down. This is the difference between regular movement and irregular movement.
Therefore, it is not enough for the baby to learn a big exercise. The next thing to do is to give him enough time and space to practice these skills.
The following is the recommended length and content of the baby's heavy exercise in each month, which parents can refer to:
According to this intensity, we can actually see that the baby can't stay in bed or push the cart often every day. If he is held in the car most of his waking hours, his activity will definitely not reach.
2. You can choose a regular sports-related training institution.
In fact, many parents will report their children to early education institutions. Early education institutions must include activities related to sports training. However, if parents do not give their children early education, I suggest that they can choose a physical training institution for their children for the following reasons:
These institutions can provide sufficient venues and equipment, and have professional teachers, so that children can exercise in a down-to-earth manner 1 hour. These exercises are different from those we take our children for a walk in the community. First, the strength is different. Secondly, many movements are targeted training, such as vestibular perception, proprioception, hand-eye coordination, crossing the midline of the body and so on. Although some activities can be done at home, can parents persist in quality and quantity day after day?
I am here to share my baby training experience. Before Mozi was 2 years old, I gave him all kinds of sports training at home, mainly crawling. I bought a lot of crawling tools at home, basically 3 or 4 days a week. After the age of 2, the space at home was obviously insufficient, and the training program was too single, so Mozi was enrolled in two sports-related courses:
In this way, I go to school every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, and ride a bike, play slides and play football in the community for four days. 1, 5, 6 and 7. I will never be idle as long as I can move. This is Mozi's weekly exercise intensity.
The cost of these two courses is not low, totaling 22,000 yuan a year. However, seeing the improvement of Mozi's sports skills, I feel it is worthwhile.
I suggest that this way of enrolling in classes should be adopted by families with old people and children. Because of the limited physical strength and energy of the elderly, it is impossible to carry out such an exercise plan. What we often see in our community is that children who have learned to walk are still sitting in the stroller when they come out for a walk. Of course, this can't be blamed on the elderly, because taking care of children's sports is really tiring. Therefore, if there are such sports training institutions around the community, parents can sign up their children as appropriate and let professional institutions solve their sports problems.
When children's sports can be fully exercised, gradually, you will find the benefits of sports. Wouldn't it be nice to be a rabbit and a virgin?
