During this period, babies will develop significantly in four aspects: language, intelligence, curiosity and social skills. At this time, what the baby can learn depends entirely on what you do.
During this period, children's language development will be steadily accelerated. We must give the baby a good response and encourage him to understand the language.
Respond to the baby
The baby will ask you many times a day. This is a great opportunity. After you try to determine the baby's real needs, you should respond as follows:
The first reaction: delayed satisfaction. If your baby walks into you when you are busy with work and asks for something, you can tell him to wait for a while instead of stopping his work. This can make the baby begin to understand that sometimes he can get what he wants right away, but sometimes he has to wait. Of course, you don't have to do this. If you can directly help him meet his needs, there is no need to delay.
The second reaction: you need to meet your baby's needs and respond to him with daily conversations. Use complete sentences or words instead of single words or reduplications. If your baby is satisfied with this response, he will move on to the next thing, and then you can let him go. This can effectively guide the baby's language.
This has many advantages:
1. Let the baby know that he can ask for help.
2. You can let your baby know the characteristics of others.
Let the baby know that someone attaches great importance to his interest.
4. Babies are guided by language.
5. The baby's intellectual world has expanded.
By asking for help, the baby is learning how to complete the task.
Babies can understand the limits of their abilities.
8. The baby will understand that although he is important, he is not more important than anyone, especially his parents.
Read with the baby.
Reading to babies is a good idea. At this stage, very simple stories begin to interest children. It is meaningful to accompany children to read, often tell him stories and encourage him to read. Sometimes the baby will sit quietly and turn the page, sometimes he will pick a book and climb on your lap for you to read it to him, and sometimes he will pick a book and sit down and read it. At this stage, the baby's interest in books will increase day by day.
Books can ensure your close contact with your baby, and the baby needs your close contact at this time. Enjoy this moment.
But remember: reading at this time is not to acquire knowledge, it is a happy experience for the baby, and it has nothing to do with what he has gained. So read with him as vividly as possible, but when he is interested. If you force him to read while he is playing with toys, it will only be counterproductive.
Talk to the baby
At this time, the mother must express her love for the baby. Although the baby is not good at talking, he learns vocabulary quickly. When a child is 2 years old, he will probably master most of the grammatical structures of daily language communication. In other words, when you say to your baby, "Take your shoes to your own shoe locker." When you are young, you can completely trust that the baby will follow your instructions. When you want to say goodbye to your baby because you are going out, you must tell him that you left him because you had to, and you love him very much. And your baby can totally understand what you mean. But you can't say that you will be back in a few days or a week. Because the baby doesn't know how long this time period is. His current level of language development can only understand your love and reluctance.
The baby will also talk at this stage, and you will start talking to the baby at this stage. Dialogue will make your interaction with your baby particularly interesting. At this time, it will be much easier to encourage talking children to play pretend games. So once the baby talks to you, you must respond to him promptly and effectively, which is an encouraging way to talk to him.
Thinking ability began to appear in this period. But before the age of two and a half, any ordinary parent provided the development of children's thinking ability. Children's cognition is limited, and any adult can solve the problems raised by a 2-year-old child. They may point to the cat and ask you, "What's that?" But after two and a half years old, parents with good educational background will provide their children with better information and reserves. The child is asking you, "What is that twinkle in the sky?" At that time, parents with astronomical knowledge can tell their children what is behind those shiny things. Instead of simply telling children that this is a star. This can no longer satisfy children's curiosity.
However, in terms of intelligence training, any training aimed at promoting children's early wisdom is unnecessary. If children are forced to read in order to let them know how to read early, they will only lose interest in reading, so that they will be tired of learning when they grow up. All intellectual development is based on the premise that children are interested. The development of intelligence should not be at the expense of children's curiosity and sports ability development, which is not worth the loss.
The best way to promote children's intellectual development is to provide them with a large number of learning opportunities suitable for their development level, then their intelligence will be promoted. For example, give children a beautiful bookshelf to read books, a relatively quiet reading environment, a graffiti wall sticker, and a violin to play ..... Give children more choices, let them make their own choices, and study with them on the premise that they are happy.
It is easy to satisfy the baby's curiosity at this time. You just need to do the following:
1. Ensure that children can explore freely at home to the maximum extent;
2. Make the kitchen as safe and open to children as possible;
3. prepare some special items for your child, but don't give them to him, and then give them to him when he is bored;
4. When the baby asks you to share his enthusiasm as much as possible, giving him a warm response will naturally promote his enthusiasm for learning;
How to provide him with information and help as much as possible and cultivate his interest.
For example, when your baby draws a picture on the wall that you can't understand, invite you to enjoy it. Your response is not that he stained your wallpaper, but that you should praise him and encourage him to draw a big car.
The last thing you should do at this time is to damage your baby's curiosity: 1. Reduce the time with him; 2. It often makes the baby feel bored.
The baby feels self-awareness for the first time at this stage. When the baby realized that this thing was mine, his self-awareness appeared. If you give your baby something as a joke and the baby refuses, this self-awareness begins to appear. What followed was a headache.
Babies often say, "No!" He will wish he can give orders, become stubborn and be picky about all kinds of things, including dressing and eating. He will start choosing clothes he likes and refuse to eat food he doesn't like. He will cry when he can't get what he wants to test his strength. At this time, you need discipline.
No contact with the primary caregiver.
This stage is the time when the baby is most attached to the main caregiver. If your baby does anything out of line because of disobedience at this stage, you can tell him that he must go outside or isolate you from him with a fence. He can go anywhere in the house except your room. Once you say it, no matter how the baby cries, you must resolutely carry out this agreement, so as to tell the baby that you have the ultimate authority in your relationship with him. He needs to know that no matter how much you love him, as long as you say "no", he must stop what she is doing now.
If the baby does something that gives you a headache at this stage, ask yourself, "If he is 8 years old now, will you still let him do it?" If the answer is no, you must stop his current behavior. There is a very happy reality that babies under 2 years old can behave decently, and your baby will become happier than an overindulgent child. So it is very important to establish your own authority at this stage. Never think that children will get better when they grow up. If you can't get along well with him from the beginning, how can your children allow you to challenge your power again in front of him after drifting away from you?
But this part means no compromise. Parents who teach their children well can always know their children accurately, declare their failure at an appropriate time, and let them show their strength.
Control children in a rational way
I often see children over one year old competing for other children's toys in the square and crying because they can't get them. At this time, the mother always gently picked up the child and said, "That's my brother's toy. We cannot take other people's things. " This common behavior shows that parents lack parenting knowledge.
Many parents try to control their babies by preaching and reasoning. This kind of behavior is invalid. First: children simply can't fully understand their parents' language. Second: for children over one year old, truth is a strange thing. You can only start with what your baby is interested in.
You and your family should list your children's favorite toys and favorite activities that day. It is best to change this list every day, because children's interests are always changing. If your baby misbehaves, you can restrict his use of toys or his favorite activities. This method is much more effective than preaching. But your limit can't exceed the time range that the baby understands, and it will be within half an hour. If it is too long, it will lose its meaning. The baby can't understand how long 1 hour is.
One more thing, this method is not suitable for any baby older than 14 months. Only when your baby has the ability of abstract thinking can it be more effective. If your baby knocks over the water glass, after a while you ask him deliberately, "Who did it?" ? Is that you? "If he denies it, he will even say that the doll did it. Then he has this ability of abstract thinking.
"say it"
As mentioned earlier, children's language ability developed rapidly during this period and they could speak many words. But he is also under a lot of pressure. Therefore, children usually have low tolerance for setbacks. At this time, you should encourage him to express his frustration. This will help.
2-3 years old is the period when the baby transforms like a child, and then the baby will face the society and kindergarten. If you can't make your baby realize that the world doesn't revolve around him through these methods, then he can't adapt to kindergarten life well in the future. If so, it is a kind of harm to him, and this kind of harm may be divided because of the fermentation of society. So the above content is very important.
