What else should the kid do?
Active development will be expressed in the following actions, not typical for children of another age:
- The kid tries to copy the speech of adults and even utters many words, although in his own way
- If you joke with him, he will surely laugh
- Children of this age perfectly insert a large object into a small one or look for a hole suitable in shape to the object in their hands
- They can play with small objects, stack them in a heap or use them for their intended purpose. This also applies to large toys. The kid deliberately rolls the ball or plays with a typewriter
- At this age, children develop very sociable, so they are very interested in other children and try to play with them
- At the request of the mother can perform simple actions: lie down, sit down or take a spoon. In addition, they are very interested in dressing or undressing themselves, dancing or finding the right toys
- Communication plays a key role in development. The more you talk with the child, the faster it will reach a high degree of intellectual development. Therefore, do not just tell him about what is happening, but also conduct a dialogue.
Features of care, nutrition and games
Since the baby is interested in everything that happens around him, try to make even the most usual cases fascinating.
- Daily bathing and washing will turn into a game, telling the kid rhymes or singing songs.
- Since daytime sleep remains an important element of the daily routine, try to ensure that the child rests as best as possible during this time and no extraneous noise distracts him.
- Begin to teach the baby to order in the house. After playing with your favorite cars or balls, teach him to put them in a certain place. In fact, first you have to do it yourself, just giving the crumb the opportunity to observe your actions. Later he can be asked for help and believe, he will gladly agree to carry out these new actions for him.
- As for nutrition, the baby is usually weaned at ten months of age, but if he used to eat milk formulas, they can be saved as one or two meals. Nevertheless, most of the diet will consist of cereals, boiled vegetables, meat and fruits.
- Daytime sleep will be present necessarily. For some, it's enough to sleep in the day just once, leaving the rest of the time for games and development. Others can doze off twice. Nevertheless, the regime of the day should be designed in such a way that the child would spend on the street for at least two hours.
- While entertaining the baby, try not to leave it alone. Of course, he can play on his own in the arena, but for development it is still better to involve him in gaming with his mother. Strangely enough, even primitive cleaning can become a huge entertainment for the baby and help for the mother.
