Children will certainly try to reach out to everything that is in their field of vision. So, if your child is suffering from allergies, it's best not to show him your patties or biscuits. Six-month-old children are very fond of repeating games, and the same action can be a great delight.
What should a child be able to do in eight months?
As your youngster will constantly develop, at the age of eight months he will be able to perform the following actions:
- Dance, sing or perform other game actions
- Can independently sit, stand or walk, holding on to the back of a chair or wall
- It can be quite normal to eat solid food (boiled vegetables, soft fruits or cookies)
- Reacts and if possible answers questions, closely watches the movement of objects and shows fear with unknown actions or abrupt sounds
- If the child is asked where the item is located, he will happily point at it with his finger
- Repels boring and not interesting things for him
- Fine motor skills develop to such an extent that the child can even take some objects with a thumb and forefinger, like a tweezers
Care and Development Rules
In fact, caring for an eight-month-old baby does not differ from how you behaved with children of a different age. Similarly, you need to walk at least two hours a day, bathe every day and conduct hygienic procedures. However, it is worth considering that a toddler of this age begins to eat solid food, so the chair will be slightly different. Therefore, it is better to gradually accustom a child to a pot.
- At night, your child can often wake up, try to play or crawl somewhere. Do not worry about this. This is quite normal, just the nervous system of the little man has not yet completely strengthened and he can become too overactive during the day games, which will inevitably affect the night dream.
- The kid continues to taste the surrounding objects. So do not be discouraged if during the meal most of the products are on the floor, and not in the mouth of your son or daughter. This is perfectly normal, because in this way the kid develops and knows the world around him.
- Bathing can be done as early as a day and even use for this is not a baby bath, but the one in which you bathe. Just prepare all the toys and accessories in advance so as not to leave the baby alone in the tub, because because of his activity, he can slip and fall in the water.
- During the game, children not only build or collect things, but also love to scatter them. So they learn different functional actions and learn the properties of objects.
- It's better if you explain yourself to the kid yourself how to play with this or that subject. He will take all of your words and use new entertainment not only at his own discretion (gnawing or licking), but also playing by the rules. But when choosing a toy, you should still consider its environmental friendliness and try to avoid small details that the child can shove in the mouth or nose.
