A grown-up child can be transferred to 4 meals a day. And as for sleep, then everything is very individual. Some children still need to sleep twice a day, and someone else can not be put in bed. But a child at this age must necessarily sleep at least once a day. The duration of a night's sleep should be at least 10-11 hours.
Getting used to a pot
1 year and 3 months is the age when the child begins to walk on the pot. By this time the baby's bladder detains more and more urine. And one day, my mother notices that it's been two hours already, and the baby's panties are still dry. This is a signal that the child is ready to walk on the pot. As a rule, girls do this earlier than boys.
Now much depends on the mother. She needs to have time to put the child on the pot, and very gently and without violence. Otherwise, he may dislike him so much that he will have to forget about the pottage for a long time.
This method is designed for the fact that the baby, on time getting on the pot, will spontaneously write there. His mother will praise him, and he will be very proud of himself. He will write again - and again receive a portion of praise. Then he will understand what you can please my mother, and he will start to sit down or ask for a pot. Perhaps he will already appreciate that it is better to write there and stay dry than to walk wet.
True, this is easy to write on paper, but to implement this plan is much more difficult. Stock up with patience and endurance, because surely your treasure for a while will stubbornly walk past the pot. She will sit and sit, but will get up and do her wet work a meter from the right place. This is the typical behavior of toddlers. Scold for it is not necessary. Even if it seems to you that he does it to spite you. This is not true. Maybe for him this pot is uncomfortable or he hesitates to write in front of everyone and prefers a quieter place. Or maybe just did not grow. Do not rush it, usually in children this skill is formed by 2 years, and even later.
One word, two words
By one and a half years, children should understand the essence of a simple story in the picture, be able to answer simple questions. By the age of one to two years they perceive the meaning of whole phrases and themselves begin to build one-word sentences. In their speech, a small number of words appear, which are used to express their desires and impressions: "bi" - the machine, go, "gu" - to walk, doves, etc. At the same time to clarify the meaning of children use gestures and intonation. By the 20th month in the child's speech there may be about 30 such root words.
Children learn to pronounce a number of stressed vowels a, o, y, and; as well as consonants m, n, b, c, d, t, c, n, x, l. The combination of consonant babies can not yet pronounce. But often repeats two identical syllables ("ha-ha", "tu-tu").
To ensure that the development of the child, or rather his speech was faster and better, you need to constantly talk with him. Now the child is able not only to feel the intonation, but also to understand the meaning of phrases and individual words. That's why in no case should you lisp with the child, distorting the words. This always significantly hampers the development of the basics of correctness of speech. Clearly and clearly name the objects, do not be lazy to repeat their names several times.
Even if you do not understand anything from what the kid is trying to tell you, encourage him to babble. If you understand the desire of the baby, you must certainly express it in words. When, for example, a child brings you a book, you should ask him: "Do you want to read?". If his attention is turned to the plate - "Do you want to eat?". Do not try at all costs to disassemble that abracadabra, which the kid is trying to bring to you. Tell him honestly that you do not understand anything. Let him have an incentive to improve.
Toys or teaching aids?
Many children at the age of one to two years begin to use soft toys in the game. They are not only interesting, but also useful, and can become for them real friends who guard at night his crib, his guests at the table, passengers in a car from the chairs. At this age the child needs puppets that resemble human beings, detailed, mobile, of soft plastic or cloth, with large eyes and that the clothes on the doll are not removed. Otherwise, it will quickly disappear, and some small details can harm the baby.
Children are already interested in toys depicting everyday objects, for example, a stove, an ironing board, dishes and bedding. Malchugans like to bother with large building kits and "Lego" designers for small ones. And do not forget about the crayons for drawing on asphalt, markers and finger paints, various typewriters and cubes.
The more the baby plays, the faster the child develops. The systematic use of games is of enormous benefit. Children with whom someone is engaged daily, develop faster, and this has a noticeable effect on the development of speech. True, there is a medal and the downside is overload. If the child has a lot of toys and "educators", if you are being subjected to high demands - the result can be directly opposite.
In what games that promote the development of the child from one year to two years of playing - of fundamental importance does not have, if only the kid took out of the game something useful. Let's list some fun, suitable for this age.
Creep under the rope.
Hang the rope to a height of 25-35 centimeters. To the child under her crawled, "lure" him with a toy on the other side of the rope. Repeat this exercise 4-5 times.
Hit the target.
Give the baby a small ball in his hand. Show him how to throw it into the basket, standing at a distance of 1 meter from him. Now let him try (and so 4-6 times).
Find a pair.
It is a game that develops visual memory and improves the process of memorizing colors. Try to pick up a few pairs of mittens, socks or shoes. Take one item, and put the rest aside. Stretch this thing to the kid and ask him to find another one like this: "Ay-ay-ay! All the gloves are messed up, will you help me collect them? ". If it is difficult for a crumb to do this, help. For example, pay attention to a number of features that distinguish objects - pattern, size, color, etc. Give him another item from the heap and see if he can find a pair.
Transfusion.
Put in front of the child two bowls, one of which is pre-filled with water, and leave the other empty. Show how it is fashionable with the help of an ordinary medical enema or a sponge to gently pour water from one bowl to another. Pay attention to the baby's gurgling and suction sounds, on streaming trickles and drops.
Pockets.
To a piece of blanket or a dense fabric you sew pockets of different materials: it can be an oilcloth, polyethylene or a mesh. To these unlike pockets, you can fit different types of fasteners: a button with a loop, a velcro, a zipper, a lacing, a bow, a hook. Stretch this structure along the wall or along the edge of the crib, and then show the baby how in the pocket you can poke a bunch of different small items and even toys.
Love of Order
Teach your child to order. Wash your hands, brush your teeth and collect toys. If the first two skills most mothers still remember, then scattered throughout the apartment toys many of their carapuses forgive. Like, he is still small, will grow up - learn. So you risk diluting your darling. After all, it is known that it is easier to instill in a child a skill from the very childhood. The child, of course, will be lazy and resist. But parents need to show flexibility and perseverance.
And to become an example for him and always clean up your things with him. Let it become "his business". Explain that everyone has some responsibilities, and now they will. He's already big. Usually, children are happy to be accepted for fulfilling their "adult" responsibilities. Toys clean with the baby, but not instead. And, cleaning up, explain why you are doing this. Give him specific tasks: put this box on the shelf, and put the ball in that drawer. To the baby it was easier to navigate, where everything should lie, on the boxes and boxes, paste the picture-hints. Invent an interesting game to make cleaning become desirable. And by all means make cleaning a mandatory ritual before going to bed. This not only organizes, but also hardens the child.
