During this period, the crumb learns to fix a sight on bright objects, watches a moving toy, later tries to hold objects. To fasten these abilities, one-color (preferably red, blue or green) monochrome rattle on the thin handle is ideal, easy and safe. Rotating toys are also useful - mobile (bright, large, not multicolored, with a quiet melodic sound), which can be suspended over a baby crib. What is the basis for the development of crumbs, you will find in the article on the topic "The development of your child."
The Kid is now able to shift the toy from one hand to the other, bring it closer to itself and grab with the mouth. To develop tactile sensations, it is useful for him to get acquainted with a wide variety of materials (smooth, rough, soft, hard). Offer a crumb of toys on this principle. The closer a child approaches by the age of six months, the greater the number of properties of objects becomes available to the child's understanding. Therefore, surround it with objects of different properties and explain their features. For example, the ball rolls, the gel ball "sticks" to the ceiling, the child's hammer knocks, etc. And remember that repetition is the mother of learning. Growing up, the kid learns to turn over on his stomach, sit down, crawl. And you try, with the help of his favorite toys, to keep him aspiring for new attempts. And with the first entrenched successes complicate the task, for example, developing the ability to unfold before the barriers made of pillows.
The development of independence leads to the desire to make sounds. Researches of scientists have convincingly proved that at this age the child forms so-called "trace memory", that is, the ability to calculate the trajectory of the movement of objects on the basis of previous experience. That's why the crumb has an irresistible desire to throw everything, throw and throw. Now at the disposal of the young experimenter there must be all kinds of unbreakable objects of various properties and sizes (light handkerchiefs, heavy apples, springing balls, sonorous rattles, "unpredictable" sheets of paper). Finally, at this age it's time to buy a crumb of books with folk folklore. Funny and educational songs, nursery rhymes will tell the youngster how it's great - to wash, dress, run and dance. The first books should be hard and colorful.
When a child watches certain actions or looks at objects, the brain names the concepts. Therefore, at every opportunity, explain the child in an accessible language, as the name of this or that toy (cat - meow, dog - gav-gav, machine - bi-bi). It is already possible to stimulate the child's play activity by offering him to open, look inside, or disassemble a toy (for example, consisting of several large parts). Now it is useful to offer the child toy items, similar to the real ones - a doll stroller, dishes, a car and show him how to handle them. Now we know what are the various features of your child's development.
