Six months: what should a child be able to do?

Your baby is growing so fast! Do not have time to look back - and he has six months: "What should a child be able to do at this age?" - you ask. We will try to answer this question as detailed as possible.

From the middle of the year begins a very interesting period in the life of the baby and, of course, in the life of his parents, as the child begins to simply imitate you and your behavior. Naturally, he can not completely copy adults, but much of your actions: whether words or movements, he remains at a subconscious level. You will notice how your little chap will try to repeat fragments of phrases and sounds heard from you and it is very funny to copy the movements seen. At this age, children - like a sponge, absorb everything that they see and hear, so do not show the child to family scenes, abuse and scandals, because he will remember all this, and this all does not have a good effect on the fragile psyche of the child who was six months old. Give your child laughter, fun and joy of communication - this is the best way of education.

After all, since six months, what should a child be able to do? It's right, to develop, develop and develop again, while focusing on your beloved parents. Therefore, your task is to provide the child with proper care and a cozy home environment, an atmosphere of love and care - and you will immediately notice that the child will start smiling at you!

One of the most favorite activities of young parents is, of course, to watch how their angel sleeps, because in a dream the babies are growing, and therefore the child's dream is sacred. But we do not want to draw your attention to this pretty spectacle, but to the fact that some children have a mouth in their sleep. The reasons can be two: the child has caught a cold and has a spout or a child with problems with adenoids. And in the first and second cases, you should immediately apply to a pediatrician.

Approximately at the age of six months, the first teeth are cut from the toddlers, often two incisors on the lower jaw. Of course, all the children are completely different, that's why someone may have their first teeth earlier, and someone later than this time, but let the parents not worry about this issue. After all, I repeat, all children are different and the structure of their jaws is different. Someone's teeth are planted at the very edge of the gum, so they get out early, and someone - deep in the gum, and the teeth will appear later. But when the moment comes, when all the teeth seem to you, count them - they will be exactly twenty. And here the care of teeth begins immediately, the teeth of the teeth are very weak, but by the efforts of their parents they should serve the baby up to the primary classes. In this you will help a balanced diet and use of children's vitamins and calcium, regular visits to the dentist - and with milk teeth all will be fine. Constant teeth, that is, "indigenous", will start to appear in your child somewhere in the period from six to seven years.

In the baby's food, regardless of what milk or milk formula he eats, there must be a sufficient amount of phosphorus and calcium, since these elements are the most important building material for bone tissues and teeth. Also, make sure that the vitamin A, C, D, and especially D vitamins are always present in the baby's nutrition six months and older, as this vitamin helps to assimilate calcium, and, accordingly, helps to grow bones. Vitamin D is produced in sufficient quantities in human skin during sun bathing. However, in any case, do not take the baby out on the street, if the thermometer shows a temperature above 30 degrees - this is a very dangerous sun, which can burn the delicate skin of the child.

And what should a child do at such a tender age? Half a year, most children are already slowly trying to sit. And many parents immediately make a big mistake: they start the child very often and for a long time. Remember, young parents - this is not right, this you only make worse. The first timid attempts of the baby to sit down suggest that the body is just getting ready to learn how to sit, and not already knows how to do it. At this stage, the best thing is a little exercise for the spine. When you see that your baby wants to get up, offer him a finger, let him grab and try to sit down with this support. But, again, do not put the child on for a long time, at first, one minute will be enough. This should help to develop his muscles, and not to tire the spine.

Very seriously consider the formation of the psyche of the baby. If you notice that your child is restless and nervous, do not blame the weather or any other factors. First of all, you should look for the reason in yourself - maybe you allow yourself too much in the presence of the baby ?. To prevent this from happening, the child should be protected from screaming and family quarrels. Do not just invite home noisy companies or go with a child to someone on crowded holidays. After all, the child is used to the situation of his home, where he is all familiar and he is not afraid of anything, but on a visit everything is quite the opposite: noise, laughter and music irritate and frighten your crumb, he cries more often, wants to go home. The best thing is to spend an evening in the family circle, playing with the baby - and then his psyche will be strong.

In six months, the kids are much more moving and by the evening are very tired. Often at six months of age, children no longer wake up at night - fatigue makes itself felt. And besides, they ate well before bed. But it also happens that the child wakes up alone, or even several times a night. In this case, young parents, be patient do not swear, do not shout at the baby. After all, the kid just woke up, he still does not understand what is happening. Gently lay him to sleep, sing his favorite song or give a pacifier - depending on what calms your baby. Remember that, avoiding a surge of emotions on any occasion, you will help the child grow up with a strong and balanced character.
