Feast of Senses
Many parents say that when they see the bath, their little bathers begin to rejoice even before they get the first drop of water. By the way, the pleasure that both adults and the youngest receive from water procedures, psychologists directly associate with the memories of our body about the amniotic fluid.
Let's talk?
The desire to communicate appears in the child much earlier than he begins to speak. And the first smiles he answers to what is happening around. It is known that during sleep on the lips of newborns there often appears an "angelic smile". And although this facial expression is due to purely physiological reasons, mothers are always perceived as a sincere manifestation of happiness. But these first, almost unconscious smiles do not go to any comparison with the active laughter, which a little later rejoices us for a few weeks the grown-up child. This laughter is not only a grandiose gift for those to whom it is addressed, but also an excellent stimulator for the development of the baby. Laughter is born from laughter. Fun is always needed. The child as a sponge absorbs our emotions: the way he will laugh (and whether at all), very much depends on the state of the mother - calm or anxious. Children's laughter is born out of the need to communicate with loved ones, and then helps the child to join the group of his peers. Three-year-olds understand each other perfectly. This is their way of separating themselves from the world of adults. Their common laughter is a sign of belonging to a group of peers, the first way out of the triangle is "Dad, Mom, I".
The birth of humor
With a sense of pleasure from violation of prohibitions, children get acquainted quite early, even before they go to kindergarten. So, the prankster, who at one-year age growls at all voices to cheer others around, in two years will dial soapy water from a bath in his mouth to sprinkle his brother, at five he will invent funny but not "politically correct" words, and in a year he will laughing, finding in the cloud a similarity, say, with elephant booty. And it is not by chance that "silly" jokes about the "pi-pi" and "ka-ka" appear in children's conversations exactly after the last diapers were thrown out and the panties stopped getting dirty. All these giggles clearly say: "We are already adults and are capable of laughing at the unintentional and untidy creature that was once!"
All in order!
First year:
Own body delivers to the kid a lot of pleasant sensations, causing a smile at first (at the age of about eight weeks) and laughter (three months). He is pleased with caresses, gentle tickling, pleasant sounds, familiar voices and looks ...
Second year:
At one-year-old age, the thirst for adventure is growing, as is the desire to develop new spaces. The number of pleasant impressions multiplies as the freedom of movement increases: recall the victorious laughter, which marks the first step of the baby! He enjoys everything that moves, whether it's a flying plane or a descent from a children's hill. And how nice to break your own house built of dice!
Third year:
At this stage, all the types of laughter described above merge into one. Catching up, hiding, tickling, playing a plane - it's all very cool. As speech develops, laughter goes beyond physiological sensations and becomes more "intellectual." Laughter in the company of peers often allows them to make friendships - which the kids are not yet able to do by tying up the conversation.
Fourth year and older:
Distorted words and "greasiness" have great success in the children's audience - provided that they are pronounced by the children themselves. If "bad words" are spoken by adults, the children are shocked. After all, it's nice to break only those rules that are observed by all the rest ... Beginning to feel funny in words and thoughts, children simultaneously learn to see the comic in books, cartoons.
Well, shall we play?
In a year you can amuse the child, showing him unusual behavior. Show that you are going to eat by lifting a spoon to your ear, or put a baby cap on your head or boots on your hands. Pretend to be scared, for example, a jumping ball - funny, playfully, with a changed voice, exclaiming: "Oh, I'm afraid, afraid!" Pretend you want to drink porridge from the baby's bottle. You can put apples or soft toys on the tummy of a baby and so transfer them to other rooms. Be creative: any action, unusual for a one-year-old baby, can make him laugh.
Another voice
Change your voice and speak for different toys. Show crumbs a little play with little animals, which, for example, play catch-up. Give one toy to the kid, let him try to escape it from your character, hide it and lift it up. You can change your voice during almost any game. You can try talking in a pipe (a folded newspaper) or some kind of a vessel. Suggest that the kid also hoot into the pipe.
Tickling
A win-win. It is important that the baby expects titillation even before you touch his body. He is already laughing and just falling from laughing. Suggest a crumb for tickling a plush toy. Tell the baby: "Tick the leg to the bear!" - and show the leg of the bear; "Tick the teddy bear's belly!" - etc. When the child begins to tickle the bear, shake the toy, as if she is very funny, and laugh out loud. After each toy tickling lightly tickle the child the same place - delight is guaranteed.
After three years
Merry muzzle
This game forms the coordination of movements and is a speech therapy exercise, but this is not the most important of its purpose. This is a joke game, a trick play. Children quickly understand its rules and themselves demonstrate this joke to others. Lightly knock yourself on the head and at the same time stick out your tongue. Now pull yourself behind the left ear and immediately take the tongue to the left, then repeat the movement to the right. At the end of the focus, pull your neck and immediately remove the tongue. Did you think that an adult does not seriously engage in such things? You are wrong: to laugh is a very serious and important matter. You can, covering your face with your hands, each time very seriously change the expression of joy to sadness and back again. Now let him try the little ones.
It's forbidden to laugh!
Playing children (well, if you organize three or four people - it can be the child's friends, his older brothers and sisters) in turn should repeat one word "I" and do not laugh. Who of the children can not stand the ban first, must add to the word "I" some name or just his name. The rest of the children continue to repeat in turn only the "I". The next mistake is the addition of a new word. In general, do not laugh in this game is impossible! Smeshinka and falls into the mouth of each player in turn.
Game with shadows
You need to play on a sunny day. The task is to jump onto the enemy's shadow. You can try to hide your shadow in the bushes, but still try to win the first victory. After the game, you can circle the shadows with chalk. Let the child stand in a funny pose, and you try to come up with an even more fun position of the body. Dory the shadows on the asphalt eyes and noses, and most importantly - smiles!
