What should a one-year-old child be able to do?

The older your crumb becomes, the more you are interested in its development. The question of what a one-year-old child should be able to do is now particularly acute for you.

Your one-year-old kid, of course, continues to grow, although the growth rate gradually slows down. In the second year your crumb will grow no more than ten centimeters, and on the third and even less: by seven to eight centimeters. Every year your child will be strong in the eyes and will be confident, but to a stable physical and psychological state it is still far, ahead there are still many ways of development - 1 year to the child is just the beginning of a difficult journey.

Remember - the first thing a one-year-old child should be able to do is not to be capricious and cry at night, but to manifest one's character, gradually becoming a person with their attachments.

In children from one year to three years, there are three main periods of development, knowledge of these moments will help you very much in the upbringing of the growing up child.

Period one: it borders on the year and a year and a half, and is very pronounced in the independence of the child. The kid walks and talks, receiving from each of his actions a lot of all sensations. What can we say about the unknown world around him! Of course, the little one, step by step, begins to explore everything around and, accordingly, to stuff cones, which is also important.

Period two: from one and a half to two years. During this time, the child has already acquired a sufficiently large number of skills and improves them. Moreover, during this period you will very clearly see the nature of the baby, as he will show you it at every step.

Period three: from two to three years, the longest of all periods and the most important, since this is the time of the most active mental development.

After a year, your baby begins to gain knowledge intensively, he listens and remembers a lot. You can even say that the child forms his first vocabulary, so that at the right time he does not have to "moo", and you guess: what does he want? He expands his horizons and already pronounces a series of simple words, so that mom and dad better understand it. Therefore, the child needs as much as possible to deal with, talk, show him all sorts of things, generally help him to know this world. The development with which he will go through life is laid in you. You are his first teachers, teachers of life. Therefore, do not let the development of the baby in this "flexible" age on its own - nothing good will come of it. Then it can be harder!

The time has come when, waking up, a year-old child no longer wants to lie in bed, as before. Now he is a researcher, he has so much to learn, so much to see, therefore, dear parents, do not interfere with the baby. In no case do not tell him at every step a strict "impossible." The nature of the child is such that if he sees something, then he certainly wants to touch it, which means that the forbidden things should be hidden so that they do not come to his eyes. Restricting his freedom with one room or an arena is also not a good idea. Become his guide, show him everything, let him try everything, and you will be calmer, because he will constantly be under your supervision and nothing bad can happen. Although it seems sometimes that 1 year is still too little, however you will be surprised to learn how much you already know and know your little one.

Before the child begins to comprehend the world, he will be able to comprehend the art of walking. For parents, this is not an easy test, because during the training the child will fall a lot, and you, the young parents, will run to his rescue. Stop! This is mistake. In no case do not run up to your child and do not panic, let him rise, because in these very moments, and the real skill of walking is really sharpened. When a child falls, the child may hurt, but only a little, because his weight is still too small, and the flexibility of the bones is simply amazing - that's why he does not fear fractures, but he will learn to balance very quickly.

The stronger and more often bruises - the stronger science. Believe me, the kid does not for a moment forget about the insidiousness of the sharp corners of the cabinets or about the pinched fingers in the drawer of the dresser. He remembers everything perfectly and he does not want to repeat such an unpleasant experience. But do not get too big-headed, dear parents, although the bumps and bruises are a necessity, nevertheless, do not leave the child unattended near stairs, open windows or objects that can fall on him - this traumatism will not teach anything, but will only do worse.

What else should the kid, who turned a year old, be able to do? Often by the age of one and a half, the children should already eat on their own, if your baby does not hurry up in this direction, give him a spoon for acquaintance. He has already seen how you use it, and will try to imitate everything seen. When he plays enough, it's time to practice. Give the baby a little porridge, he, of course, gets dirty from head to foot, but after a few such lessons the new skill will be successfully mastered by your crumb.

A one-year-old can do many things, and wants to learn even more. The role of parents in the development of the baby during this period is the most important - after all, it is you who will show him the world in which he lives, and teach the crumb to exist in his conditions.
