From the first days of communication with your baby, you are diligently trying to understand what he wants, what he does not like, from which he becomes pleased. In a word, you are doing everything to understand your child. It is very difficult to do this, because the baby does not yet carry out any conscious actions. Everything happens at a reflex level. However, there is one way to determine what mood your little one is in. We are talking about a smile and a perky childish laughter.
Children's laughter is the best guide in the thoughts and desires of a baby. Newborn babies start smiling at mom and dad in the second month of life. Some believe that this also happens unconsciously (the forming facial muscles come into play). However, over time, you begin to understand that the child smiles at you, and he does it on purpose and from all his tiny heart. Laughter arises as a reaction to communication with the outside world.
Humor is your faithful companion. From this point on, you should learn to treat the daily chores in which your baby is involved with humor. This will allow you to unload your mind and cheer yourself up and your baby. Humor can be good helpers in emergencies. For example, if your child is spoiled and often arranges scandals for you, prohibitions and moralizing alone will not do. Use your sense of humor. Turn the scandalous situation in a different direction. If you manage to make the baby smile, be sure that he will no longer want to cry and be hysterical.
What will a child laugh at a year?
It is very important to correlate humorous games with the age of the child. So, for example, for babies a year, games related to the unusual behavior of adults are perfect. You can start talking in a different voice for your child's favorite toy, tickle your baby, hide under his favorite blanket, or put a baby cap on your head. Everything that the baby sees for the first time will cause him a perky and spontaneous laugh. Do not be afraid to fool around with your child, as you create a vivid emotional environment. In such a mood, it is easier for you to understand your child and arrange him.
What will amuse an older baby?
After a year, you can offer your child more complicated options for games. Now you can hide not in a blanket, but behind a tree on the street, and jump out of there with a happy exclamation "and I am here!" You can offer your kid a game with shadows. Each of you must jump onto the shadow of the other, while moving and removing your shadows from each other. Active actions, accompanied by laughter, will not only provide you with a charge of positive energy for the whole day, but will also teach your baby to think, reflect and calculate possible options.
There is no need to turn the baby's life into an endless fun booth. But it is also impossible to deprive him of the pleasure of laughing. The most important thing is that you yourself must be ready to laugh at your "pranks" at any moment. Only this must be done sincerely and without interference. The clear and sonorous laughter of a child is proof that the parents are doing everything right.
