It is very important to develop a child from birth. And the gameplay is the perfect way to draw the baby's attention to the most different aspects of life.
Modern parents strive to teach their child to read, write, and arithmetic as soon as possible. These are all very useful skills that will certainly help him in the future. And yet, do not forget about such a pleasant and no less useful activity as a game.
Play situations allow the kid to quickly adapt and socialize in new conditions for him. Well-chosen games can both entertain and teach the kid at the same time. For example, the very first play jokes such as "Magpie-white-sided" teach you how to control your body. Performing the same procedures every day, add a playful moment to your usual actions. When washing your baby, say the following joke rhyme:
Water, water, wash my face!
To make your eyes look
To make your cheeks shine
So that the tooth shines and the mouth laughs!
You will see how your child will enjoy listening to your pleasant voice, knowing his face at the same time. By focusing special attention on the eyes, nose, cheeks, you will gradually teach your baby to show these body parts on his own.
You can use similar jokes every time you invite your child to eat. Everyone knows the phrases: "Eat a spoon for mom, eat a spoon for dad …". These sayings will help you draw your baby's attention directly to the spoonful of food.
Children are so arranged that the performance of any (even the most important in your opinion) action, first of all, should interest them. The game will certainly help you with this, especially at that stage of the baby's development, when he is not yet talking. Indeed, at this time it is very difficult to understand the child, and even more so to "agree".
Make sure that all the games you offer your baby are age-appropriate. If peers have already mastered the skills of playing with the pyramid, and your kid stubbornly ignores this subject, do not insist. Take the toy away for a while and suggest an alternative. Your child may prefer soft cubes to the pyramid at this stage of development.
If your kid is restless, active, offer him outdoor games. The game of catch-up will allow you to direct the baby's energy in the right direction, raise the general mood and give a good physical load to the child's body. If your little one is just learning to crawl, then this will be an excellent exercise for the forming muscles. In addition, during the game, the baby develops coordination of movements, and active mental activity occurs.
The importance of play in the development of a child is great. This can be seen from even the simplest examples described just above. Further, when your child grows up, do not miss the opportunity to play story games with him. For this, "mothers and daughters", "school", "store", "hospital" and so on are perfect.
All these plots are an improvisation of real life, in which your child will definitely have to face these situations. The kid's interest in the game will only increase if you do it with him. So you can better understand your little one and give him a little more of your warmth.
