Small children cause so much affection in us that we just want to spend as much time with them as possible in the game. Games with a child under one year old should be educational, interesting, not tiring and safe.
Instructions
Step 1
Newborn children perceive everything in their own way. They are mesmerized by the bright colors and rather loud crisp sounds. Play with your baby using a rattle. Catch his eye on the toy, and then slowly move it from side to side, up and down. This is how you help his eye muscles develop. If the child rolls over on his tummy, place the toy in front of him at such a distance that he can reach it. Gradually lift it from the surface a short distance so that he, observing the rattle, learns to hold the head.
Step 2
Children from three months to six months already love not only to look at the objects around them, but also to evaluate them tactilely. The best toys for them will be soft and bright textile books and albums, a special developing rug or a finger puppet theater. Show your child that by touching different parts of the rug, he can make new sounds, and in secret pockets you can find a mirror or a small surprise. If the rug is equipped with an arc, try to interest the baby in the toys located on it. Raise the arc over time, so the child learns to sit down.
Step 3
Children from six months look at you quite consciously. Your facial expressions, gestures and tone of voice come first in communication with the baby. Speak softly, and do not skimp on praise and gentle words. Children of this age love to sing and are generally quite musical. Choose songs with a simple motive and sing to the child, over time he will begin to sing along with you in his own manner. Also at this age, the child receives two very important skills - the basics of speech and walking. Show your baby various objects and pronounce their names clearly. Point to yourself and say mom or dad. Pronounce the words slowly syllables, but do not lisp, this can later result in speech therapy problems.
Step 4
Help your child to stand up by holding his hands. Take his first steps with him. To make it more interesting for him to learn to walk, put in front of him his favorite toy, or a bright object that he wants to touch. If the child is already quite confident on his feet, sit down in front of him and call him to you. In the evenings, before bedtime, sing a song or tell a story to your child. The sound of your voice will soothe your baby.
