So I heard the first cry of a newborn in your apartment. You are at home, the birth is behind, the rhythm of life is gradually improving. Now you should start developing the baby so that he does not lag behind his peers. There are many ways that a child can develop early.
Instructions
Step 1
The timing of the appearance of the first reactions to visual images and sounds varies in different children, depending on the maturity of their central nervous system, on the conditions of upbringing and state of health. As soon as you notice that the baby began to react and try to focus his gaze on any object, help him learn how to do this. Buy a rattle and ring it, only in the distance, so as not to scare the baby.
Step 2
Be sensitive to the cry of the child, communicate with him, carry him in your arms - the baby will quickly learn to follow your movements and focus on this; he will develop a need to communicate with you and he will react when you turn to him.
Step 3
Talk to your baby constantly. Explain your actions when doing something. Lead, as it were, a dialogue with each other, being responsible for the baby. Smile as often as possible, even if you are not in the mood. Children are very sensitive to the attitude towards themselves and the mood of their parents. Kids, who are always addressed with a smile, develop much earlier and become kind, optimistic people.
Step 4
Find educational toys for your child. They should be bright and colorful. It will be nice if they make melodic sounds. Hang them over the crib for your baby to watch. If you notice that the baby reacts negatively to this or that toy, remove it, as it can become a constant source of irritability.
Step 5
You can start reading books from the first month of your baby's life. It may seem to you that he is not listening to your reading, but in fact, the development of auditory receptors occurs. Subsequently, the child may even recognize some fairy tales, that is, the development of memory will also occur. Do not think that a baby under one year old is a creature that does not understand or perceive anything. Treat him like a full-fledged person, love him, and you will see that his development is happening at a rapid pace.
