Thanks to cartoons, the kid can gain new knowledge and just have a good time, and parents can carve out an additional 15-20 minutes for household or personal chores while their kids watch their favorite episodes.
Instructions
Step 1
Before showing a small child the first cartoons, you should take the baby for an examination to an ophthalmologist and find out if the crumbs have vision problems. If your child has poor heredity or eye problems, your doctor will likely advise you not to watch TV or use other electronic devices such as laptops and tablets until your baby is at least 3 years old. If a child has normal vision, then at the age of 1 to 2 years, he can watch cartoons for 15-20 minutes a day, while each viewing should not exceed 7-10 minutes.
Step 2
A one-year-old child cannot yet follow the plot, so cartoons in which the actions of the characters flow from one to another throughout the entire action should be postponed for 1-2 years. For your child, cartoons are suitable, consisting of several logically complete parts, each of which lasts no more than 2-3 minutes. For example, first there may be a short song, then a fragment dedicated to the study of colors, and then a passage about numbers. The TinyLove cartoon is built on this principle. Its duration is about half an hour, which is too much for a one-year-old child. Therefore, it is recommended to show it in parts of no more than 10 minutes each.
Step 3
The first cartoons will help your child learn colors, memorize numbers and letters, understand some natural phenomena and expand their vocabulary. Even if the child has not yet begun to speak (and this is completely normal at the age of 1 year), he will remember the concepts, and after six months or a year he will begin to use them freely. Baby Einstein cartoons are suitable for the child's intellectual development. The baby can get acquainted with the world of colors and paints thanks to the cartoon "Baby Van Gogh".
Step 4
BabyTV offers cartoons suitable for watching one-year-olds. The channel's TV program contains many short educational cartoons dedicated to mastering the counting, alphabet, names of vegetables and fruits. Most of the episodes are published in English, so your kid can easily learn the first foreign words.
Step 5
Many children like Masha and the Bear, Luntik, Peppa Pig, as well as Soviet cartoons. However, at the age of one year, the child is not yet able to understand what is good and what is bad, and even the explanations of the parents will be too difficult for him to understand, so there will be no benefit from these cartoons for such young children. In addition, the rapidly changing picture, bright colors and loud music of some cartoons can overly tire both the eyes of the child and his nervous system.
