Everything you need to know about babies (QC)
Understanding the development of babies helps mothers to know how to take care of their babies properly. However, are you sure you have understood all about your baby? Find out now!
1 / Game for kids : Quick hands, quick eyes
In the period from 2 to 4 months, baby's skills of capturing with and lightly hitting objects are quite perfect. Babies will be extremely excited to see new toys hanging from above and try to stretch, raise their hands to touch these objects. Not only does it bring joy to your baby, but this is also a game to help develop the ability to coordinate movements in your baby.
- Suitable age: 2- 6 months old
- Necessary items: strings, plastic spoons, shaking or wool balls ... Note should not choose too small objects, which can cause choking for the baby if swallowed.
In addition to the spoon, you can also use a rope to hang other similar sized objects
- How to play with your baby:
First, take sturdy ropes such as fishing lines to hang the pendulum balls, wool balls or spoon ... up high. Note that the distance from the object to the baby is just enough for the baby to gently touch. Not too close to prevent the baby from taking pictures and putting them in their mouths, but not too far away so that they don't have to "try in vain". After a few minutes, mothers can change toys so that the baby does not feel bored
2 / Game for children to develop touch
Young children love the touch and feel of different materials such as fabric. This sense of discovery will help your baby's touch develop better.
Each different fabric material will give your baby its own unique feelings
- Suitable age: 0-6 months old
- Necessary items: 5-10 pieces of cloth or cloth with many different materials such as fabrics, silk, leather, feathers ...
- How to play:
Stack the prepared materials together and then draw each one out to give to your baby. The mother can let the baby wriggle, pull the way the baby wants to feel, then observe which material he seems to like more. Every time you give your baby a try, you should talk to your baby about how he or she is feeling and only use specific words to refer to each material, for example "did you find it smooth?" or “Did you feel that your hands were warmer?”… And as they get a little older, they'll be able to reach for each material on their own. Children at this age often like to put everything in their mouths, so mothers need to ensure the hygiene of the materials. Pay special attention to the size of each cloth, avoid choking or choking when playing with them.
