Behavior and development
How does the baby develop?
Imagination too rich will easily produce images and stories of monsters, dragons, ghosts and other mysterious creatures living in the dark, so fear of darkness in children is very normal. .
The way your child learns to count begins when he knows how to count his steps. First your baby will be able to determine when it is one, and then the numbers greater than one (you won't know if your child learns 2 or 6 after that.) By the age of two, he will be able to count to two, and when he was three he knew three. However, if your baby knows how to count a lot from 1 to 10, then she must memorize it without really understanding the number that she is counting.
What do you need to do to support your baby?
To help reduce your fear, you should:
Take the story of your fear as a serious matter, never look down on or make fun of your imagination;
Don't be too rational. Mom persistently explained to you that there are no monsters living in the closet and they also do not appear at night, it will not relieve your fear. Looking at the room from your point of view, I might find that the culprit of this strange shadow is a spider web;
Try increasing indoor lighting. The clear light radiating from the hallway lights can dispel many scary monsters from your baby's imagination;
Please take care of your baby more. Fear often comes from a baby's insecurity and close hugs can ease it. It is also essential to create a happy and safe time for your baby before bed.
The best way to prepare for your child's maths in the future is to not teach your baby to count stiffly, but to put numbers into their daily life. Reading a lot of books will help children develop the ability to scan and grasp the content as well as the ability to understand the meaning of symbols in the book. Count your steps when you walk or count the number of toy bricks when you play with your children. Have your child play with puzzles of different shapes (circle, square, triangle). Identifying shapes is another form of learning to read.
Health and safety
What should mom discuss with the doctor?
A baby peeing in the middle of the night can disrupt the mother's careful preparation for a good night's sleep. Scientists still cannot clearly explain why babies often pee at night, especially boys and babies being taught to use the toilet. This could be due to the babies sleeping too deeply, the bladder is small, the nervous system is not fully developed, or even hereditary. Listen to the doctor's advice to better understand your child's situation.
Mother should know more?
If you feel your baby is developing too slow to speak, the baby's process stops suddenly or even falls backwards, notify the doctor. The specialist will test and evaluate your baby's hearing to see if your baby has a medical problem such as hearing loss and make a plan to treat your baby.
Mother's concern
What are the things you need to care about?
Occasionally your baby will have a mild fever. If that happens, check to see if it is due to the baby's molars or not because they usually grow around the time between 20 and 33 months of the baby. For some children, it takes 3 years for their molars to change. The teething can be extremely painful because they are large in size and cause your baby to wake up and cry in the middle of the night.
