Modern science has proven that the education of babies in the early stages of 0-3 years old is very critical, and babies over one year old are in this critical stage. So, how to educate babies over one year old early? The following is a detailed explanation from four aspects.
1. Early education of verbal intelligence
When a baby is about one year old, he begins to have some words, such as \”mom\”, \”dad\”, etc. This is an important stage for cultivating the baby\’s verbal intelligence. Parents can use the following methods to provide early childhood education:
First, read a storybook or fairy tale aloud. Reading can improve your baby\’s language understanding and language skills. During the reading process, you can guide your baby to observe the pictures together and name the items in them.
Secondly, communicate more with your baby. For example, when you see an animal or object, tell your baby its name and briefly explain its characteristics.
Finally, sing with your baby. Singing is a great way to interact and allow your baby to better understand language content. Parents should choose some simple and easy-to-learn songs for their babies, such as children\’s songs.
2. Early education of hand-brain coordination ability
Hand-brain coordination is a key aspect of baby\’s intellectual development. Therefore, parents should provide more opportunities for babies to exercise hand-brain coordination in daily life.
First, choose some age-appropriate toys for your baby for hand training. For example, small building blocks, puzzles, etc.
Secondly, letting your baby participate in simple housework activities, such as folding clothes and helping to put away toys, can exercise your baby\’s hand movement ability.
Finally, carry out early music education. Music can allow babies to exercise their hand-brain coordination while dancing and tapping rhythm.
3. Early education of social skills
Babies over one year old are in a critical period of social development, and the cultivation of their social skills requires parents\’ attention and guidance.
First, expose your baby to more people and encourage your baby to interact with other babies. In the communication between babies, parents should guide the baby to establish good communication methods, such as sharing toys, etc.
Secondly, encourage your baby to role play. Role-playing allows babies to learn how to get along with others by imitating the behaviors and emotions of different characters.
Finally, play parent-child games. Parent-child games can establish a good interactive relationship between babies and parents, and also allow parents to guide babies to learn to cooperate and share during the game.
4. Early education of gross motor ability
Gross motor ability is an important part of a baby\’s development, and parents need to provide their babies with more exercise opportunities in their daily lives.
First of all, provide your baby with a safe place for outdoor activities and let your baby get in touch with more of the natural environment.
Secondly, create some safe exercise spaces for your baby at home, such as your baby\’s room or playroom.
Finally, parents can enrich their baby\’s motor abilities through toys. For example, providing your baby with toys such as kicking, jumping or ball balls can help your baby develop their gross motor skills.
