Babies can't talk or walk, and their needs can only be expressed by crying. For babies, parents are their hands and feet. Mom and dad should respond to their children's crying in time to meet their needs.
Remember, babies cry not because they lose their temper, but because they are hungry, wet, cold, uncomfortable, stimulated by the outside world, or need to sleep quietly. Be sensitive parents, meet children's needs in time, and don't let children form learned helplessness, which will lead to distrust of others and the world.
Don't stop the child from licking and biting.
Licking is the first way for children to know the world. Disinfect all kinds of toys and supplies around your child, and then let your baby have fun!
As long as the child's mouth can be touched, it must be disinfected! Don't miss the railing of the crib, the seat belt of the trolley, and all kinds of things that are easy to carry bacteria.
2-3 years old: Grasp the distance from children and respect their personal wishes.
Grasp the distance from children.
Children of this age are generally free to walk, run and jump, and are competent for simple conversations. They explore the world and others to a greater extent than they did in infancy. Keeping a proper distance is conducive to children's exploration.
It's important to keep a good distance. Not too far away, the child can see you when he looks up or turns around; Don't get too close, so as not to affect the child's independence. Appropriate companionship distance lets children know that you are always around. Once in danger, he can throw himself into your arms for the first time, so he can put his heart at rest and explore boldly and independently.
Respect the child's personal wishes.
Many parents found that children began to rebel at this time. They used to listen to everything mom and dad said, but now adults say east and children insist on west. Why is this?
In fact, children of this age are learning how to make their own decisions and achieve their goals. When a child expresses that he wants to do something, as long as it is not an act that violates moral norms or has potential safety hazards, parents let the child take the lead and accompany the child to achieve it.
Through their own actions to achieve their goals, children can see the impact of their actions on the outside world. This is an important moment to exercise children's execution and control!
4-5 years old: correctly guide children's exploration behavior
Correctly guide children's exploration behavior
Naughty behavior is often a way for children to actively explore the outside world. If parents guide and encourage them correctly, children will have more confidence in their own initiative.
For example, when children explore the piano black and white keys with immature hands and whimsical logic, parents should encourage and agree, and never stop their children from further exploration. They should put the music score in front of children and ask them to practice according to the music score. Children are likely to have feelings of resistance and unhappiness, and their creativity is also inhibited. The most important thing is that children's initiative is frustrated, which is very unfavorable for building self-confidence in the future.
Accompany children to do life experiments to prepare for abstract thinking.
Children of this age rely on thinking in images and are easily confused by the appearance of things. Parents can do more small experiments with their children to cultivate abstract thinking.
For example, the whole family first weighed the whole bunch of grapes, and then began to break them off and wash them. In a big washbasin, the scattered grapes really look a lot more. Let the child weigh the grapes again, and the total weight has not increased; Or the whole family can play inductive games together, classify different items according to their colors, attributes and materials, and use the items that children are familiar with to reflect the abstract relationship of things through tangible objects, which is easier for children to understand.
Show your ideas to your children.
Children in this period tend to be self-centered and give their ideas to others, thinking that what they see and think is exactly what others are experiencing. At this time, if children are encouraged to put themselves in their shoes simply through language, the effect may not be ideal, and parents can try to "play" their own ideas.
For example, when parents want to express that they don't like their children to eat sweets, they can tell their children what they really think through exaggerated pronunciation, intonation, expression and body language. For example, they frown at the cake, lean over to smell it, take another sip, spit out their tongues and say, "Hey, I don't like the taste of cream!" "
6- 12 years old: respect the child's personality and let the child return to nature.
Let children have a proper rest while studying to improve the memory effect.
This period is a critical period for children to learn knowledge, develop skills and gain a sense of accomplishment. Developing good study habits will make children get twice the result with half the effort and experience the joy of achievement. Parents should remind their children to preview and review when they accompany their junior children to do their homework. Pre-school preparation only takes a few minutes. The purpose is to have a preliminary impression of the new content. You can mark the difficulties and focus on attending classes.
The best review time is 5 minutes, half an hour, 12 hours, 1 day, 2 days, 4 days, 7 days, 15 days after study. Parents can remind their children to review the newly learned content quickly at these time points.
After learning confusing content, encouraging children to take a break immediately is especially effective for confusing knowledge points and skills. Psychologists have found that giving the brain a rest immediately after learning a content can improve the memory effect and reduce the interference of subsequent learning content.
Respect children's interests
Children of this age begin to gain a sense of accomplishment through hard work, thus achieving their goals. Therefore, as parents, we should respect and cultivate children's interests, let children enjoy the process of learning a skill or achieving a project goal, and gradually form confidence in their own abilities.
Let the children return to nature
Paying too much attention to classroom learning skills is not conducive to children's all-round development. Life is so colorful, don't let children ignore other aspects of life skills. Children can learn more from nature, such as learning to take care of cacti and watching squirrels eat pine nuts. Accompany children to parks, communities and travel everywhere. While keeping healthy and getting in touch with different cultures, they also learn many life skills, such as reading maps, booking hotels and dealing with emergencies.
12- 18 years old: Let children open their hearts to their parents.
Listen first, then express.
Adolescent children have many dreams and future plans, although some are still immature. When communicating with children, parents should maintain a good proper limit and not be too authoritative. Instead, we should communicate with our children on an equal footing like friends and really understand their thoughts before giving suggestions.
Even if the child's ambition sounds a little "crazy", parents should not deny the child immediately, but give some constructive suggestions. When children feel understood, recognized, supported and cared for, they will be more willing to open their hearts to their parents.
Tell your child about your personal experience and ask for a * * * voice.
Adolescent children are easily excited, and this period is also a key stage to cultivate their emotional control ability, especially the management of negative emotions.
When children have negative emotions, it is easy to deny emotions and resist communication. Parents should help children understand, admit and express their emotions. Parents can take the initiative to expose their scars to their children, describe the psychological harm caused by something, as well as the emotions and corresponding psychological activities at that time, and tell the children how to deal with these negative emotions at that time.
Then parents can sound out the child's opinion and see how he would feel if the same thing happened to him.
When parents share their personal experiences with their children equally, children are more likely to be encouraged and express their feelings.
Let children take the initiative to assume family responsibilities.
Adolescent children are preparing for society. They need to learn various roles and gradually assume various social responsibilities.
Parents can let their children take on family responsibilities, such as taking over the management of family income and expenditure for one month from their father, taking charge of saving and withdrawing income, paying various utilities, repaying loans and credit card consumption, and recording income and expenditure. Parents and children should be clear about the rights and obligations of this role, so that children can develop their understanding of different roles in practical experience and learn to look at them from different angles.
