>>Show your baby movable objects.

Benefits: These games help babies develop the following skills: visual development, hand control, hand-eye coordination, cause and effect (when I shake the rattle, it makes a sound).

How to play

(1) Tracking game.

When the baby is lying flat, hang a bell, rattle, or a small red, yellow, or blue ornament with a rope, and slowly shake the object up and down, left and right, 20-25 cm away from the baby, while calling the baby's name. When the baby focuses his eyes on the object, praise him.

Then tell your baby what it is and guide him to touch and shake it.

》》Let your baby listen to classical music

Benefits: Studies have shown that babies have a special liking for classical music. Works like Bach and Mozart can stimulate the parts of the baby's brain that are associated with mathematics and logical thinking, helping the baby concentrate and improve his speaking ability.

(3) Playing it for 5-10 minutes before going to bed every day can also help your baby develop a sense of sleep ritual and establish good sleep habits.

In addition, babies like to be sung to, and singing makes them feel comforted and important. If mothers can sing a lyrical song, lullaby or nursery rhyme to their babies every day, it will also be very helpful for improving their sense of security and self-existence.

》》Baby push-ups

Benefits: 1-2 times a day, usually 30 seconds at 4 months. This kind of training is good for strengthening the baby's arm strength, back strength, muscle coordination and breathing.

After the baby is one month old, you can put a cushion 2-3cm high on the mattress, and let the baby lie on the cushion with his chest and abdomen and below, and his face on the mattress. Because the face is lower than the shoulders and chest, the child will try to support the body with his elbows and try to lift his head.

At this time, mothers can gently stroke the baby's back from top to bottom. When the baby's back is stimulated, it will be more powerful, and the baby can usually lean back to about 30 degrees for 2-3 seconds.

》》Parent-child reading

Benefits: All mothers know the benefits of reading. The books we read to our children and the words we say to them will be converted into their own vocabulary after reaching their ears and stored in their minds like water. When the water level reaches a certain height, it will overflow.

(4) When your baby is over two months old, you can start showing him some science picture books that introduce common things to us, such as flowers, birds, insects, fish, plants, trees, cars, houses, etc.

》》Scratch the palm

Benefits: The baby's hands are very sensitive, which is one of the main channels for him to understand the world. He enjoys the feeling of being held, scratched or massaged by you, which is very helpful for his brain development, sense of security and sensitivity.

After three turns and six sittings, the baby can sit independently, which is really exciting. The little guy's hand-eye coordination and understanding and expression skills are also better, and the difficulty of the game may be slightly increased at this time [thumbs-up R].

This is definitely the most famous baby game. It is very helpful for improving babies' observation, concentration, memory, foresight, trust, understanding of the concept of "absence", and it can also make babies understand that even if some things cannot be seen, they still exist.

》》Body Games

Although he will sit up every morning and evening, if you can help him strengthen his neck and back muscles, it will help him sit and stand better in the future.

Especially horse riding games, there are many benefits. In addition to muscle training, it can also help babies improve their balance, increase strength, build trust, satisfy their desire for adventure, and understand the differences between horses and other animals. But the operation is very simple.

(1) Take me flying.

Lie head to head with your baby on the bed or floor, keep your heads 15 cm apart, and open your arms to make an airplane flying posture. Now, you look up, call your baby's name, and encourage your baby to look up and look at you.

(2) Horse riding games.

This up-and-down bouncing game is the favorite of babies of this month. Sit down, put your baby on your knees, let him face to face, hold your baby's shoulders with both hands, and bounce his legs up and down slightly, so that he can experience the joy of riding a horse.

》》“Is it” game

"No" means more than just "no", it is also the antonym of "yes". Although babies cannot speak yet, they can express themselves by nodding and shaking their heads.

Benefits: Exercise your baby's rational thinking, word memory, observation, conversation, role alternation, body language, and use of words to express.

How to play specifically?

(1) Put some toys in front of your baby, let him see you take the toys away, then hide the toys behind you and ask, "Did your mother take the building blocks away?" You nod and say "Yes." Then you put the building blocks behind you and ask him, "Can you still see the building blocks?" You shake your head and answer, "No, I can't see them."

(2) Point to the picture and ask him questions such as "Is this a cat?", "Is this a spoon?", "Is this a glove?", etc. If the answer is yes, say "yes" loudly and nod your head. Otherwise, shake your head and say "no". After repeating this several times, if the baby can give the correct answer without your guidance, don't forget to praise him. He is really amazing.

》》Clap Song

Benefits: Exercise the ability to control both hands, hand-eye coordination, attention, memory, observation, language skills, imitation and participation.

There are many such clapping songs, and I said that the three children like them best.
