What are the early education methods for 6-month-old babies?

Today's parents attach great importance to their children's education and do not want their children to lose at the starting line, so when the baby is a few months old, they will do some early education work. When doing early education for the baby, parents will also have many misunderstandings, such as the education method is too early. The most common is that the education method adopted is not suitable for children of this age group. If the baby is six months old, the following early education methods can be adopted.

Early education methods for 6-month-old babies:

1. Exercise

Sitting Alone

Sitting alone is a turning point in the baby's motor development. It shows that the baby's motor development has reached a certain maturity, and the baby's range of activities and autonomy have improved to a certain extent, which helps him (her) to contact and learn more things. After the baby can sit steadily, or with only a little support, you can gradually remove external support to allow the baby to practice sitting alone. It may begin by simply sitting alone for a few moments, or leaning forward or backward while sitting alone. At this time, you can let the baby sit and play for a short time, and then gradually extend the time he (she) sits and plays until he (she) can sit and play independently and stably.

Learn to crawl

From the time the baby is able to turn over freely, he or she has the opportunity to learn to crawl. At first, he or she may sometimes play on his or her stomach, but cannot crawl forward, or when he or she first learns to crawl, he or she can only turn around and backward in place. At this time, parents can consciously teach the baby to practice crawling. Use one hand to hold some toys to entice the baby to grab them, and put the other hand on the soles of the baby's feet to give him (her) some force to help him (her) learn to crawl forward.

2. Cognition

Toys resale

After babies are able to grasp accurately and imitate knocking and shaking toys, they begin to develop activities that use both hands. The first step is to transfer objects from one hand to the other. When playing with the baby, consciously and continuously hand toys or food to one hand to train the baby to transfer objects from one hand to the other. This initial coordination of the two hands is very important. It can be used to observe early whether the baby's two hands are moving normally and consistently, and whether the two hands tend to be together.

Grasping small objects

When babies are practicing grasping, they usually come into contact with larger objects, which they can focus on at once and grasp accurately. On this basis, give the baby some small items, such as small sugar beans, millet flowers, etc. First, train the baby's attention to see if he (she) can see it at once, and then train the baby to practice grasping. At this time, the baby's finger movements are not yet well differentiated, and he or she cannot pinch accurately, but you still need to give the baby these small objects to play with so that he or she can practice grasping. Babies of this age can only rake up small objects, that is, grab handfuls of them into the palm of their hands, or pick them up with multiple fingers. After repeated exercises, babies will gradually learn to pick up small objects.

3. Language

Imitative pronunciation

With more contact with the outside world and more interactions with relatives, the baby's vocal response becomes stronger and stronger, as if he always wants to say something. At this time, it is no longer a single vowel or consonant, but a group of syllables. Parents should consciously teach him (her) the pronunciation of some syllables, such as ba-ba, ma-ma, da-da, etc. Infants can imitate these sounds clearly, but without any meaning. At this time, parents should respond and encourage their child when he or she pronounces the words, so that he or she can establish the connection between this sound and its actual meaning, laying a good foundation for him or her to consciously call dad or mom.

Language signal response

When parents repeat a word (usually a name) many times and associate it with real things, the baby will gradually understand the meaning of the word and establish a response to this signal. For example, if you call your baby's name often, he or she will become familiar with his or her name, and when you call him or her, he or she will immediately raise his or her head or turn his or her head to look. For example, often show him (her) the light, tell him (her) the word "light" and point it out to him (her). Later, when he (she) hears the signal of the word "light", he (she) will immediately look for it. This is the beginning of establishing a response to language signals.

4. Life and communication

Recognize people

After the baby has a generalized understanding of people, it gradually develops a differentiated understanding and begins to show shyness. This is the baby's progress. At this time, you should create more opportunities for your baby to interact with people, observe his or her different reactions to acquaintances and strangers, teach him or her to greet acquaintances with a smile or pronunciation, and gradually adapt to strangers. Communicate with more people in a friendly manner, gradually increase the number of people you are familiar with, and reduce the intensity of his or her shy reaction.
