What training should a four-month-old baby receive?

Today's babies are the most pampered in the whole family and are the apple of their parents' eyes. In the process of raising their babies, parents will be concerned about many issues. For example, early education is an issue that most parents attach great importance to. In the matter of early education, it must be carried out in combination with the age of the child. A four-month-old baby is still relatively small, and at this time you can train the baby's following abilities.

What should I teach my baby at four months old?

A four-month-old baby is very clingy. He likes to be accompanied and played with by others. He is interested in everything around him and will be very happy as long as someone reaches out to hug him. So, what are the early education contents for a four-month-old baby?

1. Turn over (supine-prone) exercise

The baby has grown a little bit. He no longer likes to lie flat on the bed. He begins to try changing postures and understanding the world from different angles. Parents can often tease their baby in different directions to encourage the baby to turn over. Maybe at the beginning, it is difficult for the baby to pull his hands out after turning over. Parents need to provide some help and gradually train the baby to put his hands down.

2. Pull-up exercise

After exercises such as lying on the stomach, raising the head, and turning over, the baby's neck, forearms, waist and other muscles will gradually become stronger, and the baby's ability to move will become stronger and stronger. At this time, you can try to pull the baby up to sit up.

When the baby is lying on his back, parents can hold the baby's hands and let the baby use his own strength. Parents only need to use a little force to pull the baby into a sitting position. After practicing several times, the baby can automatically pull himself up by holding the parents' fingers.

3. Guide your baby to actively grasp the toy

The hands of a four-month-old baby are no longer in a clenched fist, but gradually open. Parents can put some small toys in front of the baby, or hang the toys up, and guide the baby to actively reach out and grab them, so as to promote the improvement of hand-brain coordination ability.

4. Play the "Doudoufei" game with your baby

The baby leans on his back in the mother's arms. The mother holds the baby's two hands with both hands and teaches him to put the tips of his two index fingers together and then separate them to a certain degree, saying "Doudou-fei" several times. He can also use the other four fingers to put together and then separate them to play. This game can not only exercise the baby's small muscles, but also exercise the baby's hand-eye coordination ability and speech-motor coordination ability.

5. Train your baby to focus

The visual and auditory senses of a four-month-old baby are relatively flexible, and they begin to be selective about external stimuli. At this time, parents can put some toys in front of the baby, hold the baby and watch them, and change the toys frequently to train the baby to concentrate and choose the toys he likes to watch.

6. Encourage your baby to make sounds

A four-month-old baby may make some consonant sounds, such as b, p, m, etc. Parents should communicate with their babies more often, imitate their pronunciations, and encourage them to speak. This will stimulate the brain development well and prepare the baby for future speaking.

7. Stop playing facial expression games with your baby

A four-month-old baby already has rich expressions. When playing with the baby, parents should consciously make different facial expressions for him, such as smile, anger, etc., to train the baby to distinguish different facial expressions and enable him to gradually learn to respond differently to different expressions.
