Parent-child reading

Some parents think that one-year-old babies cannot recognize words, cannot read books, and do not need to read books, but this is not the case. Reading is often a subtle process. Although the baby cannot read yet, it does not mean that he cannot read.

Through various exploratory actions towards books such as biting, turning over, grabbing, etc., the baby can also start his reading journey early. Reading is the basis of all learning activities. If babies can start reading early, it will help the development of brain and language skills.

If babies in the infant and toddler period are allowed to have more contact with books and develop good reading habits, it will increase the acuity of their visual senses and strengthen their limb development and brain coordination ability in the process of turning over, playing and holding books.

Tips for parent-child reading:

1. Read a book repeatedly every day

For babies a few months old, it is best to choose 12 short picture books and read them to the baby repeatedly. Read a book twice a day for a month, and then switch to another book when you finish reading it.

2. Hold your baby in your arms and read to him

Babies like to be held in their mothers' arms and play with books while listening to stories. Let the baby sit on the mother's lap, gently wrap your arms around him, and then you can read to the baby and tell him stories from the book.

3. Don’t spend too much time reading or studying

Your baby may not always be able to sit still and listen to a story for a long time. After ten minutes or so, when the baby loses interest in the book, the mother can let him play with something else.

What are the dangers that babies need to be careful of:

Your baby will gradually learn to crawl and walk, and as his range of activities expands, the factors of insecurity also increase. To reduce risk factors, parents should carefully examine the placement of items in the home. You should observe the environment from the baby's visual height and provide the baby with a safe living space. Please pay special attention to the following items:

1. Small items that are easy to be swallowed by mistake: medicines, hairpins, pins, buttons, coins, nails, etc.;

2. Objects that are easy to cause accidental injury: knives, scissors, bamboo sticks, toothpicks, awls, vases, etc.;

3. Objects that may easily cause burns: fire, heater, iron, thermos, cigarette butts, hot soup pot, etc.;

4. Items that may cause electric shock: electrical appliances, plugs, wires, etc.;

Although babies over one year old have bid farewell to the infancy, milk is still the baby's daily choice. Scientific and reasonable infant formula can ensure adequate nutrition while establishing good eating habits. Mothers should pay attention to methods to avoid baby's anorexia and picky eating. Babies generally like to drink beverages, but you need to cultivate the good habit of drinking boiled water.
