Early education of language and crawling skills for one year and eight months old babies

A one year and eight month old baby is almost able to coordinate his body and language. This is because his language ability is constantly improving. Paying attention to guiding the baby's language expression will soon yield results. Language training is an uninterrupted process. As for crawling ability, the baby can basically stand firmly. Now is the time for him to support his body and learn to walk. This requires guidance.

1. Language skills

The baby's language ability is gradually improving, and at this time his language comprehension ability is developing much faster than his expression ability. If you usually pay attention to telling your baby the names of many familiar objects around him, he should now be able to understand the names of the objects you say and will turn around to look for them. If you pay attention to practicing his coordination with pointing movements, then next time your baby is looking for something, he might also point with his fingers at the same time. Many of your baby's abilities develop naturally, but if you understand his characteristics and give him the right exercises, his abilities may develop slightly beyond his actual age.

At this time, the baby's ability to express language is mostly limited to simple repetition of words such as "Dad, Mom", and there is no clear direction. Language learning and training is an ongoing process. You still need to give your baby more opportunities to listen and repeat, and respond promptly to your baby's possibly unclear speech, which will make him more willing to learn.

2. Learn to crawl

Crawling is an important stage in the development of a baby's gross motor skills. In the first few months, babies learn to lie on their stomachs, lift their heads, roll over, and sit up, all in preparation for crawling. During this month, some babies can already crawl forward. Next, the baby will be able to support his or her body and leave the ground. Some babies lie prone on the ground with their hands and knees supporting themselves, rocking their bodies back and forth. Don't worry, this is a necessary process for your baby. You can use games to get him to do more practice.

3. Fine motor skills

A baby's fine motor skills mainly refer to the flexibility of fingers and hand-eye coordination. An 8th-month-old baby can probably actively grab things with both hands, and can also pour things from one hand to the other. He can then clap his hands to make the things in his hands hit against each other. These abilities cannot be acquired overnight and also require a lot of practice.

One year and eight month old babies need the correct early education methods. Parents should not expect to achieve success overnight, but should take it slowly. They should practice more on how to better train the baby's language and crawling and various body movements, which can help the child grow and develop as quickly as possible. At this time, the guidance of parents is crucial.
