Parenting Tips

Feeding should be arranged reasonably after weaning, and efforts should be made to train the child to adapt to new food. Gradually increase solid food and supply various nutrients according to the needs of growth and development. Pay attention to cooking the food in a fine and orderly manner to facilitate digestion and absorption.

Nursing develops a reasonable life system for children, so that their lives are regular, and they develop the habit of sleeping, eating, and defecating on time, which can reduce the occurrence of diseases and ensure good health.

Children at this age can use a walker when learning to walk, but walkers have protection on all sides, and children can easily become dependent on them. You can let them hold on to furniture or other support objects first to practice moving their feet alone. Or you can fold a large square towel into a wide band and tie it under the baby's armpits, and have an adult lead the baby as he walks behind him.

To cultivate habits, parents can "teach by words and deeds" and educate their children through their own actions to curb the occurrence of bad behaviors. Or through the details of daily life and game activities, teach children to imitate adults' actions, language, and behaviors, so as to develop good habits.

Games and education can give him some toys and let him put them into a large box to exercise his hand-eye coordination ability. You can also give him a pen and a large piece of paper and let him draw. He will be very happy.

Parents can teach him to recognize and name new objects; they can also teach him to pronounce overlapping sounds and learn to address others.
