What should I teach my 10-month-old baby?

Newborns need to be taught by their parents to learn how to get along with the outside world. Without their parents' guidance, they cannot complete the learning process quickly on their own, resulting in their intelligence not keeping up with other children. The earlier the early education starts, the better. It can usually be done through music during the pregnancy stage. After the baby is born, it is even more important to ensure the harmony of the surrounding environment. So, what should be taught to a ten-month-old baby?

Your baby can now basically understand what you say. If you consciously teach your baby to use simple gestures to express some behaviors, such as eating, taking, hugging, saying goodbye, etc. when communicating with him, your baby will gradually master and use them to communicate with you. This will effectively reduce your baby's irritability. Some babies can now finally call dad and mom purposefully. You can also start cultivating your baby's reading habits.

2. Fine motor skills

Developing from pinching the thumb and several other fingers to pinching the thumb and index finger is an improvement in the baby's fine motor skills. If your baby is interested, give him more opportunities to grasp and pinch, such as picking beans under the supervision of an adult, or sorting toys, which are all good exercises.

What the baby loves most now is imitation. No matter what you do, he wants to try it. So, if you want your baby to do something, you should participate first. On the premise of safety, you can also let your baby participate in what you usually do, such as eating with a spoon or feeding you, kneading dough, etc., which can exercise his hands-on ability.

4. Cognitive ability

Babies at this stage like to play with objects, and will observe things that interest them for a long time. They know the names of common objects and can point them out. Parents can read books with their children and encourage their babies to turn the pages by themselves; they can show their babies some simple and colorful books; they can also give them some simple cognitive pictures and repeatedly point out the names of objects or animals and plants in the pictures.

At home, the baby can crawl freely to anywhere she wants to go, and if there is furniture to support her, she can even walk a few steps with the help of furniture. The coordination between her thumb and index finger is now well developed, and she can bring things in and out on command. Parents can often encourage their babies to crawl and learn various crawling techniques; practice walking with the help of railings or walls.

6. Independent ability

It's time to start training your baby in some basic life skills to develop his independence. First, to help your baby develop the habit of playing alone, make sure the environment in which the baby is located is safe. You should let him play alone, but check his actions from time to time; secondly, encourage your baby to do some things independently. Give full affirmation when he completes a new movement and a new skill.
