What are the educational methods for 2-year-old babies?

When a baby reaches the age of 2, he or she already has obvious characteristics of his or her own, and there will be many changes both psychologically and physically. At this time, he or she will also be able to have some basic conversations, and early education should also be put on the agenda. This is also something that many parents are concerned about. However, babies are more playful by nature, and it is particularly difficult to get them to calm down and study. So, are there any educational methods for 2-year-old babies?

1. Analysis of characteristics of 2-year-old babies

When babies are around 2 years old, their physical and psychological changes are huge, which often makes people feel that 2-year-old babies are difficult to raise. So, what are the characteristics of a 2-year-old baby?

1. Rebellious psychology appears, and you have to do everything yourself

When the baby reaches the age of 2, due to the continuous growth of various abilities, he can walk, run and talk, so he often thinks: "I have grown up and can do everything by myself." So he wants to do everything by himself, but often does not do it very well, which makes parents nervous.

For example, before going out, the baby may ask to put on clothes or shoes by himself, but because of lack of skill, he wastes a lot of time and still can't put them on properly after a long time. At this time, parents will definitely be very anxious and want to lend a hand, but the baby is stubborn and wants to do it by himself. After a long time, parents may lose patience and nag a few words, and the child will cry because of grievance, and then a parent-child farce will be staged again...

When the above-mentioned situation happens again and again, the caregiver will naturally feel that the 2-year-old baby is too difficult to deal with. When he is not making trouble, he is as well-behaved as a cute little angel; but once he gets angry, he is like a "little devil", which is really unbearable to deal with.

2. Dependence & separation anxiety

The parents have just left for a while, and the baby's face is already covered with snot and tears. What's going on? Do the parents have to stay with them all the time? Parents may often have this feeling: the child resists but is seriously dependent on you, and will cry as soon as you leave.

The age of 2 is when babies develop "dependence", so at this time the baby will have "separation anxiety" towards the people closest to him (parents or primary caregivers). He sticks to his parents or caregivers like a piece of gummy candy and does not want to be separated for a moment, otherwise he will cry incessantly. Such "dependence" makes parents very worried, and even going out becomes a big problem. At this point, parents often wonder whether they should place their baby in a nursery. Some babies have weak language skills at this time and can only express their emotions by crying. Even if the parents try their best to reason with them, they will still cry and make a fuss. Therefore, they often leave their parents with the impression that "it is difficult to communicate with a 2-year-old baby."

3. Difficulty getting along with others

Even if a 2-year-old baby goes to nursery, he or she is usually a difficult character in the eyes of the teacher. Through observation, we found that 2-year-old babies are more likely to snatch toys from classmates, and occasionally bite or push others. Why is this so? In fact, this is related to the baby's psychological changes. The baby will inevitably feel a little uncomfortable when he just moves from the comfort of his home to another unfamiliar environment. He is the only baby in the home, and he will take it for granted: "Everything is mine!" When he sees something that others have, he also wants to have it. This is a characteristic of a 2-year-old baby, and it often makes parents and teachers feel very difficult.

2. How to educate a two-year-old baby

Babies around 2 years old are experiencing changes in their psychology and behavior. As intelligence and language develop, babies begin to have some ideas of their own. However, due to the lack of practical experience and ability to handle things on their own, they often exhibit behaviors that are difficult for others to understand, causing distress to their parents and increasing conflicts between parents and children.

Understanding these changes in your baby and comprehending his or her behavior is the basis for parents to get along with their baby. Here are 2 ways to help you get along better with your baby.

Method 1: Story Education

"Can a child understand what you are saying?" Many parents may question this, but never underestimate a child's ability! Talking to a child in a language he can understand usually produces good results. You might as well give it a try, use storytelling to guide your children, and try to communicate with them in a positive way, which may have unexpected results.

Method 2: Consistent Education Model

If the child has already enrolled in kindergarten, it is also necessary for parents to communicate more with the teachers at school. Parents can record their children's situation at home and then bring the record to school to discuss with the teacher, and establish an education model that is as consistent as possible between home education and school education. This will prevent the children from being at a loss. At the same time, it will be easier to grasp the children's psychology and behavior and guide them.
