How to educate a two-year-old and seven-month-old baby

Babies are more sensitive to things at different stages, and they are most sensitive to movements between the ages of two and three. At this time, you must let your baby explore freely, do more exercise, and complete some designated tasks with the help of your family. This can help exercise his coordination. In fact, sometimes it is better to treat your child equally as an adult.

Language sensitive period (0-6 years old)

When a baby begins to look at the shape of adults' mouths when they speak and learns to speak, his language sensitivity period begins. Learning a language is a difficult task for adults, but young children can easily learn their mother tongue because they are naturally sensitive to language. Therefore, parents should talk to their children often, tell stories, or use "rhetorical questions" more often to strengthen their children's expressive ability and lay a good foundation for future interpersonal relationships. Sensitive period of order (2-4 years old): Children need an orderly environment to help them recognize things and become familiar with the environment. Once the familiar environment disappears, he will be at a loss. Young children's sensitivity to order is often manifested in their requirements for sequence and living habits. When children gradually establish internal order from the environment, their intelligence is also gradually constructed.

Sensory sensitivity period (0-6 years old): From birth, babies rely on senses such as hearing, vision, taste, and touch to familiarize themselves with the environment and understand things. Before the age of 3, children only absorb things around them; between the ages of 3 and 6, they can analyze and judge the environment. Parents can prepare a variety of toys at home that stimulate the sensory organs. In life, parents should always guide their children to use their five senses to feel the things around them. Especially when children are full of desire to explore, their needs should be met as much as possible under the premise of safety.

Sensitive period of interest in subtle things (1.5-4 years old) Adults often ignore the tiny things in their surroundings, but children can often capture the mysteries in them. Therefore, if your child becomes interested in tiny insects in the dirt or the tiny patterns on your clothes, it's a good time for you to cultivate his meticulousness and carefulness.

Motor sensitivity period (2-6 years old): Two-year-old children can already walk and are lively and active. Parents should allow their children to exercise sufficiently so that their limbs can move correctly and skillfully, and help the left and right brains develop in a balanced way. In addition to large muscle training, we should also emphasize the fine movement education of small muscles, that is, hand-eye coordination. This can not only cultivate children's good movement habits, but also promote the development of intelligence.

Sensitive period for social norms (2.5-6 years old) Children aged two and a half gradually move away from being self-centered and have a clear tendency to make friends and participate in group activities. At this time, parents should establish clear living norms and daily etiquette with their children so that they can abide by social norms and have a self-disciplined life in the future.

Sensitive period for writing (3.5-4.5 years old) Sensitive period for reading (4.5-5.5 years old) Although children’s writing and reading abilities develop late, if children receive sufficient learning during the sensitive period of language, senses, and body movements, their writing and reading abilities will arise naturally. At this time, parents can choose more reading materials for their children, create a home environment conducive to reading, and help children develop good habits of loving reading, which will benefit them throughout their lives. Culturally sensitive period (6-9 years old): Children's interest in cultural learning begins at the age of 3 and becomes strong at the age of 6-9. Parents should provide rich cultural information at this time and not waste the fertile soil of their children's thoughts.

4 key points of parenting during the sensitive period

1. Observe the emergence of sensitive periods. The sensitive period appears at different times for each child, so parents must observe their children's inner needs and personality traits objectively and carefully.

2. Create a rich learning environment. When you observe a child's sensitive period, try to provide him with an environment that meets his growth needs.

3. Encourage children to explore freely and try new things bravely. When children gain respect and trust, they will explore and try things freely in the environment.

4. Provide assistance when appropriate without interfering. When children are keen on something they are interested in, parents should let them do it on their own without intervening too much, and provide assistance and guidance when appropriate.
