It isn’t accidental that Japanese children
are brisk and intelligent.
Mothers always ask why Japanese children
are intelligent. You can see the way that Japanese mothers teach their children
when they are young.
1. Eyesight
To stimulate newborn babies’ eyesight,
mothers should hang sight pictures that have a lot of color near the place
babies lie.
When babies are one year old, every day,
parents should let them look at black and white checkerboard to increase
concentrating ability of babies. Green and blue aren’t colors that newborn
babies like, they like 2 basic colors: white and black. But mothers should
remember that you should only let babies look at the checkerboard in about 3
minutes. You continue doing this thing in a week, and as a result, their
concentrating ability will increase from nearly 5 seconds to 60-90 seconds.
When
babies are one year old, every day, parents should let babies look at black and
white checkerboard to increase concentrating ability of babies.
High concentrating ability will be useful
for babies’ studying in the future. So, mothers shouldn’t ignore this chance.
When babies aren’t enthusiastic with looking at black and white checkerboard,
mothers shouldn’t let them look at it for a while.
When babies are over 2 years old, mothers should
stick alphabet table near babies’ bed. Stick an alphabet table whose alphabets
are printed red, big and clear. Babies will get acquainted with alphabet when
they are born and when they grow up. They will be very excited when they see
alphabets.
Mothers should hold their babies in their
arms and come next to alphabet table once a week, 2-3 seconds for each time and
repeat. This thing makes babies struggle hands and legs when they come to
alphabet table that has remarkable colors.
2. Hearing
Mothers are advised to let babies listen to
music when they are in womb. However, the first months of life, music has big
effect. Every day, you should let babies listen to selected songs, 15-30
minutes for each time. You should let babies listen to soft songs that don’t
have loud sound.
Every
day, you should let babies listen to selected songs, 15-30 minutes for each
time.
When you let babies listen you music, you
should put them stand on mothers’ knee and let them sway from front to behind
following with rhythm of music.
You should pay attention that you should not
let babies listen to CD player in a long time because this thing can make
babies get acquainted with CD player more and they don’t have emotion with
mothers’ voice. The important thing is that mothers regularly talk with babies
since they are born. Mothers can talk with babies softly when you give babies
breast, change diaper, bath babies.
When babies are born, they can feel high
and low level of music, familiar melodies, songs, voice of their parents and
voices of other people. This ability doesn’t need to study through experience
that we used to think. Through experimental researches, children can feel a
song of their parents better than songs on CD player.
You can read poetry, sing to let babies
listen with your real voice. And you shouldn’t absolutely let babies watch TV
when they haven’t 3 years old yet.
3. Touching
From being born, children can learn many
things and memorize on their memory. Things that babies see and hear will form
clear thought in their brain.
Being breast-fed is the first lesson with
touch of babies. When we observe babies’ sucking, we can see that they seek for
breast, hold in their mouth and suck quickly. At the beginning, their nose or
chin are beaten, it’s difficult for them to find out the correct position to
put nipple in their mouth. Many mothers use hands to help babies; however, they
can gradually adjust quickly.
Mothers should willfully put nipple touch
in other positions that are different from babies’ lips and mouth such as upper
jaw, lower jaw, chin, right and left cheek. This way will help babies know how
to adjust space and feel lower and upper positions, left and right positions.
Besides nipple, mothers can use fingers,
towel or straw to scrap on upper jaw and lower jaw of babies softly. Babies
will have feeling about when they lick or bite on these things and they won’t
lick and bite these things when they lick and bite mothers’ nipple.
Babies will know the difference between the
contact of their parents. They will have tendency to reflect excitedly with
game that you touch on their toes or fingers.
4. Tasting
Use a towel that is absorbed a little of
cool water, cold water, water that has salty, sweet, sour taste,… and then let
babies to taste each of taste. This is a good way to activate their taste.
In the first 6 months, your baby will need
nutrients form mother’s milk or normal milk and next are hard foods. Because
children often like sweet taste, it’s easier if you let them begin to eat with
sweet vegetables such as carrot or potato. When babies grow older, you can let
them to contact with different taste to help them develop diversified eating
and drinking habit.
You
can let them begin to eat with sweet vegetables such as carrot…
5. Smelling
Everyone can recognize that when babies are
born, they can smell because they can feel food. You should let babies smell
scent of flowers and they will turn to the direction having that smell. If you
let babies smell different smells, their smell will be stimulated to develop
well.
