When babies are
close to their parents, they will feel comfortable and soon become smart kids.
How
to teach 7-to-10-month-old children to be smart as
Japanese do
Sight
Open windows for your children to see the
trees waving in the wind. Let them see wind chimes, and hear funny sounds
whenever wind blows through.
Take them to the park to see many people
playing. On the way to the park, on the way home, explain and talk to your
children about what they see. Hold them in your arms and walk around, talk to them.
When babies are close to their parents, they
will feel comfortable and soon become smart kids. Let them see more mobile
toys. Shake tintinnabulum in different positions to direct their vision to
there.
Hearing
Let babies listen to soothing music.
Children do not feel the music when always hearing rock music, loud and
long-lasting sounds from song to song.
Type color tone for them to hear, and they
will remember various gamut of notes. Pay attention to their reaction before
the other strange sounds. For example, suddenly switching the radio on would
make the ability of sound distinction be more developed.
Let your children hear lullabies of many
countries in the world.
Listening
to soothing music is good for the empathy ability of babies.
Touch
Let babies hold their parents’ fingers or
hold a paper and do what they like such as tearing or crumpling.
Have your children wear bracelets, or tie
on their wrists. Put objects in their reach to train them get.
Put in their beds set of play-gym (as a
small roof hangs many toys) in order that they can do lots of hand movements
such as catching, pulling, typing, speed, pushing, circling….
Do not ban your children to suck their hands.
Sucking hand is a sign that your children step in new stage of development.
That is the ability of putting objects into their mouths. Do not ban sucking
hand; otherwise, it loses children’s confidence.
When babies are around 6 months old, you
and they should play ball together.
Let children play games such as putting
small box into large one, or closing lid of boxes.
Let
your children move satisfactorily.
Movement
Let your children crawl delightedly. Show
lots of items in front of them to encourage them to crawl; that helps their
legs move as much as possible. Let them crawl lots during crawling time. Do not
be impatient to put your children in walker soon.
Crawl is an activity that stimulates
development of tendons and control movement.
Language
The most important thing for children
during this stage is the development of language. Talk to your children much.
8-month age babies should be weaned. The reason for the children to develop
language slowly is being weaned late.
