Upbringing of a child up to a year

The first year of a child's life is the most difficult, and at the same time the most responsible. In parallel with heavy sleepless nights, which are so difficult for the woman's body, it is necessary to monitor the child's health, nutrition and development. How to manage everything and not miss all the little things upbringing of a child under 1 year old? We will talk about this in our today's material.

Child upbringing in 1 year

Many young parents think that while the child is small, he does not understand anything and does not understand. This is the deepest delusion. The psychology of child upbringing up to a year should be based on observance of several important principles:

1. Both parents should be involved in the child. Often we hear that raising a baby is "not a man's business." On the one hand, the first months of life the child really needs more than his mother. But the task of the man during this period is to provide the mother with all possible assistance so that she has the opportunity to gain strength and rest. In addition, after six months, the child begins to form an idea of ​​the family. Therefore, the presence of the father is extremely important.
2. In the first year of life it is important to help the child develop properly and eat according to age. Do not help the child sit down, turn his head, or get up on his feet. This can lead to pathology, because bones and muscles are not yet strong.
3. Education of children 1 year of life should be in close contact with the mother. This contributes to his right emotional development and mental development. At the same time, try to take the child in your arms as often as possible from 4 months on, so that he has the opportunity to physically develop. It's enough just to be in his field of vision.
4. Approximately from 9-11 months the child starts to be afraid of another's people. He is more attached to the one he sees more often. Therefore, if a nanny is sitting with him, then she can become closer to him than her parents.
5. Another important principle of raising children in the first year of life is the development of memory and hearing. From the very birth with the child it is necessary to talk and use various sounds, including rattles. When the child begins to walk, do not repeat his syllables behind him. The kid may think that it is necessary to talk, and this will subsequently lead to speech defects.
6. Try not to give up breastfeeding during the first year of life. Only breast milk helps to strengthen the immunity of the child. Lure should be introduced from 6 months according to the table of allowed products.

To clearly understand how to raise a child for up to a year, we divide this process into several stages:

Up to 3 months. In the first period of education from 0 to a year it is important to form the following habits in the child: to fall asleep on the street without a pacifier, spend some time in the crib alone, show mom that it's time to change the diaper, navigate in space with sounds and vision. In addition, it is important to start every morning with hygienic care, accustoming the child to cleanliness. It is also important to change the diaper in time. The child must learn to keep the head and walk.

Up to 6 months. Time to prepare the child for future speech. Include him classical music, children's songs. Pay attention to the child's various sounds - the rustling of leaves, the singing of birds, the noise of cars. Help the child to know the world around them. Also in this period it is important to play with the baby. But only at the time when he slept and fed. Try to laugh more with the child. Together with the joy of the child from communicating with you in the psyche, the foundations of morality are laid.

Up to 9 months. The child becomes very active. Begins to crawl, sit down, and some children are already beginning to walk. The most important at this stage of child upbringing is physical activity. At this age, you can begin to accustom a child to a pot and wash your hands before eating. Very soon the child will get used to these procedures, and they will become the norm. The child should be able to show where the spout, eyes, ears, teeth. First on you, then on toys and a little later on yourself. It is also important to teach the child "right" to play: the ball and the machine you need to roll, and to move the jula you need to press the button. At the same age, you can teach the child the word "impossible." Be sure to explain why you are prohibiting this or that action.

Upbringing for up to a year. The child is actively learning to walk. Make sure that the child does not fall in the fall. Do not shout when the child falls, otherwise you will scare him, and he will stop trying to walk. It is also important to teach the child to roll a machine by itself, pick up something edible and eat, knock with a hammer on the floor, etc. Show the child different in shape, color and structure of objects. As much as possible play with it in finger games. Praise your baby when he has something to do. Form the child's kind attitude towards relatives. And remember the main thing - your child, first of all, copies his behavior from his parents.
