How to educate a five-month-old baby?
Let’s first take a look at what a five-month-old baby looks like? A five-month-old baby has entered a period of rapid growth in body and movement. The baby can already turn over, and the flexibility of his little hands has also increased. The movement ability of various parts of the baby's body has been strengthened, his strength has increased, and he is full of curiosity about his surroundings. A pair of eyes are always looking here and there, and their range of activities has also expanded. Some babies also have a recognition reaction and will hide in their mother's arms when they see unfamiliar people.
So how should we parents educate our babies based on their physical characteristics at this period? It can probably be done from the following aspects:
1. Auditory stimulation:
Five-month-old babies can show a special interest in music, and when listening to music , able to swing his limbs, looking particularly happy. At this time, the baby enters the sound sensing period. What is the sound sensing period? The sound-sensing period refers to a period when a baby starts to become very interested in the sounds around him and imitates them around half a year old (some babies may be earlier). During this period, babies like audio games very much.
① Then we parents should play more music, children's songs, etc. to our babies, and choose some more relaxed and cheerful songs to cultivate their children's musical talent.
② Play more animal sounds or nature sounds for the baby to attract the baby's auditory attention.
③ Play more audio games with your baby, such as singing nursery rhymes to your baby, telling stories, using exaggerated expressions to guide your baby to imitate.
2. Visual stimulation:
The five-month-old baby's vision has been significantly enhanced, and he can see distant objects. The baby can not only see clearly black and white things, You can also see the outlines of some things clearly. At this time, you need to provide visual stimulation to the baby to let the baby know more things.
① At this time, the mother can introduce the baby to the items in the house, the baby's toys, furniture, and food. When taking the baby out, she can show the baby flowers, grass, butterflies, birds, etc. in nature, as well as white clouds, Pedestrians, sunsets, etc. Tell the baby what this is and what that is, or let the baby touch and feel it.
② Mothers can prepare toys of various shapes for the baby: rectangular building blocks, balls, Rubik's cubes, etc., so that the baby can perceive changes in the outline. However, during this period, babies are not yet sensitive to colors, so parents should not worry.
3. Language stimulation:
When the baby is five months old, when an adult talks to the baby, the baby will respond with "babbling". Babies already have the ability to receive language when they are 5 to 6 months old. Listening is the foundation. Therefore, at this stage, parents should communicate more with the baby and talk with the baby to stimulate the baby's desire and ability to express language.
①Tease the baby to pronounce. Parents can talk and laugh to the baby, making the baby make happy "ah-ah" sounds or laughter, or guide the baby to make "um, ah" sounds. When we pronounce words, we need to speak slower, with a larger mouth shape, and to exaggerate, so that the baby can see clearly and imitate.
②Tell your baby stories and listen to children’s songs. This is the simplest and most direct way for parents and babies to communicate. The mother can hold a small doll, such as a little rabbit, and then sing "Little Rabbit Be Good" to the baby, or make up a story about the little white rabbit for the baby. This can not only exercise your baby's hearing, but also stimulate your baby's language expression.
4. The stimulation of action. Five-month-old babies can already turn over skillfully. If they are lying flat, they can easily turn to their stomachs. At this time, the baby must prepare for sitting and crawling in the future. Because the baby's mobility has increased, parents must strengthen their care of the baby to avoid accidents.
①Train your baby to sit upright. As the saying goes, "turn three times and sit six times". Your baby will be able to sit when he is six months old, so now you need to train your baby to sit upright. Place the baby on the back of the sofa, or put a quilt behind the baby for support, so that the baby can practice sitting. However, each time should not be too long to avoid stress and damage to the baby's spine and back muscles.
②Train the baby to stand upright and jump. The mother puts her hands on the baby's armpits and lets the baby stand on the mother's lap, keeping upright or jumping. This can exercise the baby's leg muscles and the baby's sense of balance.
③Train your baby to crawl. At five months, babies can't crawl yet, but some babies can already spin in circles, which means that the baby's physical development has entered a new stage. Mothers can use toys to tease the baby and let the baby start to crawl on its upper limbs and abdomen. This can exercise your baby's bone development.
5. Emotional stimulation.
Five-month-old babies can already sense their parents’ emotions and express their own emotions. When he is happy, he will dance and laugh; when he is unhappy, he will lose his temper. Therefore, parents need to face their babies in a happy mood.
① Smile at your baby more often. If the mother is happy, the baby will also sense the mother's mood and be happy.
Therefore, mothers should smile to their babies more, talk to their babies with a smile, play games, or kiss their babies. This will not only make the baby feel happy, but also feel the mother's love and enhance the baby's sense of security.
② Treat your baby’s bad emotions correctly. Although babies are small, they also have their own emotional expressions. When not satisfied, he will cry and make trouble. At this time, the mother should not lose her temper with the baby. You can attract your baby's attention through toys, games, children's songs and other ways that your baby likes. Or changing the baby's environment will alleviate the baby's crying.
Five-month-old babies are lively and active, full of curiosity about the outside world, and like to learn new things. At this time, parents need to be more patient and attentive to accompany and guide their babies so that their babies can grow up healthily and happily.
I have two babies, a son and a daughter. The older one is 8 years old and the younger one is 5 and a half years old. Your question reminds me of when my child was 5 months old. A chubby little face and a chubby body like a little meat ball. I can stare at their smiling faces as they sleep for a long time every day...
Most new mothers will be a little anxious, worrying about what they have done poorly and not taken good care of their children. In fact, there is no need to do so. Every mother is a potential superwoman! They can all raise healthy and cute babies! Believe in yourself!
Let’s take a look at the characteristics of 5-month-old babies:
1. Height and weight
At 5 months, the weight of male babies will increase to 5.5 kg to 9.2kg, height between 60cm-70cm. Baby girls weigh between 5kg and 8.4kg, and are between 59 and 69cm tall.
2. Start to recognize people
The brain and nervous system of 5-month-old babies have further developed and they can begin to distinguish people’s faces. This also shows that the baby has reached the stage of recognizing people. stage. At this stage, the baby will become particularly dependent on the mother and express nervousness and rejection when strangers visit.
Therefore, mothers should go to Bao'an for outdoor activities and have more contact with other babies, so that they can gradually eliminate this fear.
3. You can gradually add some complementary foods
Babies who are 5 months old can start to try to add complementary foods. Simply relying on milk powder and breast milk can no longer meet the baby's nutritional needs.
My two babies also started to add complementary foods around 5 months old. Complementary food can start with egg yolks, vegetable juices, fruit purees, etc.
Remember! ! ! Only add one thing at a time, only a little bit, and if there is no problem after trying it for a few days, you can increase the amount, or add another type, because we are not sure what complementary foods the baby cannot eat. If allergies occur, we can clearly determine the source. It's hard to tell if it's a mixed addition.
4. You can basically sleep the whole night.
Mommy will be very happy to see this news. Breastfeeding at night is really tiring, and I feel drunk every time I feed myself until I fall asleep. Only mothers know the hard work of a baby...
My eldest baby is quite noisy and needs to be fed 3 or 4 times a night. He goes to bed relatively late, but after half a year old, he basically wakes up two or three times. Once in the middle of the day, once at 5 or 6 o'clock in the morning is enough.
Let the baby eat enough milk before going to bed, and wake him up before eating. After eating, he can sleep longer. If your baby hums at night, you can ignore it for now. He may fall asleep again after a while. In this way, I gradually fell asleep for a long time.
5. Some babies will start to have small teeth.
Pay attention to your child's oral hygiene and rinse your mouth with water after eating milk. Some babies will have a fever when teething. Mothers don’t need to panic. Just observe them first.
Every mother is a good mother, I believe you can do it! When children are young, they look forward to growing up, but when they grow up, they miss their childhood...
The most indispensable thing in China is experts. There are also an overwhelming number of parenting experts. Many parenting experts raise their own children. A child who is a poor student can talk about special education. As a parent, it is better to study more parenting education books to avoid going astray and delaying the growth of your child.
When my son was born, I didn’t know how to educate the child, and I didn’t even realize that I should educate the child deliberately. Instead, I forced myself to accompany the child because of poor conditions. My parents are gone, and my parents-in-law are old and live in a far away place. I had just moved from the county town to the provincial capital to work. My income was not high and I couldn't afford a nanny, so I had to hold the child by myself as soon as I got off work.
I love children very much and like to chat with them non-stop. I will say whatever I see. Even though the children may not understand them at all, I still do what I say. In this way, the children will be able to speak with me. He can talk a lot since he was eight months old. He passed the kindergarten test at one year and two months old and became the youngest student in the kindergarten class.
After get off work, I hold my child and play around, and I still talk to my child non-stop. My children in kindergarten can talk and communicate with me. I will consciously take my children to watch things they have never seen before. Explain whatever you want. In the process of playing with the children, the corresponding knowledge teaching should be integrated, such as adding arithmetic when playing with building blocks and toys, and teaching reading while reading children's songs.
The child learned to read and look up the dictionary on his own in kindergarten. He can read more than a thousand words, can add and subtract within a hundred digits, and ranks first in abacus and mental arithmetic in the whole kindergarten.
The child ranked first in grade in elementary school and junior high school, entered the top 100 high schools in the country, and ranked over 500 in the province in the college entrance examination. Now he is ranked first in grade in the 985 University. With the second place result, he is a top student in other people's mouth.
A few years ago, I happened to read the book "Parental Language". This book was written by Dana Suskind, a professor of gynecology and pediatrics at the University of Chicago. It introduced in detail the children aged 0 to 3 years old. How children are educated, and this is the key to determining the formation of neuron connections in the child's brain. Whether the child can become an academic master, in fact, from the age of 0 to 3, parents' language communication determines the child's lifelong learning ability.
Later, I also saw James Heckman, the Nobel laureate in economics, talking about the optimal age for the return rate of investing in children. James Heckman also believed that investing in children between the ages of 0 and 3 has the highest return rate. Research by these academic authorities shows that family education for children from 0 to 3 years old is the key. Before my child was 3 years old, I inadvertently shaped his brain with a higher IQ, so that he could easily cope with learning.
If you want to educate your children, parents have to learn more on their own. Your child is only 5 months old. Follow the instructions in the book "Parents' Language" and read more books on parent-child education. I wish you the best. You can raise your child to be a smart academic.
Your child is five months old. Can your child sit up independently now? If not, you can provide appropriate guidance so that around six months of age, the child can slowly sit independently, which is beneficial to the baby's growth and development.
You can first practice your child’s snatch function. Mom can stretch out two of your fingers and try to let the baby catch it. After the baby grabs your fingers, you can slowly help the baby pull himself up to sit up. If the baby is still grabbing your fingers at this time, you can try to let go of one of the fingers to see if the baby can sit up. rise. Slowly, after many exercises, you can try to release both fingers, and then the baby can sit up.
During this process, remember to protect the baby. If the mother cannot handle it alone, ask the family to help. Be gentle and don’t let the baby bump. . The growth environment of babies in each family is different. Some develop early and some develop late. Therefore, it is normal for babies to be able to sit up independently around four to seven months. Also, not all methods are suitable for their babies. Mothers must be patient and adapt their own exercise methods to their babies.
During this period, the mother should guide the baby appropriately and exercise it. But the time should not be long, and do not do it frequently, so as not to damage the baby's spine. Also, at five months old, you can help your baby do some turning exercises appropriately. For example, if the mother hides on the other side of the baby and calls the baby, the baby will try to turn over when hearing the mother's voice. If it is still difficult to turn over, the mother can use the palm of her hand to gently support the baby's back to help turn over. After more exercise, the baby will be able to turn over.
In terms of enlightenment education, you can also sing some children's songs to your baby appropriately. You can try to attract some toys so that the child can grab them. Mothers who have the conditions can prepare more toys of different colors and types, let their babies see and grasp them, so that their children can get appropriate training in feeling and perception.
Thanks to Secretary Wukong for the invitation. Talking about education for a 5-month-old child, it seems that the parents are very concerned about their baby's future.
It seems relatively early for a 5-month-old baby to talk about education, and it feels like the most serious thing. What is needed at this time is to give your children lots of love.
A 5-month-old baby is in the first period of infancy, which is the critical period of 0-6 months. The baby in this period is in the first period, which is the first critical period when it is separated from its mother and depends on the mother or other people for everything. Of course, if this period is well satisfied, the child will feel full of security. , so that children will have a relatively secure sense of security when they become adults. If they are always not satisfied, such children will lack a sense of security, which will bring some obstacles to the child's growth.
What a 5-month-old baby needs is for the mother to hug her baby more and touch her baby more. If possible, she can touch her baby. In this way, the mother's gentle touch and close contact with the child's body will give the child enough love.
Of course, children can listen. In addition to physical communication, verbal communication is also very important. It is very important to express your love for your children more. Children can feel.
Children who are 5 months old also begin to learn from their parents and observe with their eyes. The words and deeds of their parents are also very important.
Proper nutrition is also very important physically. Of course, psychological nutrition is also very important.
Therefore, it is also very important for parents to have a healthy mentality and a harmonious family atmosphere for their children. For babies about half a year old, the baby's vision, hearing and movement training can be carried out to guide the baby's coordination function and promote the development of the baby's adaptability. It is also an indispensable part of early education.
Gross movement training
Let the baby crawl as much as he wants
1. For infants and young children, crawling is an excellent whole-body exercise. In the process, it not only exercises the muscles of the baby's abdomen and limbs, but also promotes the growth of bones, creating a good foundation for standing and walking in the future. It also greatly promotes the development of the baby's psychological development and intellectual potential. .
2. Babies who are 5-6 months old should be able to turn over easily. You can usually exercise your baby's sitting and standing (pull to sit - lean to sit - sit alone). The method is: when the baby is in the supine position , the adult grabs the baby's two hands and lets the baby cooperate by himself. The parent only uses a little force to help pull the baby into a sitting position. This activity can be done several times a day. The parent's force gradually decreases and the baby is trained to hold the parent tightly. The fingers can actively sit up.
3. When practicing sitting, place the baby on a sofa or small chair with armrests and let him sit and play, or place him on the bed with some cotton pads behind him. When sitting, use toys above and in front of him to tease him. Fine motor ability
Purpose: Practice active grasping of hands and promote hand-eye coordination
① Handle toys
1. Prepare some small toys that are easy to grasp, such as small notebooks, small toys, small magic wands, etc., let the baby sit, first give him two small toys, one by one, let him Hold a toy in both hands, and then give it to the toy. The baby will drop one of the toys and pick up the other one. Play with it repeatedly and let him throw it away and pick it up again. Take turns training the two hands.
2. When the baby grabs and plays with shells, let the baby practice grabbing from the full hand to the thumb and index finger. At the beginning, parents can hold the baby's thumb and fingers to pinch and play with the baby. After a period of training, the baby will slowly learn to pinch small things with his index finger and thumb. Parents can also give their babies some large beans for them to pinch, but be careful not to let them stuff them into their mouths.
② Paper tearing training
Prepare paper of various textures, such as toilet paper, newspapers, etc., let the baby sit firmly on the bed, and put the paper on the baby's back In the front, the mother first tears a few pieces to show to the baby, and then tears them together with the baby, holding the baby's little hand to pick up the large pieces of paper, and letting the baby's little hands hold the paper and tear it. But there should be no hard paper, and the baby should be prevented from putting small pieces of paper inside. In the process of tearing paper, the baby's hand fine motor skills are exercised. Rich sensory stimulation
For example, let the baby listen to some cheerful music, various animal sounds, let the baby feel various sounds; take the baby outdoors to see nature, flowers, plants, trees, buildings, etc. , can enrich the baby's vision.
If you have a 5-month-old baby at home, you will know that it is so cute, smart, and adorable. It is more about discovery than education. He will use all his senses to discover the world and develop himself.
This is what experts call early education. Early education is not about teaching the baby anything, but it is about complying with the sensitive period of the baby's physiological development, stimulating the overall development of the baby's mind and senses according to his own needs, and stimulating the baby's potential.
A 5-month-old baby often stares at the mouth of an adult who is speaking and moves his tongue to imitate it. The sound is also very attractive to him. During this sensitive period, , mothers and fathers can do more of the following: 1. Play more music and classic educational stories
Music can delight the soul, and alpha wave music is recognized by the educational community as music that can effectively improve memory. Frequency, cheerful tunes are also suitable for children, you can choose from more. At the same time, educational stories allow children to plant the seeds of literary influence when their unconsciousness enters a conscious state.
Although the baby at this period does not yet have the ability to think, when wonderful music fills his whole world, it can touch his dormant nerve fibers, promote the baby's recognition of sounds, and even the tongue will become more flexible. Flexible.
Waking up to soothing music in the morning and playing classic Chinese stories at a fixed time every day will also help your baby develop a good sense of order. During this period, the baby's observation ability will become stronger and stronger. The placement of objects and the daily arrangement will form his vague perception of order. 2. Talk to your baby more face to face.
Mothers and fathers often speak slowly to their babies, including bedtime stories. On the one hand, it is to interact with the baby and express care; on the other hand, it allows the baby to fully mobilize his senses: eyes, ears, and mouth. He will imitate himself and discover the new world.
Don’t think your baby is young. Some babies can pronounce single sounds at 6 months old and complete this complex process of “seeing-listening-imitating sounds”.
The moment the baby successfully imitated it, he danced with joy. Not to mention how happy he was!
3. Look at pictures with bright colors alternately.
Bright pictures will stimulate your baby's visual development. The colors of the pictures range from black and white, to a few colors, to more varieties and shades of tones, alternating a few pictures at a time. Slowly, the baby will pay more and more attention to the light source and the differences in colors, and can distinguish red, yellow, blue and green, and distinguish the differences.
Don’t underestimate the stimulation of the five senses. In fact, it stimulates the rapid development of the baby’s brain, and then mobilizes the baby to coordinate and complete various body movements. 4. Give the baby a sense of security.
At this stage, the baby is developing a sense of security. Spending more time with the baby and hugging him can soothe his mind. At the same time, try not to change too much in the baby's environment. On the one hand, babies feel more secure in a familiar environment; on the other hand, babies have a sense of order in the placement of objects. Sudden changes may make particularly sensitive babies easily agitated.
As long as the baby's environment can fully satisfy their inner sense of security, the baby's physical and mental changes will proceed quietly. Staring at the swinging objects and people's talking mouths, he quietly stretches his body, moves his limbs, spreads his fingers, curls his toes, and sucks his tongue back and forth. The baby is in a happy mood, sensing everything new, and does not need anyone's attention. He himself was very busy.
Baby's language ability, observation ability, imitation ability and sense of order will be stimulated in it.
The baby is 5 months old, which is the time for all kinds of cuteness and amusement. He likes to have fun and explore happily. Correct guidance will cost mothers and fathers some precious time, but the baby will benefit from it throughout his life.
Hello, I am Wu Xigua. I am happy to answer your questions?
First of all: I am the same as you. My baby is currently 7 months old, 2 months older than yours. The time period is almost the same. He is still in the stage of breastfeeding and complementary food. The cognitive level of infants and young children is almost None
.
1. It is completely okay for a 5-month-old baby to roll over and pick up small toys. You can buy some silicone toys that can be held by hand or bitten by the mouth. This will help practice the mobility of the baby's hands and feet. It can also Buy a few light-up musical toys to practice your baby's hearing and vision.
2. Usually make the baby laugh, clap and interact, call the baby's name more often, or call mom and dad, so that the baby can develop certain habits
3. If the weather is good, more Take your baby for outdoor activities, go to a green park, see various animals and plants, practice your baby's vision, and increase your imagination.
Final summary: After all, the baby is only 5 months old. There is no enlightenment education or guidance. I can only talk about making the baby familiar with all these new things and environments, interacting with the baby more every day, and taking him out to see more. Looking at the world, it is more about feeding. Breastfeed as much as you can.
Regarding your question, I will give a specific answer based on my own enlightenment experience with Dabao and Erbao.
My introduction to Xuan Bao and Chen Bao started around 5 months ago. At first, we had little experience and we were all learning and exploring. However, through the enlightenment of Xuan Bao, we are learning more about Xuan Bao. Chenbao Enlightenment is much easier to use.
My enlightenment is mainly divided into two parts.
First, conventional enlightenment.
Because at the beginning, I didn’t know what the baby liked or was interested in, but I knew that enlightenment was important in perseverance. If you fish for three days and dry the net for two days, it would be meaningless.
So I started with my own interests and hobbies to enlighten the baby, so that at least I would have the motivation to persevere.
1. Reading enlightenment
My husband and I both like reading, so the first thing we do for our children is reading enlightenment. From 5 months to 1 and a half weeks old, the baby is not very good at reading. time period for speaking.
What I mainly buy is the kind of book that cannot be torn. It is small, exquisite and has clear pictures. The child can hold it in his hand and play with it. I will hold the baby in my arms and point to the book. Look at the picture above, baby this is an airplane, baby this is an apple, baby this is broccoli.
When the child was older, about a week and a half later, and could speak some simple words, I bought storybooks to tell her stories, such as "My Mom", "My Dad", "Escape" "Little Rabbit", the stories are relatively simple and the illustrations are exquisite. Babies like it very much.
2. Animation and English Enlightenment
Attention, mothers, animation enlightenment is simple and easy to operate, but be careful not to start too early and do not use mobile phones, because it has a great impact on the baby's vision. It's best to use a projector, but that's fine if you don't have a TV.
Since I was always weak in English when I was in school, I personally pay more attention to Xuan Bao’s English enlightenment.
I suggest not to start too early. Dabao started watching it on 1st August. At first, he watched "Owl No Bu". The picture is simple, the single episode is short, the speaking speed is slow, and there are fixed scenes. It is more suitable for younger children.
When you are older, watch "Dora the Explorer". Its plot is more interesting, with spoken English interspersed in it, and it also reminds the baby to speak it out loud together. Xuan Bao likes it very much.
Second, enlightenment based on the child’s interests
As Xuan Bao grows up, we find that Xuan Bao has a strong interest in singing. It is probably inherited from his father. Anyway, I am Tone-deaf, Chen Bao is still young and has not found any interest in him yet.
1. Enlightenment of nursery rhymes
At first, I wanted to enlighten Xuan Bao in Chinese studies. After all, it is more popular nowadays, but I failed several times.
Xuan Bao is not interested in ancient poetry at all. I taught her that there was a bright moonlight in front of the bed, and her voice dragged out "Light..." and she only read the last word of each sentence. I was beating my chest and feet. , she laughed up and down.
Later, it was much more enjoyable to learn her favorite nursery rhymes. She liked it very much and would learn it. I have to admit that interest is the best teacher. She learned it after 5 or 6 times and she was happy. I am happy and have a sense of accomplishment.
This shows that children’s enlightenment and interests are very important and can get twice the result with half the effort.
The above is my enlightenment experience. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. In addition, enlightenment is a marathon process and cannot be completed in a day or two. Moms and dads must be patient and persevere.
Due to the physical and psychological development limitations of 5-month-old babies, parents do not need to have too many standards for their children. The important thing is to provide daily care and meet the child’s physiological needs. Secondly, when the baby is While playing, you can train your baby's large movements and sensory abilities.
1. Turning over practice
Most 5-month-old babies are already proficient in turning over. If the baby still can’t, parents should let the baby practice more, lying on his back on the bed or with a On the floor of the mat, use toys to encourage the baby to turn left or right.
2. Sit-up exercises
This month’s baby can sit alone for a while, but cannot sit for a long time. You can place the baby on a sofa with a backrest Or on a chair, you can hold the child first, and then slowly release your hand after the baby sits firmly. The baby may fall forward or to both sides, indicating that the baby's waist strength is not enough.
3. Leg movement exercises
If the leg strength is sufficient, whether it is turning over, crawling or standing, it will be easier for the baby to master it, so parents can let the baby's legs Move more. Let the baby lie on the bed and put an arch-shaped toy on his legs, with bright colors and sounds, to encourage the baby to kick. Or hold the baby's armpits, step on your legs, bump up and down, and let the baby jump.
4. Practice grabbing toys
5-month-old babies like to grab things. Parents can put a variety of colorful toys around the baby while telling them about the toys. Name it while guiding your baby to grab it. If he can grab it easily, move it farther away. Grasping toys can not only exercise your baby's hand-eye coordination, but also exercise his upper limb mobility. Toys can change type, touch, and color, which can also give children different visual, auditory, and tactile experiences.
5. Language practice
A 5-month-old baby is in the babbling stage of learning language and often makes sounds like "ah ah oh oh". Parents should spend more time with the baby. When speaking, facial expressions can be exaggerated, and playing some short and rhythmic children's songs to children is good for their language development.
