Some mothers often say: “Our baby is too active, eating, bathing, changing diapers are constantly moving!” Some mothers say, “My baby is too quiet, drinking milk, bathing and so on are particularly good, I do not know if this is good.” Today, we will talk to you about the baby’s good movement and good quiet thing. 1.Why is there a difference in the size of the baby’s activity? The size of the baby’s activity is controlled by the brain, which also means that the baby’s body needs to be stimulated through activity. After the baby is 3 years old, on the one hand, the baby’s brain neurological development is more mature; on the other hand, the baby can consciously control their behavior. At this time, the amount of baby activity will change. Whether the baby is active is actually a manifestation of the baby’s natural temperament, there is no good or bad. Just like, some people are born active, grew up to become athletes, and some people, born quiet, grew up to become a cartoonist, different temperament of people will have different career development in the future, but its own is not good or bad. 2, what is the performance of a baby with a lot of activity? Babies with a lot of activity move fast, are more active, can’t sit still, and move almost constantly when they are awake. It will be hard to take care of the baby when feeding, changing diapers, bathing, etc. Babies with a lot of activity spend less time sleeping and move around or kick their feet when they sleep, and change sleeping positions. Even if the baby is not quiet when sleeping, we don’t need to worry too much as long as he or she is in good spirits and full of energy the next day. 3.What is the performance of a baby with low activity level? Babies with low activity levels generally behave very well, drinking milk, bathing, changing diapers, he is very quiet; when they grow up, they tend to do static activities, such as reading books, playing with blocks, etc., so it will be easier for parents to take care of them. Also, babies with low activity levels sleep longer. 4, repression or laissez-faire is not good for the baby The baby’s natural mobility or quiet, there is no good or bad, just individual differences, parents do not have to worry. However, let the baby develop freely without guidance, or suppress the baby’s nature, are not good for the baby’s growth. (1) For the active baby If we overly suppress the behavior of the active baby, not allowing him to walk, and insist that the baby be quiet, the baby will easily form an anti-social personality, aggressive and rebellious. If we leave him alone, let him do whatever he likes, is to indulge the baby, the baby will not know how to respect people in the future, easy to become self-centered, impolite children. (2) The impact of too little activity for the baby If the baby’s activity is too little, and parents do not guide him to be more active, the baby’s body will not be able to develop well, but also affect the healthy development of the brain. Quiet baby is not good at expressing their needs, parents are also prone to ignore him, lack of concern for him, baby many reasonable needs are not met, over time, the baby may form a poorly expressed repressed personality. 5, how to guide the small amount of activity baby? For babies with little activity, parents should encourage and guide him to be more active and play with him, mainly through parent-child activities. (1) help and encourage baby activity baby is relatively quiet, parents take the initiative to provide stimulation, let the baby’s body move. (2) Do infant massage exercises, passive exercises and active exercises For example, supine head lifting, pulling sitting, turning over, etc. When stimulating the baby’s body, you can also talk to him at the same time. (3) Accompany the baby to do activities together When the baby can crawl, the mother can accompany the baby to crawl together. For example, the parents face the baby, in front of the baby with a toy he is interested in, teasing him to crawl forward, or behind the baby, pretending to chase him, to stimulate him to crawl forward. (4) Take your baby outdoors to walk outdoors, let him touch more outdoor things, stimulate his interest in outdoor activities, if he can walk, run, you can encourage him to do walking, running and other activities that have a greater amount of movement and can exercise muscles. The principle of guidance for babies with little activity is gradual. At the beginning of the baby to carry out activities, the length of time can be a little shorter, and then slowly increase every day, preferably not less than half an hour of activity every day. 6.How to guide the baby with a large amount of activity? (1) let the baby have the opportunity to expend energy Since the baby is active, can not sit, we must give him the opportunity to move, otherwise he will be anxious and restless. In fact, active babies will be quiet when they have enough activities. (2) Activities suitable for babies under 1 year old Put a few toys at the head of the bed of a 2~4 month old baby so that he can pull and play with his hands or kick and play with his feet. Toys that make sounds can give your baby auditory stimulation. When the baby can crawl and can pick up things, you can try to throw things for the baby to pick up. (3) Activities suitable for babies over 1 year old After babies can walk, run and jump, you can let them go outdoors for activities with a high activity level. Mom and dad can design some activities such as kicking a ball, playing with a ball, etc., so that the baby’s muscles get proper activity. This type of more physical activity can be done for about half an hour a day. In addition, after the baby is 1.5 years old, you can use a towel or sheet to wrap the baby, and then open the towel, slowly let the baby roll out, this activity can stimulate the development of vestibular balance of the baby’s brain, active baby especially like this activity. (4) Let your baby walk the floor mat or walk a straight line The monochrome floor mat is lined up in a straight line or square, let your baby crawl or walk on the mat, this is a dynamic activity, but because your baby must move within the prescribed limits, so you can make your baby concentrate. However, parents should be careful not to use flowery mats, because flowery colors will make the baby excited, while monochrome mats, especially black or white has a stabilizing effect on the mood. Wait until the baby is 2 years old, and then let him practice the more difficult line walking activities, that is, the floor mats to tape, with colored tape on the floor with straight lines or squares, so that the baby according to the straight line or square walk, do not walk outside the line. (5) Let your baby play with blocks or read a book After your baby has finished walking on the floor or walking on the line, it will be easier for him to do static activities. For example, play with blocks or read a book, the time does not have to be too long, when the baby shows impatience, you can let the baby crawl or walk the line again. (6) Cultivate baby’s regular rest habits After the baby is 3 months old, sleep habits will generally be the same as adults, you can use music to cultivate the baby’s regular rest habits. For example, listen to quiet music before bedtime, do baby massage or help him take a bath to quiet him down and help him fall asleep. Never let your baby perform overly stimulating exercises within an hour before bedtime, such as throwing him into the air, which will make him too excited and difficult to fall asleep. 7, parents to guide the child’s attention (1) do not force the baby In the process of parent-child interaction, if you find that the baby is not happy, you should immediately stop. Interacting with your baby when he or she is happy is what will help him or her develop. (2) Be patient The amount of activity your baby is born with is something he can’t control himself. Some babies are too mobile, not that he deliberately tossed parents, we have to be patient with the baby. And some babies are too quiet, we should not be too anxious to let him move for fear of his lack of physical activity. (3) Provide a safe space for your baby to move around. Babies who are active have a great ability to explore things and are destructive, and are also prone to collide with walls, tables and chairs and are easily injured. In addition to staying with him at all times and paying attention to his safety, we must also ensure that his activity space is safe, such as wrapping the table legs, laying safety mats on the floor, and so on.
