We never worry that babies will grow taller and fatter, talk and walk, because these are all things we can see and touch, generation after generation, so we don’t doubt it. But in fact, in the unseen place, the baby’s cognitive ability is also a developmental pattern, for example, the baby will understand the cause and effect relationship before the age of 5 months, before the age of 9 months will understand the object weighing the existence of …… Only by understanding the developmental pattern of babies can we target our babies and give them more scientific and reasonable early education. 0-3 months A baby doesn’t understand at this time that mom and dad still exist after they leave. She doesn’t even realize that you are the same person every time you are with her. She is not afraid of strangers and loves to be held by anyone. Early Learning Suggestions: Respond to your baby in a timely manner; insist on stroking. Don’t underestimate these simple things, this is the foundation of all developmental development of the baby, only when the baby gets enough love enough sense of trust, she can have the confidence to learn new skills. 3-5 months Cause and Effect This is the time when your baby becomes more curious about the outside world and is willing to start exploring the people and things around her. Your baby is beginning to understand “cause and effect”, that is, one of her actions can cause another result. For example, a music box will only make a sound if it is pressed; your baby will begin to reach for toys, grab toys, bang on toys to make a sound, and eat toys. These are the toys she began to explore in their own way, do not underestimate these explorations, which shows that her little brain has begun to operate up, in the figure. Early Learning Suggestion: Prepare some toys suitable for this age group, such as rattles, balls that make sounds, and tumblers for your baby to explore on her own. 5-7 months Spatial relationships Before this age, babies see the world in two dimensions. Starting from the 5th month, babies suddenly realize that the world is three-dimensional. Babies begin to understand that things and things do not exist separately. They begin to have a vague impression of how things work with each other, and know that there are relationships between things, for example, one toy can be put on top of another toy, and things can be put inside a box. Early Learning Suggestions: Various kinds of packing boxes and stacking music can effectively help children build up a sense of space. 7-9 months Objects are constant Until this point, baby thinks that things are disappearing when they are not in her field of vision. Starting from the 7th month, she begins to understand that things are permanent and that objects are still there when they are out of her sight. For example, if she is holding a block and it slips out of her hand, she will search underneath or around with the direction of the slip and no longer think that the block has disappeared. Early Learning Suggestion: The game of hide-and-seek is a favorite of babies during this period, and even things falling to the ground will surprise babies. 9-12 months Recall memory and imitation ability Before this period, baby’s memory is “cognitive memory”, which is very short, remembering what happened at the moment and then forgetting it. Starting from this period, your baby has a “recall memory” and can remember one or two small things that happened in the past few days. She can remember one or two small things that happened in the past few days. She is also a very good imitator, so we might call her a “little follower” because she really wants to imitate her parents. Sometimes, an action that the parents did to the baby a few days ago, the baby will suddenly know and start to do it after a few days. This is also the first period of “separation anxiety” for the baby. She understands more about the “permanent existence of things” and knows that her mother still exists even if she can’t see her. So she will cry and scream to show that she wants her mom to come back to her. Early Learning Suggestion: Talking to your baby every day and leading by example is the best early learning.
