How to raise a mentally healthy child ?

After the smooth transition of the newborn period, entered the infant period (from full-term to one year old), this period of time the child emotional stabilization, the main task of this stage is to establish contact and expand the cognitive, so how can we help infants to complete such a task? 1, the infant in the adaptation to the surrounding environment, need to understand who he is in contact with? What are they like? This period of time the child is particularly interested in the human face, especially the mother, parents should be more with the child, talk to him. When someone else comes to visit, you need to tell your child who is here, and not just greet the guests and ignore the child. For example: baby, grandma (grandma, etc.) came to see you, baby is good! When you come again, say: Grandma misses the baby, “again” to see the baby, Grandma likes the baby. These family words to say to the child to listen to, after time and time again, will be in the child’s heart to establish a preliminary network of relationships. 6 months after the child will be recognized, this time do not allow people to force the child to carry over, to patiently introduce the child to each other. 2.Expanding cognition includes: colors, shapes, sounds and so on. Often use different colors to stimulate the child’s vision, hanging the same balloon on it for a long time is not desirable. Prepare various shapes of toys for children to touch and hold. Simply explain the process and let the child explore more on his/her own. Play some music, songs, light music, rhythmic can be, not too loud. 3, the development of skills: when the child can sit, you can prepare some manipulative toys, such as blocks, tableware, etc., the beans bottled is a good way to practice coordination. Parents do in front of the child to show him, a few times after the child will take the initiative to play, in the child to play less parents to help, more children to complete. Remember: do not arbitrarily interrupt the child to play the process, such as something must be interrupted, to give the child to say the reason, otherwise it is not conducive to the development of children to form the character of the end. Note: the so-called “toys” do not necessarily buy, anything at home can become a toy, a piece of paper, a cut wire and so on.
