Training focus
1.Improve the coordination and flexibility of the infant’s movement, so that walking movements and hands-on ability can be further improved.

I. Cultivation of cognitive ability
1.Cultivation of observation ability. Observation is a purposeful sensory perceptual activity and is the main way to develop intelligence. Children observe things through various sensory organs. Therefore, to develop children’s observation ability, we should start from developing the sensory abilities of vision, hearing, smell and touch, and start from things they are interested in and notice, and consciously guide them to observe things.
(1) Observe the characteristics of things. Size, shape, color, etc. Start with basic shape and color identification. It is not necessary to ask children to remember the names of shapes and colors at this stage, but rather to understand the meaning of the word “shape” and “color”.
(2) Develop the stability of children’s attention and expand the range of attention.
2. Memory development. Children’s memory is the accumulation of information obtained by the sensory organs. With memory, children can show daily progress.
(1) Physical memory exercises. Let children find the toys they need according to their memories.
(2) Reinforcement memory exercises.
(3) Development of thinking ability. Children’s thinking activities are based on the surrounding physical objects and concrete activities, in the exploration activities and the ensuing perception. Therefore, in promoting the development of infants and toddlers thinking skills of the factors, the most important is to create a conducive environment for children to use their hands and brains, to provide opportunities for activities.
(1) Develop the problem-solving skills of young children. Words can help children select their own solutions to problems, while expanding the possibility of using such solutions in solving similar problems.
(2) Develop flexibility of thinking. Teach children different ways to play with the same toy and direct their attention to observe multiple uses of an object in their daily lives to develop their problem-solving skills.
4.Cultivation of imagination and creativity
(1) Identify the sound.
(2) Hand shadow performance.
(3) Look at pictures.
Second, the development of motor skills
1.Continue to train children’s ability to walk independently, the stability of walking, and promote motor coordination and balance of the body.
2.Develop children’s walking, squatting and bending movements.
3.Training children to get out of bed.
4.Training the flexibility and accuracy of children’s hands. Draw lines, draw simple geometric diagrams, build blocks, wear plastic ropes, etc.
Third, the cultivation of habits and life skills
1.Sleep: In addition to night sleep, the child can sleep twice during the day, 1.5~2 hours each time.
2.Eating. After weaning, the number of feedings per day is about 4~5 times, which can be arranged at breakfast, lunch and dinner time and during the day when you wake up from sleep. Develop the habit of eating regularly and positioning meals, and encourage children to eat on their own. Cultivate the habit of washing hands before and after meals.
