No matter what you do, it is very meaningful not to waste the first six months after the baby is born. During this time, the child can only make limited sounds and actions, so that many people think that he can't respond to what is happening around him and can't learn. We know that this idea is extremely wrong. In fact, in the first few weeks after a child is born, his emotions and intelligence develop at the same speed as other aspects, including height, weight and overall coordination.
I believe, first of all, the most important person in a baby's life is the one who takes care of him the most. Generally speaking, this person is his mother and you are his most important teacher. Like adults, we learn the most important and unforgettable knowledge and experience in life from people we like and have close relationships with. If you and your teacher have very close feelings and the same life background, and you can get information from each other, then the knowledge you have learned will be more solid and beneficial to you. The same applies to your children. You are his first teacher. If a close relationship can be established, the whole process of his study will become easier. For children, relationship is second only to you, and the second is your husband. He is another best friend of the child, and he should also establish close contact with the child as soon as possible. And you should also participate in baby education like you.
The education of a baby should not be a formal definition of education, there are no special rules, and it is not necessary to ask him to achieve some clear goals. You should let your children feel the wonder of the world through education. You can describe some fresh experiences to him and explain everything you have seen. Of course, the most important thing is that you and your children can participate in every activity together, so that you can study together. You should encourage and praise him at any time and place, even if he has made some insignificant achievements, you should continue to support him, especially when he wants to do things well but is not satisfactory. Without your support, the child can't get the confidence he needs.

Second, look at the children with your eyes.
When he was a child, it was necessary to make eye contact with the child, and face-to-face communication was crucial. In the first few days of life, one of the few things a child can see is a human face. Only when your face is 20-25 cm away from the newborn can he see you, so if he has to put his face close to him, he will find it "interesting". When you speak, you should consciously turn your head, raise your eyebrows, and most importantly, keep smiling, stare deeply into your child's eyes for a long time, and establish lasting eye contact. When nursing or playing with children, if mothers can look at their children and look them in the eyes, generally speaking, mothers who grew up rarely use corporal punishment to discipline their children. Similarly, children raised by such mothers are better at establishing harmonious relationships with others.
Third, talk to children.
The child began his first conversation with a smile. The conversation may be like this: at a distance of 20-25 cm from the child, you talk to him aimlessly, and you speak vividly. Children think this is a sign of friendliness and intimacy. Every child has the instinct to be friendly to others, so he smiles back at you. His reaction and friendly smile make you ecstatic, so you smile, and you may even laugh. You hug him and kiss him, and he likes it. In order to please you, he smiles sweeter, so you continue to do more things to make him happy, and the conversation can continue.
The interesting thing about this parent-child interaction is that the child has learned two very important lessons: first, he knows that his smile will be exchanged for others' smiles, and he may even get more tangible rewards than praise and recognition, such as hugs; Secondly, he also found ways to please you and communicate with you. He knows that he can initiate such communication and communicate with others in this way. It is reported that the number of times a baby smiles is closely related to his intellectual development level, because it shows that the baby has understood that if he smiles, others will like him and life will become happier. In this way, you will give your child a good start to contact and control the world in the future.
Fourth, read to children.
Children like books. If you often read to them, you will find that they are interested in books from a very young age. Reading with children can help children know colors, letters, numbers and the names of some simple things. Although the child can't read-your voice is his greatest comfort. Soon, you will find that reading before going to bed will become a beneficial and peaceful activity in your nightlife. You may never expect unexpected gains. Once you introduce books into your child's life, he may have a desire to read alone. You did something very beneficial to him, because you not only introduced him a way to entertain himself, but also brought him a pleasure-benefiting from books, which will accompany him all his life. In a child's life, the value of this beginning is immeasurable.
First of all, I suggest you choose colorful and durable cardboard books. For a change, you can also buy some books with three-dimensional patterns, but don't blame the children too much for the possible loss of books.
Fifth, the peak of learning.
The speed of children's growth, development and learning will not be the same forever. As we all know, every child has his own learning bee. At this time, children will swallow new ideas without thinking, master new skills and try. At the same time, however, he seems to have lost the ability he learned in the past. Don't worry about him, these skills won't be lost forever. The problem is that he concentrates on new knowledge, but once he learns new knowledge, his mastered skills can be restored.
At every peak stage, you should try your best to let your children live a colorful life. Of course, if a child is interested in something, you should try your best to meet his requirements, but don't be afraid of him touching new things. He is willing to learn tricks and absorb new knowledge in a short time. In addition, there is no need to be too cautious in entertainment, and children will screen out the entertainment they like and understand. Children under 1 year-old, learning is a gradual process. Therefore, if you have the conditions to let your children live a colorful life, you'd better help them.
This kind of learning peak is always intermittent, and after a period of time, the growth rate of children will slow down. We should let him recover his strength slowly. In the recovery period, the child will further consolidate the newly learned knowledge and accumulate strength for the next sprint. Don't worry about it, let him go and review what he has learned. In those slow learning stages, you can review with him and help him. You can say, "Let's sing that song again" or "Let's push the wooden nail into the hole again, shall we?"
6. Let your child be your guide.
Throughout life, it is not difficult to find that all the efforts made by those talented teachers are to help develop and expand our full potential. They help us give full play to our advantages and make up for our disadvantages! As a child's teacher, you should let him make full use of his own advantages and narrow down his own shortcomings. When he needs help, you should also lend a helping hand in time. If the person who is being helped really doesn't need or like help, then it's worthless to offer help at this time, so you should be an active helper and don't interfere with others. Your child should not learn what you want him to learn, but what he wants to learn. This should be your first task. You can't take it for granted that a child of his age should do something, but you should obey your child and respond positively to his needs. Wise parents should introduce their children into the vast and colorful world as much as possible. When all this becomes your job, it is not your job to guide him to be interested in anything. In other words, you just need to hand over the menu and let him decide which dish to eat.
