Vision of the kid

The cursory glances of the first month turn into persistent eye contact lasting ten seconds or more, which captivates adults and hypnotizes the baby. These perceptive long looks and joyful facial expressions seem to say: "Hello, mommy and daddy!" In the first month your child mostly only looked at your face with a look;now he is studying your face more carefully.

Note. When Matthew looks at me, he scans my face very methodically and systematically. He seems to be studying my face. He starts by looking at my eyes and then looks up to the hairline and walks it around the circle, then returns to my eyes, drops to my mouth, rises to the hairline and returns to my eyes again. And this method he examines my face for a long time.

The eyes and head move together.

When you leave the child, notice that his eyes are now able to follow you for a few seconds. Unlike the asynchronous movements of the eyes and head in the newborn, now the child's eyes are moving more evenly, and his head has finally begun to keep pace with his eyes, and they move together. The child has a great ability to watch your face

or for a toy, moving from side to side, perhaps even all 180 degrees.

See next. In , last month the child showed little interest in the world beyond his reach. He could not see it distinctly. This month brings with it an increase in the intimate distance of the child, and now the focus is greater than its ever expanding world.

As if in two months the child was given a better camera, he begins to be interested in many of what is happening in any part of the room. He looks at your face for some time, looks and detains him on something in the distance, scans the room, stops at a moment, as if to capture the views you like, and then again takes a look at your face - this is still his favorite picture.

Lures for the eyes. To kindle interest in a curious two-month-old baby, here are the spectacles that cause the greatest delight. In the first months of life, children more like black and white pictures, rather than the rainbow of flowers. They prefer patterns in which colors contrast, and not smoothly pass one into another. Even in two-month-olds, visual tastes are picky. Instead of synthetic patterns and pastel tones of designer wallpapers, they prefer the

What the

babes like to look at • your face is the most favorite object;

• contrasting drawings( mostly black and white);

• black and white photos: glossy 20x25 cm photos of mom and dad;

• wide stripes, about 5 cm wide;

• black dots, about 2.5 cm in diameter, on a white background( the younger the child, the wider the band and the larger the point);

• chess cage and concentric circles( as on the target);

• silhouettes( for example, plants that are drawn against the background of a window);

• carousels, especially with black and white contrast patterns;

• ceiling fans and chandeliers;

• fire in the fireplace.

colors of nature: bright flowers in the garden, red-yellow falling autumn leaves and bare branches of trees, drawn against the background of the winter sky. In four walls children quickly become bored. Take the child out into the street, where the rhythmic movements of trees, clouds, flowers and even cars open wide their eyes wide.

Plant me so that I can see my world. Do you want to see clear, understanding eyes more often? Raise the child vertically. Children rarely use their visual and motor skills to communicate with the outside world when they lie on their backs. Perhaps the lying position reminds them too much of sleep. Instead of leaving the child in the crib, letting him lie down, staring at the carousel, plant it vertically in a child seat or on your lap or carry around the house on your shoulder.

Keep an eye on the eyes. Your child's eyes are a window to his feelings. Wide open, lively eyes are an invitation to play. Slowly lowering eyelids signal that it's time to sleep. A close look indicates interest, while an absent expression indicates boredom. If the eyes are dull, this may mean that the child is sick. If the child looks away and turns away from you, so he tells you that he is no longer interested and that it's time to change the activity. Lifting and frowning eyebrows is another tip that the first language of the child gives you - the eye language. The eyes are really the mirror of the soul.

The child smiles - the bad is forgotten

Here it is, the spectacle you've been waiting for so long - real smiles. The child's smile goes through two stages. Smiles of the past month were reflective smiles.

See how the child captures his view of an interesting vegetable pattern on furniture or wallpaper, or to a still beloved human face. Note that he is now studying these patterns for longer, paying more attention to the details, rather than blasting them as lightly as he did last month.

Communicative screams. It became easier to understand not only the language of the child's body - his crying now also gives a lot of information. A different cry reflects different needs - and requires a different reaction. Hearing a shrill scream, as if announcing an airborne alarm, you must drop everything and catch the baby in your arms. But a capricious crying can be honored with just a response from another room. Pay attention to the wait-and-see pauses that the child does in his cry. He tells you he expects a reaction and that he is going to protest if you misunderstand it.

Pronounced sounds are becoming more diverse. Now the child "speaks" more. The sounds become louder and more like vowels, and the child begins to draw vowels longer: "aaa", "eee", "iai", "ooo".Listen to this long series of nursing laughs, agukanja, cries and sighs, when the child is experimenting with how different movements of the tongue and mouth give different sounds. The child is delighted with how loud he can cry out - and how lightning his wailing attracts -

We'll lie down, we'll talk. Your three-month kid is able to raise his head and to establish eye contact.

The child very early on begins to understand that the sounds produced by him have a shock effect. But this screamer, perhaps, needs a small adjustment. Even at this age the child can commensurate his tone with yours. If you respond to the shrill screams of your baby in a whisper, he will most likely lower his voice.
