How to deal with a child 6-7 months, what should a child be able to do at this age
The second half of the year has begun in your child's life. He already knows a lot, but he still has a lot to learn. Of course, parents should help him. How to help a child and how to deal with a child 6-7 months?
Learn to crawl
Many babies already begin to crawl in six months. For the development of crawling skills, you can do with the baby gym. It is very convenient to do this during the usual morning exercises.
We train the child's arms by "pulling".Take the child by the handles and lift it up slightly. The child strains the muscles of the hands and thereby trains them.
Alternately bend the legs of the child or both legs together. The child straightens the legs and pushes his mother's hands away.
Children at this age are very fond of different "noise".Show the baby a rattle, baste it, but do not give it to him. The child will be interested and will want to get to the toy.
Free the child a pad for crawling. Remove all dangerous items. Lay a special blanket. On the perimeter, lay out toys - this will make the child move. But do not let the child get bored. Play with it. Show what you need to do to make the toy rustle. Attract the child's attention to different toys.
Giving skills and fine motor skills
How to deal with a toddler at this age to develop his grasping skills? The baby already knows how to hold rattles, knows how to rattle them. He already starts to miss and objects that do not fit into the hands.
It is necessary to stimulate grasping movements of the baby. Give him "uncomfortable" items: balls, cubes, mugs. Show him how to keep them, so that the baby can train.
You can teach him to drink alone from the mug. Nothing that first he pours it all on himself.
Speech skills
How to develop speech skills? Babies at this age can babble for a long time, repeat individual syllables. These are not words, but at that time the foundations of speech are laid. Everyone who communicates with the child should speak very clearly. Try to use short words more often: monosyllabic or two-syllable. Call the objects, let the kid recognize them and show them with a finger.
