What makes him move
Cheerfulness. Year is an amazing age. Your child has completely changed: he eats, crawls, acts, changes his feelings to himself and others. When he was small and helpless, you could put him where you wanted, give toys that seemed appropriate for you, feed the food that you liked best. Most of the time he agreed to obey you and accepted everything kindly. Now that he is a year old, things have become more complicated. The child, apparently, realized that he will not be a puppet all his life, that he is a man, with his desires and with his will.
When he is offered something that he does not like, he should his own. That is what his nature tells him. He simply says "no" - with words or gestures - even things he likes. Psychologists call this negativism, mother - "terrible time" no. "But stop and think what would become of him if he was not able to say "no."He would become a robot, a mechanical man. You could not resist the temptation to always command them, and he would cease to learn and develop. And then in the world around him, at school, and later at work everyone would enjoy this feature of him. He would not be good for anything.
Passion for exploration. He is a passionate explorer. He thrusts his nose into all the cracks and corners, thrusts his fingers into the furniture recesses, shakes the table and everything that is not nailed to the floor;he wants to drop everything from a shelf to a single book, climbs everything he can reach, puts small toys in big ones, and then tries to put big ones in small ones. A tired mother says: "He puts his nose everywhere", and the tone of her voice indicates that he is hindering everything. She probably does not understand what an important period he is going through. The child should learn everything about the size, shape, weight of objects around his world and try his hand before he can move on to the next stage, just like he must finish primary school in order to go to the middle. That which.he "puts his nose everywhere", is proof of the normal development of his mind and soul.
By the way, by this time, you probably already realized that he does not sit still for a minute when he does not sleep. This is not a nervousness, but an urge to explore. He is so arranged that he can and must learn the whole new day.
