How to raise a one year old

The first years of life is very important for developing little restless, so take more time for activities with the baby. Draw together, sculpt from plasticine – it develops fine motor skills, imagination and creative thinking of the child. Buy the baby educational toys: cubes, pyramid, designer and puzzles with big parts.

Carry out all lessons in a fun game. A year-old child cannot focus long enough on any one activity, don't force it, switch attention of the child to the other useful activity. Distraction works well with whims, take this tactic into consideration, it is better to distract the little capricious, than to scream and be angry with him.

Teach your child the basics of polite communication. Play with him in story games. Simulate a few situations: "Bunny Walks in the woods, and sees a hedgehog, what do you say hedgehog at the meeting?", "Bear came to visit the Fox, she gave him tea with raspberries, do I have to thank the Fox for food and hospitality?" With the help of toys play many different instructive stories, because thanks to these games, the child perceives the world and learns to draw conclusions.

Read the baby kind and good poems and tales, where evil is punished and good always wins. Just choose a simple and short story, baby this old is still hard to take long and complicated pieces. Explain to your child that to be greedy is bad, much more fun and interesting to share with each other toys and play together in one game.

The walk will allow the baby to touch the flowers and grass, dig in the sand for fun and even to pet the neighbour's cat. Do not try to protect the child from "all the joys of life", let him under your strict guidance develops and perceives the world around in all its manifestations.
