What's wrong with Beibei?
When Yaya's mother tried all the tricks and found that Yaya still didn't buy it, Yaya's mother suddenly remembered!
"Oh my God! Is Beibei in a leap period? ! "
So what is a leap year?
The "brain leap period" comes from the book "Miracle Week" written by children's psychological development experts Dr. Hetty van de Rijt and Dr. Frans Plooij. The book says: "In the first two years after a baby is born, there will be eight peaks of brain development by leaps and bounds."
After each leap, the baby will develop new skills, learn new forms of perceiving the world, and update iterations again and again until it is upgraded to an adult version.
Today, Mama Yaya will share with you that the baby is in a leap period, and what should parents do to better promote the baby's intellectual development.
1
Performance in the leap period
In the leap period, the most direct manifestations of the baby are irritability, crying, clingy, even eating and sleeping badly, and it is not easy to coax, which is often a signal that the leap period is coming.
However, why does the baby get upset?
Because every time you learn a new skill in the leap period, it means breaking an old habit, which seems simple but actually difficult.
When the baby discovers his new skills, he will feel, yo-ho! I'm really good! I can still eat with my own spoon. I can't believe it!
But when he fails most of the time and doesn't know what to do, he will show irritability and depression again! The development and change of this nervous system will naturally make them feel crazy.
In fact, we adults sometimes do the same. ...

Leaping period
The ten leap periods are on the 5th, 8th, 12, 15, 23, 34, 42, 5 1 week respectively.
Different babies will have a few days before and after, and generally the later the leap period, the longer. It is also easy to understand, because the skills you need to master are more and more complicated.
three
include
The first leap (week 5)
Basic signal:
Crying, screaming, fidgeting, eager to be close to my mother, quiet when nursing, sleeping when holding it, and crying when putting it down ~
Learning skills:
The baby's body is around the fifth week, and the brain and nervous system begin to leap for the first time. You will find that the baby who was distressed by her mother in the second month began to change. Old people often say that he will be naughty after the second month, so the official said.
At this stage, the skills that the baby needs to learn are:
The time of staring at the object becomes longer and the frequency increases;
Respond to the surrounding sounds immediately;
Laugh or laugh more for the first time than before;
The mouth will make a sound and express it more frequently;
Smell and touch are also more sensitive.
(Note: The above may not appear at the same time, and different babies have different emphases. Some children like to make noise, some children like to stare at things, some children like to caress, and so on. )
After the first leap is completed, the baby's world will be more colorful than that in the month!
Suggest parent training methods:
Make eye contact with your baby: Every time your baby stares at you, his memory will accumulate again, so adults should also respond positively.
| Skin-friendly: Breastfeeding is the simplest and most direct method. The baby can look at his mother and hear her voice. You can also touch your baby more to increase your intimacy with your baby.
Chat with your baby more: don't think that your baby doesn't understand. In fact, the baby likes his mother to communicate with them. Slowly, he can master the rhythm of talking to you and respond to you with the voice of "eyah".
The second leap (week 8)
Basic signal:
Learning skills:
A baby about two months old started a new way to know the world. By listening, seeing, smelling, touching and tasting, he can identify the shapes, shapes and structures that often appear, such as finding his hands and feet and finding that he can make sounds.
At this stage, the skills that the baby needs to learn are:
Control the body: stretch your arms and kick, from supine to lateral or even prone;
I began to try to grasp toys with my hands and learn to touch, hold and shake them.

Suggest parent training methods:
| Gentle Blowing: Gently blow a breath on the baby's side face with your mouth, and the baby will giggle at you. Babies will enjoy this interaction very much.
Respond positively to your baby's behavior: If your baby smiles at you or babbles at you, you need to immediately imitate your baby's voice or movements to respond to them, so that your baby can appreciate the value of his language and they will be more willing to express it.
| Exercise the baby to laugh: At this time, the baby has smiled back, and you can often try to make the baby laugh, if the baby doesn't like to laugh.
The third leap (week 12)
Basic signal:
Learning skills:
The third leap occurred around 12 weeks, that is, when the baby was almost three months old. With the first two experiences, the baby began to realize that vision, hearing, taste, smell and touch can undergo continuous gradual changes, such as the transition from high to low tone, the transition from bright to dark light and so on.
The baby's movements are smoother than before, and his eyesight is almost close to that of an adult.
Babies will learn the following skills:
You can change from supine to prone;
When changing diapers, I like to bend little ass hard;

| Small interaction with the baby: For example, you can bulge your cheeks for the baby to touch, and breathe when you touch it. For example, let the baby pat his forehead and raise his eyebrows when shooting; For example, you can let your baby scratch your ear. When you scratch, you can stick out your tongue to him ... After repeated practice, the baby will gradually discover the causal relationship between some actions and phenomena.
| Guide him to touch all kinds of objects: the objects at home are fresh to the baby. Hold the baby by his side and guide him to touch with his little hand, such as the floor-to-ceiling windows at home, the door of the bedroom, the leaves of plants on the balcony, clothes hangers for drying clothes, etc. So as to exercise the baby's perception.
The fourth leap (week 19)
Basic signal:
The fixed collocation of each leap period must be used to crying; No longer satisfied with horizontal hugs, it requires vertical hugs; Sleep less and wake up easily; There is an obvious fear of life, and the mood fluctuates obviously; Eat your thumb often.
Learning skills:
After the baby is born, the fourth leap begins from 14 weeks to 19 weeks. What is taken for granted in the adult world is novel to babies. For example, why can I land when I jump? Mom was here just now. Why is she leaving now? Everything is unpredictable to them.

The fifth leap of the baby's brain occurs from the 22nd and 5th weeks to the 26th and 5th weeks, that is, the baby is about five and a half months to six and a half months.
At this time, the baby will think that if he can't see his mother, his mother will be gone, and his "separation anxiety" will gradually appear. This series of new discoveries makes babies uneasy, and most babies begin to grow teeth during this period. So this transition period is very difficult.

After this leap, the baby will pay more attention to adults and play with toys. Mothers will be surprised by their baby's independent and happy attitude, and even find that the child is intentional.
In addition, they will learn something by observing the behavior of family members. For example, when mom brings watermelon, he will know it's time to eat fruit and expect to eat some.
The following are the new skills that the baby gradually learned in the next few months after the eighth leap:
(Again, not every baby can learn the following skills immediately. Different babies are fast and slow, and some babies will not have some skills even in the next few weeks or months. Mothers must not be anxious. Every baby has his own learning speed. )
Take out the broom and start sweeping the floor;
Go into the bathroom to clean the toilet;
Bringing clothes and shoes to your mother means going out;
Take out your clothes and put them on;

Tell you it's time to eat with words or gestures;
Put the spoon in the bowl and stir happily;
Complete the whole process of making a phone call;
Observe family members' behaviors such as dressing, eating and making phone calls.
Suggest parent training methods:
Let the baby make his own decisions: for example, what color bowl to eat, what color clothes to wear today and so on. Giving the baby a certain choice can let the baby know that his thoughts are meaningful, and at the same time enhance his ability to distinguish things.
Recognize who is who: print out the family photos that the baby is familiar with, and then show them to the baby to find out which one is the same person.
Yaya mom wrote it at the end.
