DEVELOPMENT OF YOUR CHILD
The developmental characteristics of children may be slightly different. The information given here reflects the majority. If your observations in your child are different from those given here, this may be normal : talk to your pediatrician about your observations and thoughts and ask for information.
Your child may be performing functions older than his or her age group. However , consult your doctor if he or she cannot do the appropriate age .
If your baby was born prematurely (premature), follow the time of premature birth until the age of two. For example, if she was born a month early and is now five months old, look at the development of a 4-month-old baby.
HOW DOES DEVELOPMENT HAPPEN?
Brain development depends on structural-hereditary characteristics, as well as environmental factors, the child's activities. Cells and connections that are operated and used in the brain are strengthened and those that are not used become smaller and even disappear: this can be summarized as the “use or lose” principle.
Therefore, every person who is interested in babies and young children has permanent effects on the development of their brain. Children's relationships with adults affect their brain development.
These effects can be positive or negative. If you want to have a positive impact on your child's development:
Respond to the signs and sounds that he gave.
Talk to him, read him, sing.
Develop daily, fixed habits
Encourage people to explore and play around
After the age of two, you can watch the appropriate programs on the TV for no more than one hour a day.
Be consistent in your behavior: always appreciate the specific behavior of your child in the same way, or punish, if necessary. Let him know what negative, unwanted behavior is. Negative behavior will take time to recover: do not expect immediate results, and appreciate it when it makes an effort.
Be clear: instead of ”messy room açık, speak clearly like” your toys, clothes are on the floor ”.
If there are differences of opinion in the child's education between you and your spouse or family elders, do not discuss them with her. One of you advises him, the other should not interfere.
To show that you have noticed the characteristics of the developmental period and to participate in it will encourage your child and encourage them.
Raising children is a happy, fun, fascinating challenge: ENJOY IT!
