Girl 10 months developmental norm. Your child is ten months old: what he already knows and what he should be able to do at this age. What's new in mental development

At 10 months, the child willingly carries out various assignments, and they themselves come up with many “important” things for themselves. If you want your child to be just as proactive in the future, this behavior should be encouraged. And so that the crumbs do not have a feeling of helplessness and resentment because the chosen business is not up to the task (and this is how it most often turns out), the mother should come to the rescue in a timely manner. And very much to praise for the little that the child still managed to do himself.

The independence of the baby should also be encouraged. A child, for example, may have his own responsibilities, with which he is already quite able to cope. You set the table - the little one puts the spoons. You are going for a walk - he chooses which tights or sweater to wear: red or blue. In addition, with this approach, the baby will know what awaits him in the near future - lunch, a walk or reading fairy tales.

A predictable environment is always more comfortable for a child, and he cannot guess what is in his mother's head. Is it necessary to be surprised at the protest on the part of the baby when he suddenly has to throw his favorite ball and go to the table?

Child development test at 9-10 months

1. At nine to ten months, the child sits well without support, moves, crawls forward for a toy, rises in response to hands outstretched to him, walks holding on to a support, takes small objects with both hands.

2. Imitates the actions of another child, communicates with gestures.

3. If you give the child sticks, show how you can drum them on the table, then he will be able to imitate these actions. Just hit the spoons against each other.

4. A child at this age is good at playing “patties”, “give me a pen”, etc., but to the question “where?” and the request “give” searches everywhere for the desired object.

5. Knows his name well, responds to it. He knows the names of people close to him, the names of surrounding objects and shows images of animals in the pictures.

6. Can, upon request (without showing), perform pre-learned actions. Understands the words “go”, “sit”, “lie down” and others.

7. Can independently climb and descend from a low ladder with support.

8. The child may already play in the company of other children if adults provide assistance.

9. Repeats new syllables after adults, uses pseudo-words that express the child's attitude to what is happening.

10. Calm about planting on the potty. Voice signals biological needs.

How much does a 10 month old baby eat

Meals 5 times a day. Meat puree can be gradually replaced with a soft meatball, steam cutlet. If there is no diathesis, by the end of the month, once a week, instead of meat, give a fish meatball, mashed boiled fish.

How much does a 10 month old baby sleep

The mode and daily routine of a child at 10 months

The daily regimen depends on the number of feedings and the biorhythms of the child (someone gets up earlier in the morning, some later, some sleep more during the day) and often differs for all children of the same age. Adjust to the child, but try to feed and put the child to bed at the same time every day, so he will have less problems with digestion and sleep. .

This mode is far from a guide to the life of mom and baby by the clock, but only an example by which you can imagine how long the phases of sleep and wakefulness, breaks between meals can be.

Child development in the eleventh month of life

For most children, this month is marked by two events: the first step and the first word. In parallel with the improvement of movements, thinking is improved. In terms of the intensity of mental development, the period on the eve of the year is the most intense. Not a single academician, not a single Nobel laureate could, in just four weeks, increase his intellectual potential as much as your baby does jokingly and playing. Rejoice, admire, observe!

"Papa" or "Mom"? The child began to speak.

One fine day, the son or daughter greets the father entering the room with a joyful exclamation: “Dad!” The father, of course, is happy and proud; mother, although she is glad, is somewhat upset: why wasn’t the word addressed to her first?

This happens often, and not at all because the child loves his father more. At the risk of infringing on paternal pride somewhat, suppose that the baby simply finds it easier to pronounce the sound “p” than “m”. And indeed, at first, both “pa-pa” and “ma-ma” meant no more to him than “gaga” or “la-la”. And only due to the fact that the child kept hearing: “Go to dad”, “Wave your hand to dad”, - the sound connected with the performance, the understanding came that this big, pleasant person should be called “dad”.

So the mother, talking to the child, herself prepared the father's championship. And she did great! Now she herself will not have long to wait for the desired treatment. Moreover, “mother” becomes a very ambiguous word for the child, accommodating a whole range of feelings, considerations and impressions. This is “mom has come”, and “where is mom?”, and “I feel bad without mom”. Do not be surprised if one day, looking at the usual cup or at his blouse, he also says: "Mom." Understand this: “Mom gives me juice from this cup”, “Mom puts on this blouse for me.”

When talking to your child, naming objects and explaining your actions, invite him to repeat simple short words after you. If he asks for something, stretching out his hand to the desired object, do not rush to fulfill his request, but teach: “Say: “give!”

The kid still loves his first games: magpie-crow, patties, hide and seek. He can already be interested in a simple plot game: put the dog to bed, feed the bear, shake the baby ... In the arena, he often stands, holding on to the barrier with one hand, but it also happens: he bends down, takes a toy from the bottom of the arena and, carried away, begins to twirl it already with two hands. He himself will not notice that he left the support!

Until now, sitting in his mother's arms, he did not want anything better. Now, more and more often, he starts arching impatiently, asking for the floor: I really want to walk! First, it has to be held under the armpits for greater stability, then by both hands. Well, a little more, a little more ... Squat down in front of him, beckon to you, and, leaning forward slightly, legs wide apart (it’s easier to maintain balance), with an expression of determination, delight and fear, he will take a few steps and fall into your arms. Who is happier at this moment - him or you?

Let's eat a cutlet!

A less significant, but still an event, can be considered the fact that at the eleventh month the child for the first time instead of meat puree will receive a dish of an almost “adult” table - a meatball or even a steam cutlet.

Minced meat for both should be very soft, fluffy. It must be passed through a meat grinder twice (the second time - together with soaked bread: for 50 g of meat 10 g of bread), add a tablespoon of cold water, add a little salt, mix well. Meatballs are dipped in boiling water or broth and boiled for 15-20 minutes; cutlets are placed in a deep frying pan and, half-filled with water or broth, cooked under the lid.

It is also time to replace fish puree with a more solid dish - meatballs. Pass the fish (50 g) peeled from the skin and bones together with bread (10 g) through a meat grinder, add a quarter of the raw yolk, a teaspoon of vegetable oil to the minced meat, beat. Having formed small balls, fill with water and cook for 20-30 minutes over very low heat.

For meatballs or a cutlet, in addition to mashed potatoes, you can give a sample and a piece of boiled carrots (if the child does not have diathesis), potatoes, cauliflower.

The very procedure of eating becomes more complicated: after all, meat puree did not need to be chewed much, and now you have to work more actively with your teeth. Meatballs, vegetables, give the baby a small piece, make sure that he does not swallow them whole. The skills of careful, unhurried chewing are very important - this is the first condition for good digestion and assimilation of food. Who eats slowly, gets more pleasure from food, more fully perceives its taste.

By the eleventh month, most children have already given up their fifth feeding - at 10 pm. Now the last feeding becomes the fourth, and it should be denser. What to give your child for dinner?

7-8 hours.

Breakfast: milk porridge, half a hard-boiled yolk - you can grind it by adding it to the porridge, or give it separately. 1-2 times a week instead of porridge - milk noodles. Maybe fruit juice.

12 hours 30 minutes (or 13 hours 30 minutes).

Lunch: mashed vegetable soup with finely chopped vegetables and cereals. You can have meat broth - only if there is not the slightest manifestation of diathesis (not more than 1-2 times a week).

Steam cutlet, meat or fish meatballs (once a week) with vegetable puree (meat or fish - 50 g, vegetables - 150). Fruit juice.

16 hours.

Snack: kefir, mashed cottage cheese (50 g), fruit puree or apple, peach, half a banana.

19-20 hours.

Dinner: vegetable puree, cottage cheese pudding (on the day when there is no cottage cheese for an afternoon snack). Kefir or milk mixture.

The total amount of food is still no more than 1000 ml (1000 g) per day. If the child nevertheless wakes up at 22 o'clock with a clear desire to get some yogurt or breast milk, do not refuse him. And in general, the mode can be varied, adapting to the characteristics of your baby. After all, now it is already clear who you have - an “owl” or a “lark”. It is difficult to change these features, and there is no need to. The “owlet”, which, walking around in the evening, falls asleep later and wakes up later, will have to be fed breakfast later, and everything else will move accordingly; and for the “lark”, who falls asleep early and wakes up almost at dawn, both breakfast and the next feeding will fall at an earlier time. In general, the regime becomes free, but still remains a regime: a certain, repeating routine from day to day. It's better for both the baby and the mother. When breastfeeding, with any feeding, it is better to replace part of the dairy food with breast milk.

And hurt - skillfully

Although the baby has become stronger, he is now very vulnerable to viruses that cause SARS. These diseases, which we call colds in everyday life, always become more frequent in autumn, in wet, cold weather. There are a lot of sneezing and coughing people around, and being close by, it is easy to get infected. Try not to travel with your child in public transport, do not go to shops. If someone in the family gets sick - let him not contact the baby. But, of course, when ARVI, as they say, is on the threshold, it is difficult to protect yourself.

Children usually fall ill acutely, immediately, and yet the mother’s heart senses, the mother’s eye picks up some faint harbingers: either the baby slept a little more restlessly, or he didn’t eat so willingly, or he didn’t play so joyfully. Several hours pass, and now he has already become capricious, refused another meal, his temperature has risen. Now there is no doubt - he got sick. And the time is in the evening, the doctor will come only tomorrow ... What should I do now?

So that you do not repeat those typical mistakes that many mothers usually make in this situation, we first agree

what not to do:

You don't have to wrap the baby. Children get overheated very easily, and if at a temperature of, say, 38° you cover him with a quilt, the temperature can rise to 39° and even higher.

If the temperature does not exceed 38-38.5 °, do not give antipyretics. It is necessary to hurry with this only if the child has ever had convulsions and the neurologist warned that they could happen again. For other babies, this temperature is harmless, moreover, it is a protective reaction that contributes to better production of interferon in the body that resists viruses.

Do not give your child antibiotics or Bactrim, Biseptol. These are antibacterial drugs, they do not act on viruses and will not bring any benefit now, but they will add harm, as they often cause allergic reactions and almost always contribute to the development or intensification of dysbacteriosis: destroying the harmful flora, they also destroy the beneficial one.

Of course, if a child, more than expected, develops any complication of a bacterial nature - otitis media, bronchitis, pneumonia, antibiotics and sulfonamides cannot be dispensed with. But then, prescribing them, the doctor will select in parallel the means that can, if not prevent, then at least mitigate side effects.

But what can be done anyway? How to help the baby? If you have homeopathic medicines such as German flu-hel or our domestic (by the way, cheaper) anti-grippin in your first-aid kit (and this is desirable during the SARS season), start giving! The advantages of such funds are that they increase the body's defenses and almost never cause allergic reactions. Give flu-hel half a tablet dissolved in boiled water every hour and as the condition improves, increase the interval to four hours. The course of treatment is a week. If the disease began very acutely, with a sharp rise in temperature, in the first hour, give flu-hel at the same dose every 15 minutes. According to the same scheme, antigrippin is also used, dissolving in water one grain at a time.

But, let's say there are no homeopathic remedies in the house, and the child's temperature approaches 39 °. Then it is permissible to give an antipyretic, best of all paracetamol or efferalgan, which also includes paracetamol.

And if there is no paracetamol or it has little effect? Resort to a simple and quite effective means: open the child completely, unbutton or remove the pajama blouse, shirt, wipe the hands with a napkin dipped in cool water (18-20 °). Feel the legs - and at high temperatures they can be cold. If so, rub them red-hot, this will also increase heat transfer.

Further treatment will be prescribed by the doctor. And on your responsibility, under all conditions, there will be what pediatricians call “mother therapy”, that is, care!

Most of all, the baby is annoyed by a runny nose. Try cleaning the nose with the smallest baby enema bottle, not a used one, but a new one. One nostril must be pressed, carefully insert the tip of the balloon into the other and suck out the mucus. You can dry the nasal mucosa with vasoconstrictor drops - they come in different versions, but you need special ones for children. If you don’t find these and you have ordinary sanorin or galazolin at hand, be sure to dilute them with boiled water in a ratio of 1: 3. You can use the drops for no more than three days! Then they start to backfire. And do not forget that it makes sense to bury them only after sucking out the mucus.

Both of these procedures, of course, the child does not like and he resists as best he can. There is an easier way: if you put the baby on your stomach, the mucus will begin to flow out by itself, and you just have to wipe it with a soft handkerchief.

The kid does not know how to clear his throat. Help him by tapping his chest with the pads of your fingers. Drink warm tea, fruit drink, compote more often: plentiful warm drink is also a medicine.

ARVI proceeds in different ways - and relatively easy, ending in 5-7 days, and harder, longer, with complications. How will things go for you? Something can be predicted. If, for example, one of the parents or older children had ARVI often complicated by otitis media, it is more likely to expect the same. First aid in this case is a warming compress, the rest will be prescribed by an otolaryngologist. If someone from the older generation suffers from allergic diseases, the child is more likely to develop croup.

Children with an allergic mood of the body, suffering from diathesis, full, loose, are more prone to this formidable complication. If your baby is just like that, from the first day of illness, give him prophylactic tavegil, diazolin or another antihistamine drug, in the dosage prescribed to him during exacerbations of diathesis.

This is especially necessary for boys, they develop croup more often than girls.

The danger of croup - swelling of the mucous membrane of the larynx - in its sudden, abrupt onset and the possibility of a rapid transition from a relatively mild first stage to a severe second and life-threatening third.

This usually happens in the evening or at night. Hearing an unusually rough, hoarse, barking cough, you will immediately understand what is wrong. The order of your actions: mom takes the child in her arms, tries to calm him down, dad urgently opens a hot shower in the bathroom, all hot water taps. Stay there with your child: breathing in moist, warm air can help. If after a few minutes he does not feel better, his breathing remains noisy, hoarse, you can’t hesitate and hesitate - call an ambulance!

A child's illness is a test for parents. It is very difficult not to worry, not to be nervous. But invoke all possible tranquility! After all, your nervousness is transmitted to the child, it harms him. Be patient, even, affectionate - then he will be more patient, calmer. What can you do, diseases are inevitable, and you also need to be able to get sick skillfully ..

What a 10 month old baby can do

In most cases, a ten-month-old baby makes quite a few different sounds. You can even hear some simple words in his language exercises, for example: ma-ma-ma. But this is still far from a meaningful "mother". Language development is just beginning.

Support the child's desire to speak in every possible way. Talk to him more. Name simple, familiar objects to the child. Do not laugh at the sounds that the child makes.

One day you may notice that your baby is afraid of a certain object: for example, dad's muskrat hat or mom's knitted mitten. How to deal with it? Hide an object that frightens a child or force a child to overcome his fear?

The child still cannot overcome fear, it is too weak. But there is no need to hide frightening objects. We must carefully show the child that there is nothing wrong with this subject. Let mom take dad’s “terrible” hat, hold it in her hand, show it on one side, on the other, even put it on her head. In this case, you need to talk to the child in a calm, quiet voice and not make sudden movements. The next day, try to lead the child to an object that is so terrible for him. If the baby rests, do not drag him by force. Better continue the session tomorrow.

In no case do not speed up the process of introducing a child to a “terrible” subject, do not show violence. Remain patient, otherwise you will make it many times worse and six months later you will be surprised: where does your child get neurosis from?

You yourself should not show in front of a child that you are afraid of something, for example, thunderstorms or darkness. Nature arranged it so that a child who does not yet have the necessary life experience looks at his mother and, by her reaction, understands how to react to this or that phenomenon. If, for example, a mother in front of a child pretended to be very afraid of something - some trinket, but at least a chicken - and the child would be afraid of this chicken.

In no case should you scare the child for "educational" purposes. For example, he got naughty and does not want to fall asleep or left some milk at the bottom of the bottle, and you try to influence the baby: “You don’t finish your meal, I’ll give you to the policeman!”. Or - in an orphanage, or - Baba Yaga, etc. This causes a chronic
chesky fear of strangers - he peers warily at unfamiliar guests, afraid to see them as a policeman or Baba Yaga.

Do not try to instill fear in a child and in relation to really dangerous objects - scissors, a sharp knife, a burning match, a gas stove. What is needed here is not fear, reasonable caution is appropriate here - inspired by a calm, even voice.

Never yell at a child!.. Of course, when he sees your such a violent negative reaction, he will understand that he was guilty of something, but the benefit of this understanding will be incomparably small compared to the harm that you bring to the child, making him nervous and timid.

By the eleventh month, your baby should already have six teeth: two on the bottom and four on the top. Although this is not the law for everyone. If the child does not yet have six teeth, you should consult a pediatrician to see if your baby suffers from rickets. You made sure that there is no rickets; so no need to worry. The child will catch up with his peers.

When should you start brushing your teeth? It is too early to brush your teeth, but it would be nice if you demonstrated this process to your child several times. The kid may be very surprised - what are you doing? And remember. Thus, as it were, he will prepare internally for the fact that he will have to brush his teeth.
After about a year, it will be possible to brush your baby's teeth when all the incisors - top and bottom - and a pair of molars have erupted.

When your child turns one year old, he should already ask for a potty. If you still don’t ask, blame only yourself for this and draw conclusions. Be more persistent in developing this skill.
You should know that the child's stool departs daily and at about the same time. At this particular time, you should have already prepared the pot.

By the end of the first year of life, the child should learn to urinate in the potty. Aren't you tired of this exhausting daily laundry?

How to teach a child to urinate in a potty? Try the following technique... When your child is awake, offer him a potty every hour. Just don't let your child sit on the potty too long. Put your baby on the potty every time before bed and after. The child will quickly figure out what exactly is required of him. Of course, he will wet his pants more than once, but in general, your efforts will not be in vain.

Every time you put your child on the potty, patiently explain to him what exactly you are trying to achieve. This is of great educational value. Your child is already developed enough to understand what you are saying to him. Even though he speaks only a few meaningful words.

You teach your child to urinate in the potty. Put on your baby now panties without diapers. Bring it to his attention. He himself will feel that he has become more spacious and free to move. Explain that it will be bad and unpleasant if the child suddenly wets his pants.

If you don’t have time to teach your child to urinate in a pot, and it’s much easier to use the same diapers, then you should be prepared for the fact that you will have to mess around with diapers for up to three or even four years.

What if the child, despite all the educational moments, continues to occasionally urinate in his pants?.. This, of course, should not be seen as a catastrophe. Do not swear at the child, do not reproach him, do not wave your arms at him and do not rush around the room like a tiger in a cage. Do not even raise your voice! .. Otherwise, you can frighten the child, he will become nervous and every time he wants to urinate, he will be afraid of this very act ... Patiently explain to the child "what is good and what is bad." Maybe even praise him. Say that last time he tried and did not put on his pants, but now he was not up to par. In case of failure, you can simply strictly remain silent. But in case of success - be very happy, rejoice defiantly, and try to make the child clearly understand the reason for your joy.

Hello! So, your little curious baby went to the tenth month of life. Several important stages have already been overcome: he is already crawling, sitting, saying his first words, trying to get up and already confidently standing at the support. Very soon the child will take the first independent steps. It's time to think about the first shoes in which you can walk on the street with your mother by the hand.

Now he will imitate you, your behavior, words, deeds. He wants to do “as big”, so he will try to press the buttons on the remote control or even repeat the word you like after you. It is important not to utter swear words in front of the child, from which it will later be difficult to wean. It is better to direct this "independence" and activity of the baby in the right direction. Have him repeat after you how to rock the bear, feed the dolls, or wash your hands.

At this age, children seem to be destructive: they can break toys, objects. But this is part of the knowledge of the world - the ability to find out what is inside, what different objects are made of.

It's time to understand the word "no". Now you can say this forbidding word to wrong actions, and it will be clear to the child. Just don't abuse it. And it is important to pronounce it really in the intonation that should be implied - without a smile. Otherwise, the child may misunderstand the word “no”.

Development at the tenth month of life

Now the growth of the child is already slowing down, in a month it will increase by about 1.5 cm. But he already has more confident control of the body, which allows him to learn new skills. Now it is interesting for him to climb all the hills he meets on the way: chairs, sofas. Now the main thing is to teach the child to descend correctly (legs down) - this will save him from falling with his head. Remove unstable furniture, make sure that he does not climb onto the windowsill.

A child at the tenth month of life is actively crawling, which allows him to move around the rooms and overcome obstacles. Thus, it becomes difficult to limit his space, so the house should be as safe as possible for him. Try to remove dangerous items and small parts from the bottom drawers.

It is noted that at the tenth month of life, a child can unclench his fingers, and this is a very important skill. If before he only grabbed objects, now he can throw them. Now he can throw toys and objects with all his might on the floor, so do not give the child fragile and breakable things.
Your baby is already sitting well, and you can do the first drawing lessons. Finger paints work best for this. As you draw together, pay attention to which hand is preferred. Right now you can notice your child is right-handed or left-handed. You should not try to retrain the left-hander, just give tasks for the right hand, and the right hand for the left. This gives development to both hemispheres of the brain equally. By the way, I recommend a wonderful early learning art course for toddlers. With the help of these video tutorials, you will not only teach your child to draw and express their emotions and impressions in drawings, but also help him develop faster and broaden his horizons.

The kid can stand on his feet for a long time, holding on to a support or the hands of an adult. And some children in the tenth month of life can already take their first steps at the support. This skill is very individual. Only a few skip the crawling period, immediately starting to walk. Basically, children prepare for an important event gradually. Soon the baby will begin to let go of the support and stand a little. Then, already emboldened, he will take the first timid steps.

Tenth month of a child's life: sleep

It's time for a change in your baby's sleep patterns. For some, one daytime nap is already enough, but in the evening they go to bed earlier. The morning rise then also slightly shifts to an earlier time. But, if there are two daytime sleeps, then the interval between them should be more than four hours. Otherwise, the baby will not get tired yet, and it will be quite difficult to lay him down. It is advisable to organize the child's daily routine so that it is laid at a certain time, then the awakening will be at the same hours.

At this age, a child in a dream can shudder, spin. But if, with the comfort created, the baby’s sleep is nervous, and wakes up in a bad mood, then this is a reason to seek advice from a neurologist. Perhaps this is how nervous disorders are manifested, which are best eliminated now. Read more about how to solve sleep problems in our free book. How to quickly put the child to sleep?. I recommend downloading and reading - I hope the book will help you improve your baby's sleep.

The tenth month of a child's life: nutrition and complementary foods

The nutrition of the child in the tenth month of life is five times a day. Includes all the same products as before. However, you can reduce the amount of breast milk in your diet. Nighttime breastfeeding is best left for now because many babies at this age still require it.

For breakfast, it is preferable to give porridge. You can diversify them by adding finely chopped fruits or dried fruits, herbal tea and bread are better. For lunch, vegetable soup or low-fat meat, fish broth. A meat dish with vegetables, such as stews. For dessert, yogurt or cottage cheese. Afternoon snack - a small snack with yogurt, bread or crackers. For dinner, you can stew vegetables or chop finely lettuce, give porridge, bread, a piece of cheese. Fried food should be banned for the time being, it is too heavy for a child's stomach.

If you plan to stop breastfeeding, do it gradually. First, you can replace the morning feeding with a full breakfast. Then already refuse the night - then at night it is better to give a fermented milk product. It is easily absorbed and does not interfere with children's sleep.

You already give most of the food to your baby from a spoon. He willingly eats when he is hungry, and refuses, even turns away when he is full. He is now showing interest in using the spoon on his own. You can give your baby a special spoon made of plastic. Let him try to eat himself, although it is unlikely to be good. Therefore, he can try to eat part of it on his own, and you will feed him most of it. Do not limit the freedom of the baby, he receives important life skills. Time will pass, and he will eat on his own and carefully.

Tenth month of a child's life: walks

Spend as much time as possible outdoors. During waking hours, tell your baby about everything that surrounds, focus on interesting things. In the tenth month of life, a child can focus on something specific: an airplane is flying, a dog is running, a bird has flown, a flower has blossomed. You can take the baby with you to the store or to visit.

The tenth month of a child's life: bathing, hardening, exercise

You can bathe a child in the tenth month of life every other day. But hardening procedures are best done daily. Now rubdowns are being replaced by water dousing. It is better to do it with a shower, starting with a water temperature of 36 degrees, gradually reducing to 28 degrees. First pour over the back, then the stomach and chest. After the procedure, dry the baby thoroughly. The best time for douching is from 16:00 to 19:00.
Be sure to do gymnastics, massage, air baths with your baby. You can read more about bathing, and about hardening -.

Tenth month of a child's life: speech

The set of words is not yet replenished too much. Words are still simple, more often they denote objects and people. The child actively tries to copy the sounds of adults. Talk to him more often, explain objects and actions. The role of parents is very important here. Praise the baby for well-pronounced words, and he will try even harder.

Tenth month of a child's life: teeth

The growth and eruption of teeth continues. By the tenth month of life, your baby may have approximately six teeth. It is important to pay attention to daily hygiene, continue to gently care for the baby's oral cavity. Otherwise, the teeth will begin to deteriorate, which means that expensive treatment will be needed and, possibly,

The tenth month of a child's life: toys and games

The child may have favorite toys or dolls that he willingly plays with, puts to bed, feeds. Games are now more meaningful. Soft toys in the form of animals and birds do not just show the child, tell them where they live, what sounds they make. The kid likes to roll balls and cars, to extract sounds from musical instruments.

Play finger games with your child and. Under unpretentious rhymes, he will easily remember the actions, and soon he will repeat them himself. This is how the meanings of words denoting actions, objects are remembered.

Of particular interest to the baby are adult things, such as dishes. Many children love to play with different bowls, pots, and baking dishes. It is also a form of knowledge of the surrounding world. Give him molds of different diameters and he will nest one inside the other. This is how the concept of "more - less" is formed.

Children in the tenth month of life are happy to look at large bright pictures in books. Read a fairy tale to your child, where the pictures depict the action. In general, joint reading of books from an early age greatly develops the child's speech reserve. Subsequently, he will speak more words and phrases, and it will also be easier to memorize various small works. Just do not leave books in the hands of the baby, unless they are intended for him, made of durable cardboard. A small destroyer can easily tear thin sheets of a beautiful bright book. By the way, I recommend that you download a free book "How to choose a toy by age?". It will help you make the right choice in the toy store, and not litter the nursery with those games and toys that the child will simply not be interested in due to specific age characteristics.

What should a 10 month old baby know?

Your child can already sit up and sit confidently and for a long time. Has mastered getting up at the support and can take several steps. Easily controlled by his small hands with objects, controls both hands. Now he does not just grab toys and objects, he can throw them. In a good mood, the child sings songs with pleasure and laughs, actively responds to the laughter of others. Toys now do not just exist for him, now he uses them for their intended purpose - rolls a ball and a car, tries to knock over a tumbler, extracts sounds from the first musical instruments.

It's time to gently introduce your child to the potty. Just do not force him to sit on the potty and do not scold him if the child does not do what you want - because for now he simply cannot control his feelings. The main battle for the pot is still ahead, the most suitable time for this will come much later - closer to two years. In the meantime, let him play for some time, showing on toys how to sit down and what to do. Let the child understand that this is not scary. Be patient, this process is not easy, but sooner or later your efforts will give results. Do not forget to praise the baby if he succeeds - this will be a great incentive to repeat the process.

And the last advice: do not lose optimism! The first, most difficult months in a child's life are already passing. Your baby is increasingly pleased with his achievements and successes, you have learned to understand each other. So enjoy every moment, and be sure to find time to take care of yourself and relax. Joy to you and prosperity!

Your baby is growing, and his speed is gaining momentum. Child racers - this is how you can characterize the kids during this period. Whatever they do - play, travel around the house - the little ones show energy and quickness. Children enjoy playing catch-up. If at the same time mom applauds and praises the little runner, he can repeat his "run" for an encore.

For the crumbs, it is not difficult to distinguish the mood of others. With some especially observant babies, jealousy attacks may even occur. The child may burst into tears if someone else is suddenly in the center of everyone's attention. At about the same age, the baby remembers current events better and copes with simple problems quite successfully. Try to put him an unloved food, as he will immediately push the spoon away. If you put a toy under your baby's blouse, he will immediately lift the bottom edge of the clothes, and the toy will fall out.

Learning to understand each other

Every day the baby understands the meaning of words better and better. When they ask him: “Where is mom?”, “Where is dad?”, He looks from one parent to another. The baby is already following simple commands and, having heard: “Give me a spoon”, holds it out. But it will be better if the mother reinforces her request with an outstretched hand or makes a request at a time when the son or daughter is looking at the spoon. For a kid, this is an interesting game, and if he once understood what to do, he will be happy to play again and again.

Starting to combine the sound of words with their meaning, the child builds his figurative dictionary. And although most of the baby's babble may be just sound play, the baby is already beginning to say some words in the appropriate context. The first words of a nine-month-old peanut are likely to be words denoting loved ones, or those with which mother accompanies habitual actions.

At this very early "conversational" stage, parents play a major role. If mom and dad react to a successful attempt by a baby to say a word with stormy delight and increased attention to their speaking child, the child begins to understand that it is correct to use words. When the baby fulfills a verbal request and his intelligence is noted by parental enthusiasm, he will try even harder.

In games, the child also seeks to interact with parents. Playing the “phone” will bring great joy to the baby. Take a toy phone and take turns talking into the phone with your son or daughter. Mom imitates a call, picks up the phone and comes up with some short phrases, like: “Hi, how are you? Are you eating porridge?" Then he hands the phone to the child and says: “Now you talk.” Very soon, the baby will get used to the phone and will definitely mutter some of his “phrases” before hanging up.

Baby motor skills at 10 months

By 10 months, most babies crawl well. Now they have to master another type of movement - a bear walk (on all fours). This is a kind of transitional step from a crawling man to a walking man.

The kid learns to maneuver between obstacles on outstretched arms and legs. Having reached the goal, the child carefully straightens up and begins to walk along suitable objects. Such training is good for his muscles and joints. It helps to evenly load the legs and feet and gradually develop a sense of balance.

However, at a time when some children noticeably show their new motor skills - stand, move, climb stairs, get off the sofa, others, according to worried parents, seem to freeze in their development. If your baby belongs to the second category, you should not worry: all babies have peaks and relative declines.
