My little grandson is four and a half years old.
Over the past four years, he has grown from a wailing newborn to a childish, ignorant little boy. From learning to speak, to memorize poems and recite books, from toddling, to leaping and jumping, constantly progressing, growing and surprising. In fact, in this process, in the caretaking, serving and accompanying, I also learned a lot of things, enriched some knowledge, and became a grandparent at the same time, but also set off a new chapter.
Learned a few things about toddler health. For example, he was just born not long ago, drinking milk often choking, I consulted the information, told my son and daughter-in-law, first of all, in the hungry, first give him a mouthful of warm water to relieve, and then drink milk will not be easy to choke. And that's why I don't feed them when I'm too full, and I don't feed them when I'm excited, and when I'm holding them, I have to lay them on their sides and hold them at an angle.
Another example is the hiccups, when he ate quickly or ate cold, he kept hiccuping, and looked at him with his face open and his mouth trembling from time to time, and he was very distressed and anxious. Rush to check the information, found that three strokes to fix: hold him upright, gently pat the back, can relieve the occurrence of hiccups. Not yet, after the first pick up, gently scratching stimulate the soles of his feet, let him cry and laugh a little, which can make the diaphragm contraction suddenly stop, so as to stop hiccups. You can also tease him with brightly colored toys that make sounds to distract him and stop the hiccups.
Learned a bit about toddler psychology. For example, I found that the child, from the age of one year or so, in front of us, does not cry, moderate, very obedient, very obedient, and play especially happy. But as soon as his mother is off work, or with her mother, it's like a different person, and pampered, and willful. What is the reason for this? Through access to information that, from the beginning of the maternal body, the mother is his closest people, in front of the mother pampering capricious, one is to obtain a sense of security, small children and adults alike, in front of their most trustworthy people so that she can put down her inner baggage, will be the most real side of the show. Secondly, it highlights the sense of existence, the child's emotional expression is more sincere and simple, to the favorite person to release the signal to make some noise, so that she is more concerned about their own. Understand these, we have to be extra caring for him, and his mother will not blame him too much, so that the young heart to enjoy the soothing.
Learned about toddler behavior. I'm not sure what I'm talking about, but I'm not sure what I'm talking about," he said. Through the information that tearing paper belongs to the normal process of hand function development, in the 6 to 8 months of age of infants, both hands tearing the paper issued by the sound as well as the joy of a tear into two can make the baby interested. In addition, when tearing paper, both hands wrists rotate forward and backward at the same time to try the joy of two-handed movement, belonging to the hand-brain coordination of both hands with the exercise and development process. Understanding these, we no longer stop, but just watch him not to mouth, do not have dangerous action can be.
Another example is the throwing of things, from the beginning of the station, he loves toys, books, etc. to throw under the bed, he threw the front, we will pick up in the back. The information shows that the baby loves to throw things belong to the normal phenomenon, is in order to obtain the ability of spatial orientation, positional orientation, through throwing objects, determine the relationship between themselves and space, is a phenomenon inevitably experienced in the process of development. After understanding this, we do not reprimand, do not stop, but to participate together, to guide. We put a box in front of us and threw the objects into the box to see who threw them accurately, so that he could have more fun throwing them, know how to organize the objects, and cultivate a close relationship with adults, turning throwing into a very interesting game.
Learned some nursery rhymes and songs. To coax children, you have to use rhythms, words and actions that they are comfortable with. So I memorized the "children's songs and nursery rhymes 50", when holding him, you can "shake, shake, shake, shake, a shake to Grandma Bridge, Grandma praised me good baby, sugar a packet, a packet of fruit, and cake and cake, the baby ate haha smile." When you sit on my lap, you can sing, "Pulling the big saw, pulling the big saw, singing a big opera in front of grandma's door, picking up your daughter and son-in-law, little grandson, you go too." When spring comes, you can sing "Spring is here, spring is here, the flowers on the branches are fragrant, the swallows on the beams are making noise, the cows and the sheep are happy." When you see the moon, you can sing, "The moon bends up to the sky, the cow's horn bends on both sides, the sickle bends to cut the grass, the plow bends to plow the field." The communication and inspiration is natural and he is always cooperative and happy.
In order to shape his good enlightenment and standardized behavior, I recited the Three Character Classic and the Disciple's Rules again.
Particularly happy is that he followed the car music and square dance dance music, learned some of the net red songs, such as "listen to me say thank you", "you smile really good", "drunken butterflies" and so on, he will sing, I still do not understand, and can not reach the interaction, so I promptly to Baidu on the search, the search I also learn, more than two years down the road, I even learned a dozen of new songs, and also the new wave of the one.
Changed some bad habits. adult life is sometimes barbaric, speech and demeanor is no longer so polite. Once, shortly after he went to kindergarten, I pointed at him and said something, he said to me very solemnly, "Grandpa, the kindergarten teacher said, can not use one finger to point to the children, that is not polite, to five fingers together, this - like -. -." Demonstrate as you speak. I watched and was very touched, since then, I really changed the problem of one finger pointing at people, five fingers together became a habit. He also often sang "standing with a standing phase, sitting with a sitting phase", while correcting his sitting posture, while correcting my sitting posture, both naive and benefited from it.
Philosophers say: "Knowledge comes from practice." Chairman Mao Zedong also said, "Learn war from war." During the past few years, I have learned that in watching Sun Tzu learn to watch Sun Tzu. People, they have to do what they do, learn what they learn, learn by doing, and learn by doing. Like children, with a strong sense of curiosity, with a strong desire to learn, constantly good at discovering problems, thinking about problems, seeking to solve problems, solving problems. There is no end to learning!
