Why do you have to learn to dress?
Perhaps parents think that when children grow up, they naturally know to wear clothes and shoes; But don't forget that children are required to take care of themselves when they enter the park, including dressing independently, wearing shoes independently, going to the toilet independently and so on. Will you be indifferent when your children are anxious and feel inferior because they find that they can't dress faster than other children? The answer is no. So, why not help your baby learn to do these things at home? Here's how to train your baby to dress, wear pants and shoes. Do you work hard with the baby?
How to let the baby learn to dress by himself and how to teach the baby to dress?
Steps to learn to dress
In the first step, when the baby just starts to learn to dress, parents can help the baby hold the clothes and adjust the position so that the baby's hand can reach into the sleeve smoothly. Say "stretch your left hand" and "change your right hand" while wearing it, and let the baby do it according to the description. This will make the baby feel that the whole dressing process is done by himself and enhance the baby's self-confidence. Of course, baby's clothes should be simple and easy to wear. When the baby grows up, parents just need to move their mouths and guide the baby to dress with their mouths. Let the baby do it alone in the future. After getting dressed, the mother had better hold the baby in her arms and kiss it, and then praise the baby for doing well. Let the baby feel that dressing up is also a very pleasant thing.
The second step, the baby learns anything, as long as it is combined with the game, it will have a multiplier effect. For example, a mother can put her baby's little hand into her sleeve and say, "Oh, I can't see the baby's hand." "Have you touched her hand?" "Oh, I see, hehe", kiss the baby's hand, "change another hand", and then play hide-and-seek game. This kind of game is usually enjoyed by babies. The baby will feel no trouble in the process of dressing.
The third step, dressing competition. Babies also like to compare with others. If they can win the comparison, they will be very happy. Mom and dad should also create such comparative opportunities for their babies. Mom and dad can take part in the dress competition. When they get up in the morning to get dressed, they deliberately pretend that they can't find their sleeves and their socks are crooked, but they have to issue a warning from time to time that "Mom and Dad are going to get dressed", so that the baby can giggle and speed up involuntarily. Let the baby win more times in the competition, satisfy the baby's self-esteem and maintain the baby's interest in dressing.
The baby is wearing his own coat.
Some of the baby's coats are buttoned at the front and some are pullovers. Wearing a pullover is more troublesome. Parents can teach their baby to wear clothes with buttons on the front first, and then teach him to wear pullovers. Usually, when the baby is about 1 year old, he can be dressed. At the beginning, parents can stimulate their baby's enthusiasm for cooperation by playing games. For example, let the baby learn to put his arm into his sleeve. You can say, "The baby's little hand is going to drill into the hole." Slowly, the baby will consciously put his arm in.
Teaching your baby to learn to button requires more detailed guidance from parents. First, tell the baby the steps of buttoning: first put half of the button into the buttonhole, then pull the other half of the button, and repeat it several times with a slow demonstration action, then let the baby operate it himself and correct the baby's incorrect action in time. Secondly, you can also let the baby practice on the doll. In addition, pay attention to let the baby buckle from the button below to prevent the baby from buttoning the wrong button.
When wearing a pullover, you should first teach your baby to distinguish the front and back of the clothes. The part with label on the collar is the back of the garment, the part with pocket is the front of the garment, the part with sewing thread is the inside of the garment, and the part without sewing thread is the outside of the garment. Then, teach the baby how to wear a pullover: first put your head into the big hole on it, then put your arms into the small holes on both sides and pull the clothes down. Pay attention to the baby's pullover neckline must be loose. Some babies are timid, afraid of the dark and boring, so they will resist wearing pullovers very much. Parents can let their baby watch the process of wearing a pullover more, or play hide-and-seek with the baby when wearing a pullover to reduce the baby's inner fear.
The baby wears pants by himself.
Learning to wear pants, just like learning to wear a coat, begins with understanding the inside and outside of pants. The belt with the label is at the back, and the beautiful pattern is at the front. Teach the baby to put his trousers face up on the bed, then put one leg into one leg to expose his little feet, then put the other leg into the other leg to expose his feet, then stand up and pull up his trousers. At the beginning, the baby will inevitably make some small mistakes, such as wearing his pants backwards, or putting his legs in one leg at the same time. At this time, parents should not rush to correct it, but ask the baby if he is uncomfortable first, or take him to the mirror to let him "appreciate" his appearance. So the baby can find out the cause of the mistake and then let him wear it. In order to consolidate the baby's understanding of the structure of pants, parents can also make some mistakes on purpose when they wear pants. For example, turn the pants upside down to see if the baby can find the mistake or ask the baby to help. "Why is it uncomfortable for mom to wear pants? Can the baby help her see what is wrong? " After the baby finds the mistake, it is necessary to praise the baby in time for being smart and capable, so that the baby can experience the joy of success. Some babies are not interested in wearing their own clothes and pants. Parents can compete with their babies to see who can wear clothes quickly and well, and use their competitiveness to promote their babies' learning.
