Babies aged 1-3 years old have developed rapidly both physically and mentally.
At this stage,Parents and babies should participate in parent-child activities together for at least 30 minutes a day
It will help the baby's own ability development, and at the same time, it will also healthy the baby's psychology and keep the baby in a positive and confident attitude.
Parents need to have a clear understanding of themselves, that is:Parents are their baby's most important playmates
At this age, babies are moreParent-child attachment, has not yet transitioned to peer attachment and does not have that high demand for socialized interpersonal interactions.
Many parents take their babies to play, and the babies play with their own, and the parents are swiping their mobile phones next to them, or telling a few words, be careful not to fall.
Such accompaniment is ineffective accompaniment!
The parents are not involved, they are just bystanders, they see themselves as the baby's nanny, only responsible for taking care of the baby's life, and do not see themselves as the baby's companions.
Why do we spend so much time and energy on parent-child activities with our babies?
Some parents often forget who is the leader of the game when they have parent-child activities with their babies.
There are also parents who like to prescribe what to play and how to play for their babies, always with educational purposes.
For example, some parents want to cultivate their baby's fine motor hand-eye coordination, and will take their baby to play with beads.
This game may be liked by the baby girl, but the baby boy may not like it, if you have to ask him to string beads, he will definitely not do it.
Although parents are the baby's playmates, they should also ensure the safety of the baby during the activity and do not let the baby play some dangerous activities.
But parents should not magnify infinitely, to limit the baby's actions, can only do this and not that.
At the same time, parents should meet the baby's needs for parent-child activities in a timely manner.
For example, if the baby wants to draw, the parents will provide the painting materials; The baby likes sports, so parents should take him outdoors more and provide outdoor products such as balls and ropes.
Parents provide high-quality play activities for their babies, and the parent-child relationship with their babies will also be well developed.

anthills or anthills; paper, pencils and crayons; Ant farm (a toy that mimics the living space of ants, optional); Magnifying glass.

5.Ask questions to highlight your curiosity about this group of strange creatures:
Hey, they're all looking for breadcrumbs. How do they know there's bread crumbs there? Do they communicate with each other? ”

The intent of the activity
You, the children, and the ants, this is a mini-safari and a nature study.

Mathematics in Playing Cards
You need
A deck of playing cards.
Preparation
Draw the "face cards" (j, q, k) and place them on the table.
Talk to your child about these cards and compare the "King" (K), "Queen" (Q) and "Squire" (J) in what suits.
Look at the number cards too, what numbers and patterns are on them?
How to do it
1.Divide the deck into two stacks, one for you and the child. You can take turns splitting cards one by one.
2.The two men put their cards face down and slammed them upside down in front of them.
3.The two men took out the top one of their stacks and placed it face up in the middle of the table.
If you see a "j" played, both people have to rush to reach out to cover the "j", and whoever covers it first will be the one who plays all the cards played in the middle of the table.
If two "jacks" are played, whoever covers one of them first will be the one who is played.
If the "j" is not played, leave the card in the middle of the table and continue playing until the "j" appears.
4.If one of the cards is played, then the game is over. Or set your own rules for the end of the game.
Follow-up activities
Choose to cover any of the other cards, either "4" or "A".
The intent of the activity
To play this game, the child must quickly recognize the "J".
He has to notice the attributes of the "j" in an instant and understand that only by seeing the "j" does he need to act.
Eventually, he realizes that there are four "jacks" in a deck and comes up with a solution.
Sometimes the child makes the mistake of covering a card that is not a "j".
At this point, you have to stop the game, talk about the properties of the "j", and put the cards back in.
Even if the child knows exactly what the "j" is, he will sometimes mess around.
Adults may think that the child wants to win in this way, but in fact, it is more likely that the child pauses and forgets the rules.
At this time, remind the child what the card to cover is, or stop the game and do something else to calm the child.
You can find cards with the same number, build a house of cards, and play a game of guessing the suit (red or black cards next?). ）。
Further
It is possible to play the more difficult "See the King".
This game requires the player to react to all the "face cards".
The player sees "J" and reaches for the cover, sees "Q" and says "Good morning, ma'am", and bows when he sees "K".
Whoever is the first to make these moves wins the cards on the table.
Tips
Make use of the playing cards as much as possible so that your child has the opportunity to study and play cards.
In games such as assortment and solitaire, children will better remember the pattern, number and suit of each card.
Let's play together
You need
Two or more participants; A leather ball (or a balloon if the child is young).
Preparation
Let your child play with balls and balloons.
How to do it
1.Have participants stand together with one of them holding the ball.
2.Everyone counts to three, and the person with the ball throws it into the air.
3.Participants take turns hitting the ball into the air without letting it hit the ground. Each person has no more than two consecutive strokes.
4.Play until everyone gets tired, or the ball falls to the ground.
Follow-up activities
Design something new to play - touch the ball with only your knees, or just put your head on the balloon.
See how many times you can catch the ball in a row without landing on the ground.
How do two people dribble without hands and feet?
The intent of the activity
The members of this team work together towards a common goal.
They don't compete with each other, not to compete, but to contribute their own strength and make the team go further. The result doesn't matter.
This type of game focuses on having fun with the game itself, running around, laughing and shouting, and is not intended to show off individual skill.
Further
Any physical activity, especially those that may be played by children as confrontational, can be carried out in a non-confrontational format.
Not to win or lose, just to have fun.
Change the rules and play freely so that every child can experience it.
When your child relaxes, they can have fun.
That way, maybe when it's time to actually play against him, he'll be able to perform better.
Tips
If parents are competitive, their children will not be outdone.
If you want your child to look at winning and losing with a normal mind, and be happy with or without competition, what parents can do is to simulate various situations that may arise on the field.
Make a list of rules of thumb with your child to face praise, derogation, over-competition, victories, and defeats.
