Child Parenting within the First Year of Age. What to Start With?

Child parenting is one of the most important tasks of any parent and from the very birth he should start developing their kid’s healthy habits he would successfully use in his adult life.

Within the first 12 months of life baby develops

- skills of tidiness;
- basic form of moral and aesthetic education;
- both good and bad habits;
- emotinal development;
- culture of communication.

Child parenting during the first year of life can be divided into 4 stages

- parenting up to 3 months;
- parenting up to 6 months;
- parenting to 9 months;
- parenting up to a year.

Within the first stage up to 3 months baby’s positive habits must be developed as well as the appearance of harmful habits should be prevented.

During the first three months of life the child must learn to:

- fall sleep while outdoors without a pacifier;
- fall asleep not being rocked if possible;
- stay in bed time for a little while alone and entertain on his own;
- somehow give you a sign that his diaper must be changed;
- not to suck fingers;
- orient in space by means of sound and vision.

In the period from 3 to 6 months of age, the child further improves his sensory development. At this stage, you need to prepare him for the future speech.

Within the period between 6 and 9 months of age, the child becomes very active. Baby starts crawling, sitting down, getting up in the crib, some babies begin to walk. Therefore, baby’s correct physical development is the most important at this age.

Try to train your child to use a potty.

When you start feeding your little one solids, be sure to use bibs while feeding.

Within the fourth stage, up to 1 year of age, the baby continues his physical and speech development. At this age you must help your child to gradually walk on his own. So at first walk holding his both hands and later – just one. Encourage your baby's desire to stand wherever he pleases.
