Strengthen your relationship with him from the first months of life.
HOW TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR BABY?
How you relate to your child and the efficiency of your communication with him depends on you. We know that it is difficult to help your child learn to adapt if you do not learn to observe gestures and interpret them in the context in which they are expressed.
A mom who is busy all day or overprotects him by preventing him from taking the initiative limits the need for relationships. On the other hand, giving you the attention and being willing to respond with affection give you confidence, satisfaction and a feeling of having skills to explore new learning.
That is why it is essential not to rush to give what the child needs, tell him what to do or decide what he is going to play. Here we give you several exercises that you can do at home.
Mom observing:
1. The ability to observe allows you to detect what is striking your child. Changes in his facial and body expressions show his interest. If you want to listen you must be silent, you cannot hear your child if you are talking.
2. In the case of facial gestures, sometimes they are not enough to understand what they are trying to tell you. That’s why you should pay attention to subtle data, such as the rhythm of breathing, alertness, any change in skin color, as well as the intensity, volume and timbre of your voice.
3. It is common for some moms to take their children to the mirror and insist that the baby look and learn to identify with it. Many children, in this situation, avoid their image and turn to another direction; it is then that the mother insists, raising her voice or tapping the mirror. This is just the moment when you will see what captures his attention and you will be able to see what other object he wants to know. Give your child the opportunity to choose his learning.
Mom let the baby take the initiative
1. The pace of life today makes parents so busy that they limit their child’s learning. When a mom gives her child a toy, she is almost always waiting for her to use it according to the directions on the package. If you allow him to investigate and manipulate to his liking and intuition, toys will be a means of communication.
Mom talking face to face
1. When as a mom you place yourself at the same height as the baby and look him in the eye, you give him the opportunity to see how he moves his mouth when he pronounces the words, the gestures he makes and observes what he sees. This action will give your child the feeling that you are interested in and always ready to listen to him.
Mum imitating
1. One of the best ways to relate to a baby is by imitating their sounds, expressions, movements, and half words. Your child will know that you are looking to establish a conversation with him.
These tips will help create a bond of trust and know how to communicate with your baby to create a very important bond for the emotional development of your child.
