So the content of this issue is: children always like to "eat their hands"? It is the "tactile sensitive period", so the guidance will become smart! Then let's take a look!
Many children do the same thing when they are very young: eat their hands. Whenever and wherever, they should put their little hands in their mouths to feel their feelings, just like eating food. Instead of eating their hands, they put some toys in their mouths.
The phenomenon that children like to "eat their hands" is a headache for parents, because even if they stop once, they will naturally do so next time.
When the child begins to "eat hands", it means that his "tactile sensitivity period" has arrived. They can't have a deep understanding of the outside world like us adults, and they can only perceive the world through their own tactile system. Mouth and hands are the "secret weapons" that make them feel the fastest in the world.
If parents can't guide them correctly, they may have a sense of tactile dullness. Excessive protection will lead to children's lack of opportunities to contact the environment and affect the development of children's tactile recognition ability.
Some children often fall and bleed after falling or colliding, but they don't feel pain. Some children don't even feel pain when the weather is cold or hot. These are all caused by the lack of correct guidance.
Touch includes information such as temperature, touch and pain. Children understand the world through their body senses (such as mouth and hands). They rely on touch to get information and promote brain development. For children, the tactile sensitive period is mainly within 1 to 3 years old, which is very important.
Specifically, they become sensitive when they touch soft objects; They like to make every effort to perceive the world. They know the existence of hands by eating them.
When you hand a new toy to your child, the first thing he has to do is not to play with it, but to put it in his mouth to identify it.
Many parents will choose to stop this behavior when they see their children stuffing things into their mouths, but in fact, this is just the way children understand things.
Even if the child is sitting, he can easily put everything that can be put into his mouth to eat. This action of "grasping" and "eating" brought him endless happiness and became the best way for children to know the world at the earliest.
When you put your child on the bed, even if there are no toys on the bed, he will put a corner of the sheet or pillow in his mouth to taste. Then his little hand will attract the things in his mouth and throw them away, and start eating his hands seriously.
Studies have shown that in early infancy, there are more nerve endings in the mouth than fingertips, and the sensitivity of detecting objects is higher than that of fingers, so children will feel the surrounding environment more with their mouths at first. With the development of fine hand movements, they begin to explore the world with their hands, which can improve the tactile acuity of their hands and is also conducive to the development of children's intelligence.
When your child begins to learn to walk, he will be interested in the things around him and often ask adults, "What is this?" The way they explore is to rely on the various senses of the body to complete recognition.
For example, if you give your child a strawberry, the child will see its color and red first, and it is sharp; Then feel the touch of strawberry through touch, feel the taste of strawberry through smell, and finally feel the juicy and sweet characteristics of strawberry with tongue.
Children with sensitive sense of touch are particularly sensitive to cold and heat. They don't want to wash their hair, face or haircut, or even change clothes. It itches very much.
As for the dull child, he didn't feel crushed and bleeding, held his face, and didn't even get the needle that all children were afraid of.
Tactile dependence is between dull touch and sensitive touch. It is difficult to wean. Even when she grows up, she still likes to drink water from a bottle and nipple, or put her fingers in her mouth to bite. The second performance is attached to the objects I have used, such as small towels and quilts. Third, I like to meet strangers, even lick others with my tongue, and finally I like to rely on others or furniture.
Parents can gently rub their children's limbs and back with cloths or brushes made of different materials to enhance the tactile stimulation effect and let them catch or bite some toys made of different materials.
Parents can also encourage their children to touch with their hands, such as household towels, clothes, sweaters or furniture, plastics, sponges, etc.
Parents can use empty bottles and various stick-like objects, and then wrap them with different materials such as stockings, towels, non-slip socks and new oil-resistant rags. They can also use steel ropes made of cotton, hemp, wool, fiber ropes and nylon ropes to make small tactile sticks for children to grasp, or use the tactile sticks to gently slide on the children's palms, soles, arms and arms. Leg, and pay attention to his reaction.
At the same time, parents should give him descriptions, such as smooth and tricky adjectives. Of course, you can also stick these materials together to block objects and let children touch them.
You can also use different materials and different roughness to spread the floor at home, such as plastic, cloth, wood floor, fluffy cotton cloth and so on. Provide a small environment for children to crawl and promote their growth in the process. The development of touch.
Parents wash their hands with cold water, warm water and slightly warmer water to let their children experience different temperatures. Parents should alternately put their children's hands in the water and let them close and open in the water.
Or parents can prepare six plastic bottles, pour water with different temperatures into the bottles, and let the children gently touch the small bottles with their hands, so that the children can feel which bottle is cold and which bottle is hot, which can not only promote the development of touch, but also let the children distinguish the different degrees of temperature and cold and hot.
Parents can also put toys, other materials, objects with different shapes and hardness in cloth bags, so that children can take toys or objects out of the holes while blindfolded, and exercise their ability to judge things by touch. When the child grows up, parents should change the items in the bag.
Parents should take their children to nature more often. You can expose him to all kinds of natural things, such as mud, stones, tree trunks, leaves, grass and the fur of small animals, and you can also prepare some small toys for him to play in sand and water. Kneading in the mud will increase children's fun.
In addition, let children blow their hair outdoors and get wet in the rain, so that they can feel the softness of water flowing through their skin. These are all interesting and effective ways to improve the sense of touch. Parents may wish to give it a try.
Many parents will continue to disturb their children's touching behaviors. For example, they want to know about the electric kettle, and many children will learn about it by touching it.
Many parents will condemn loudly when they see their children touching the electric kettle: "What are you doing?" "Do you want to burn your hand?" Don't tell them to be safe, or I can talk to you?
When children are young, they are full of curiosity about everything. They see adults drinking tea, so are they curious about the taste of tea that adults drink?
Therefore, when adults rush tea into the teacup, children will reach out and grab the teacup. In many cases, adults will stop children's behavior without telling them.
But in fact, you can help your child hold the cup to his mouth and let him taste it himself. If it tastes bad, he won't touch your teacup next time. This method not only satisfies the children's exploration psychology, but also ensures that they will not be scalded by tea when grasping the teacup.
It can be seen that the parents who are raising their children are doing their best. In order to cultivate children and make them better, parents also rack their brains. The children are young and inexperienced in the external environment. They must keep in touch with the outside world and develop their senses to develop their intelligence.
Therefore, when the child's "tactile sensitive period" comes, parents' blind obstruction and interference will not let the child grow up. It is the last word to guide children correctly, change their perspective, change their way of thinking, and look at problems from their perspective, so as to grow up with children.
