How to plan early education for a 4-month-old baby?
Action
At 4 months of age, the baby can support his upper body and head with his head. When he is lying on his back, he can raise his head 90 degrees and begin to turn over. (from supine to lateral and gradually to prone) He can sit with support and play with the rattle with his hands.
Early education highlights:
It is the best time to train your baby’s developmental ability at four months of age. Parents can let the baby sit on their laps and place a toy near the baby’s ankle. So he can play and kick it to train his legs.
Language
This month, the communication with your baby will become a lot smoother. When the baby is happy, he will laugh out loud; when someone talks to him, he makes a cooing sound as if he is talking back.
Early education highlights:
Besides speaking to your baby, you can also sing to your baby.
Cognition:
This month, your baby will have a short-term memory of whatever he sees. He will tend to find the things he has just seen. At the end of the month, your baby can distinguish between male and female voices and distinguish whether the father or the mother is talking to him.
Early education highlights:
Play peek-a-boo with your baby. Cover your face with your hand so that your baby can’t see your face, then put your hands down immediately and say: baby, I am here! Your baby will giggle with laughter.
Social:
By four months old, your baby will respond to other children and adults with a social smile. He would be very happy if his brother or sister is talking to him.
