Many nine-month-old children already know how to stand alone or even walk by their feet. They take their first steps and probably thought about shoes. But the child does not need shoes at home. No matter how much you want to wear it in sandals, you should not do it at home. Walking barefoot on the various textures of the apartment (parquet, tile, carpet), the child develops a sense of balance.

If the child still does not sit down on his own, then consult a doctor. The main thing is not to miss the neurological pathology, which often manifests only at the end of the first year of life. Many diseases that were formed in utero cannot be diagnosed immediately after birth.

According to the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO) in 9 months, the child needs to be fed food pieces. If before you are using a blender or ready homogeneous mashed potatoes, then with 9 months from them it is worth noting. Simply boil the vegetables and knead them with a fork (so that the pieces are safe). So the child will get used to the fact that the food does not have a uniform structure. In addition, this is an important stage for the development of the maxillofacial apparatus in principle and the formation of the chewing process in particular. Do not over tighten with this.

Traveling with the child now becomes more difficult. He does not like to go beyond the familiar environment and things. A banal trip to the guests can appeal with tears. But after a while, the baby gets used, understands that the mother is nearby, and quietly plays in unfamiliar surroundings. In addition, he can often check, looking around, whether you are here. It is important for him to know that close people are close and he is safe.

The baby is already well-versed in a familiar environment. He knows exactly where his toys are lying, where books are, how the room in the apartment is located. Many freely creep around the apartment, and therefore the whole apartment should be a safe zone for children.

He knows who Mom and Dad are, and recognizes himself in the mirror. He begins to realize himself as a separate person. This is an important stage in growing up.

At this time the child:

♦ He sits down and quietly sits alone.

♦ Can move in different ways: crawling on all fours, sitting, on knees fashion (on the stomach).

♦ Many can stand on their own and move along it.

♦ Take a few steps, holding the adult's hand.

♦ To give an object to the request "give" and take to the request "on".

♦ Can show some parts of the body: nose, mouth, eyes (while on the face of the parent)

♦ Onomatopoeia may appear: it tries to imitate sounds and speech.

♦ Take the pieces of food from the plate yourself.

He actively moves around the house, so the whole apartment should be as safe as possible. Be sure to lock all household chemicals on the lock. Children are much faster than you think, can swallow a plate cleaner or taste a washing powder. This is extremely dangerous! All household chemicals should be stored in a place inaccessible to the child.

 

All kinds of steaming games are the basis of classes at this age. Please note that the details must be large so that the child cannot swallow them, and safe - by composition and color. Most children will want to try on the tooth bright and beautiful details of the designer, sorter or logic puzzle.

Emotionally encourage the child for any attempt to properly perform the action. This will support his self-confidence and encourage him to strive for more.

The sight of the child is almost consistent with the adult. He can see well both far and near, can focus the look and watch the fast moving object. Hands and eyes are coordinated, motor skills develop along with vision. For example, a baby can see a toy on the other side of the room and creep towards it.

Sleep of the baby is about 12-16 hours a day. Some children can sleep for 2 hours a day in a row, while others sleep for 20-30 minutes, but several times.

The hearing of the child is already well developed. He knows his name and responds to it. If you ask "Where's Daddy?", He tries to look for Dad with his eyes.

Try to pronounce the name of things. The child begins to understand that everything has its own name. He will very soon identify words with objects. Now there is a process of accumulation of a passive vocabulary. Very soon, when the baby starts talking, these words will come in handy.

The child understands how to attract your attention. Try to communicate more with him, so he learns more about his native language. Now he is developing his independence. It is necessary to encourage this aspiration, and very soon you will be surprised to your adult growing up.

Now is the time of manifestation of the child's temperament. Some are calm and balanced, others, on the contrary, mischievous pranksters. Some are smiling and cheerful, others are shy and modest. Whatever was your baby - he has his own opinion on what is happening.
