The sensitive period is a natural growth stage for babies during their physical growth and development, which involves learning and exploration. Most of them will appear around the age of one in babies. Seizing the baby's sensitive period can greatly enhance their understanding and expression of many things. Some mothers are more concerned about the sensitive period of 16 month old children.
1. Language sensitive period
Most 16 month old babies begin to experience a period of language sensitivity. At this stage, babies will show a clear interest in the language that appears in their surrounding environment, whether it is Mandarin or English. Mothers can guide their babies to learn clear language pronunciation at this stage and form patient guidance to help them start learning to speak.
2. Reading sensitive period
Many 16 month old babies have already entered the early childhood education stage, and many mothers will prepare many different picture books and books for their babies at this stage. The sensitive reading period will make babies curious and explore more words and pictures in books, which is also the best stage to guide babies to start memorizing some words and pictures.
At 16 months old, children go through a period of language sensitivity, reading sensitivity, muscle sensitivity, and perfect sensitivity, which is a crucial stage for their growth. So mothers can promote the growth and development of their babies' bodies and brains in various ways, thereby promoting the enlightenment of early childhood education for babies.
