2-3 year old babies are really young adults. Look at them: they are walking close to adult posture, with their heels landing on the ground before their toes; You can walk backwards and take big turns; When leaving, you can also do other things, such as using your hands, speaking, or looking around; He runs very smoothly and is more coordinated. He can also kick the ball and change its direction of travel; Can jump and climb off the ground with both feet; Can also climb up and down stairs on their own; Can ride a tricycle. It is worth mentioning that the age of 2-3 is a crucial period for cultivating a baby's balance. It is recommended to play some small games with the baby to exercise their balance.
Step on a 'stone'
Do you still remember the feeling of crossing the river by stepping on stones - being careful to maintain body balance. Stepping on stones is a good way to exercise children's balance and coordination abilities. Prepare colored paper, cut it into circular patterns, and spread them on the floor. Imagine with your baby: the floor is a small lake, and the circular paper scattered on it are the "small stones" on the surface of the lake. Only by stepping on these "stones" can you walk to the other side of the lake and get the strawberries (or toys that your baby likes) on the other side. If you don't step on the 'stone' and fall into the lake, the strawberry on the other side of the lake will decrease by one. At the beginning of this game, parents can hold the baby's hand. After getting familiar with it, let him go on his own and give him a process of adaptation and learning.
2. Shoot balloons
Chasing soap bubbles and balloons to make babies happy may surprise many parents. Babies experience endless fun while running, chasing, grabbing, scratching soap bubbles, and pushing balloons up to prevent them from falling. This game not only exercises the baby's coordination, but also improves their reaction ability. When the balloon is about to fall, quickly pat it. This requires the baby to have quick reaction ability and be able to complete compound movements.
3. Walk in a straight line
Place a strap on the floor of the room and let the baby walk along it. For babies aged two or three, this is a very difficult task, but it can greatly exercise their balance and coordination abilities. In fact, the game of walking in a straight line is not entirely limited to the home. When taking the baby out on weekdays, you can hold the baby's hand and let them walk along a straight line on the sidewalk. You can also draw a straight line with chalk in the park for the baby to walk along. When playing this game outside, be sure to pay attention to safety and avoid danger due to focusing on playing the game.
4. Dancing
Most families have to prepare dinner and deal with a troublesome baby at night. At this time, why not arrange for the baby to dance? It can not only release their energy, but also make them happy and exercise their body. Play your baby's favorite music and let them dance freely, regardless of whether they are wearing shoes, jumping onto the bed, sofa, or rolling on the floor. As long as the baby is happy, let them go.
5. Step down the stairs alternately with both feet
Let the baby accompany the adult up and down the stairs. At first, their body balance may be insufficient, so they need to stand steadily on the first step with both feet before taking a step down. After practicing multiple times, my body balance has improved, and I am now able to walk down stairs alternately with one foot on the railing. Adults should protect themselves under the stairs just in case. Attention: Babies will be very happy as soon as they learn to go up and down stairs. Sometimes, when adults are not around, they will open the door to learn how to go down stairs on their own, which can easily cause them to fall down the stairs due to temporary instability. So families living in high-rise buildings should pay attention to locking their doors.
