Every movement of a baby from birth to adulthood, including the skillful way of speaking, is a process of imitation. The shortcomings and strengths of a baby's life are closely related to the surrounding environment. It is very necessary to train babies in some life skills, such as training them to drink water from a cup. So the editor will answer the question of "how to train babies to drink water from a cup", hoping to help parents.
How to train a baby to drink water from a cup
1. Provide the baby with appropriate cups and utensils. Prepare a plastic or enamel cup that is not easily broken for the baby. Because the baby's grip is not very stable at the beginning, it is easy to cause it to fall off. At this time, parents need to buy a plastic cup with a handle for the baby to strengthen their practice, and gradually the baby will be able to hold it steadily.
2. The amount of water increases from less to more. When starting to practice, put a small amount of water in a cup and let the baby hold the cup with both hands. Parents should help the baby put it into their mouth, and be careful to let the baby drink slowly, bite by bite. After drinking, add more water. Do not put too much water in the baby's cup at once to avoid choking the baby. When the baby holds the cup steadily, parents can gradually let go and let the baby hold the cup and put it into their mouth. At this time, it is also important to pay attention to the amount of water in the cup from small to large.
3. Give more encouragement to the baby. When a baby practices drinking water from a cup, parents should encourage them with words of praise, such as "The baby can hold the cup to drink water by himself, he is really capable!" This can enhance the baby's confidence.
What skills should be taught to children
Parents should gradually put forward requirements based on their children's physiological development characteristics, from easy to difficult, from simple to complex.
1.3 year old children can be trained in various skills of self-service, such as eating, washing hands, brushing teeth, etc;
2.4-year-old children can learn to fold blankets, make beds, and take care of their own lives;
3.Children aged .5 and 6 are required to dress quickly and neatly, wash their faces and hands very cleanly, and gradually learn to do some simple household chores such as sweeping the floor and watering flowers.
I believe that after reading my article, parents should have learned some knowledge about training their babies to drink water from a cup. The editor hopes that parents will not be in a hurry to achieve success in their children's growth, let alone the phenomenon of pulling out seedlings and promoting growth. They should let their children learn the skills of that age group. What parents can do is to watch their children grow up step by step and accompany them in their growth.
