Babies born shortly after have poor cognitive abilities, but as time goes on, their cognitive abilities will begin to improve. Especially after the age of one, babies' cognitive abilities undergo significant changes, with differences in language, observation, and memory. So, what are the cognitive standards for a 1-year-old baby?
Parents need to always pay attention to cultivating healthy cognitive habits in their babies, helping them improve their memory, learning ability, and so on. A 1-year-old baby is already able to distinguish simple directions, has forward and backward awareness, and knows the difference between up and down. Parents can teach their baby to recognize left and right when they are one year old. A 1-year-old baby can also know more or less, and understand what is big and what is small. At this point, correct guidance from parents is needed.
After the baby turns one year old, parents can provide cognitive guidance on numbers for the baby. In daily life, gradually teach your baby numbers such as 1, 2, and 3. For example, parents can try raising one finger and telling their baby that this is called 1, and then raising two more fingers, repeating this process. At this point, a 1-year-old baby's memory is already quite strong and can firmly remember the knowledge taught by their parents. Parents need to patiently teach their babies to learn more.
The cognitive standards for a 1-year-old baby include the ability to correctly distinguish what is meant by front and back, left and right, up and down, and parents can also take the baby up stairs and count numbers such as 1, 2, and 3. This way, the baby will gradually develop a concept of numbers and their cognitive standards will continue to improve.
