As babies grow up, they will gradually develop a sense of curiosity about the things around them and are easily attracted to something. Including certain parts of oneself, such as hands, can also arouse the baby's interest. The elderly say that babies have poor eyesight, which is a superstitious belief from the past. So, what do babies say about looking at their hands?
Firstly, it is normal for babies to look at their hands, which is a manifestation of their cognitive abilities, so there is no need to worry too much. Children starting to observe their own hands is a sign of intellectual development to a certain extent, and some old claims have no scientific basis. Their own hands are actually the first toys for children. Observing and using their hands, even tasting them, is the first step for children to understand their environment. Children will gradually understand the difference between proprioceptive and environmental perception.
Secondly, looking at hands is a process of self-awareness for babies and is a very normal phenomenon. Parents should never stop their children because of superstition. When a baby looks at their own hand, parents can tell them, "This is a small hand that can be used for writing or eating
Finally, when babies frequently look at their hands and cry while looking, parents should pay attention to whether their hands are injured and whether there are obvious wounds. If the baby's hand is injured, it should be treated promptly to prevent the wound from becoming inflamed.
