Development of a 9 months old baby. Child development in the ninth month of life. What's new in mental development

During the ninth month, the child's body weight will increase on average by 450-500 g, and his height - by 1.5-2 cm. By this age, the child's height and weight should be:

Boys

• height - 71.2-72.3 cm;
• weight - 9.0-9.5 kg.

Girls

• height - 69.5-70.5 cm;
• weight - 8.25-8.75 kg.

Mental development

The child continues to explore space. He is interested in everything: why does the cabinet end at this turn, the doors move (open and close), the sofa stands motionless in the center of the room, etc. The most fun toddler play is crawling around a chair, chair or kitchen table. And this is not surprising - he, like you, needs to repeat the same action repeatedly in order to learn something and stop by choosing the right solution.

Children at this age really like the game "Big-Big!" A familiar person (mom, dad, grandmother, grandfather) asks the kid: "How big is Yegorushka?" or "Which Yegorushka will grow up big?" The child happily answers the question and raises two hands up, shows how big he will grow up.

Kids also love to play hide and seek. For example, a child hides behind a door, behind a curtain or behind a sofa and waits until someone asks: “Where is our Vera?”, After the question he heard, the baby shows up from the place where he was hiding.

In the ninth month, babies not only know how to sit well, they themselves can lie down from a sitting position and sit down from a prone position. The baby's arms are well strengthened. Now, if the child wants to get up, then for this the emu will need a playpen, a sofa, an armchair, that is, something that you can hold on to with your hands. He can do these exercises many times, but it is still difficult for him to stand on his legs for a long time, so the baby lets go of support and falls, then rises again.

It happens that a child clings to the edge of the arena and rises on his feet, and then begins to cry. What's going on? The answer is simple - the baby has learned to rise on his feet, but he is not yet able to sit down on his own, therefore, not knowing what to do, he is afraid and cries. Parents should help the child to sit down, over time he will learn to do it himself and the baby will have another interesting game.

The development of speech continues this month. There are not many words in his "dictionary" yet, but new, short words are added to them, denoting loved ones or actions: "dada", "am", "give", "mom", "baba", "dad", etc. .d. The most interesting thing is that each kid has his own "dictionary". The child can try to simulate his own voice, speak softly, in a whisper, or loudly. At the same time, he loves to copy you, the intonation of your voice. After all, this is a little man who loves you infinitely.

There are two most important tasks in raising a child of 9 months:

• development of speech;
• the formation of purposeful movements.

When you communicate with your child, talk, tell rhymes, try for the baby to try to repeat certain sounds and syllables after you.

During this period, the baby has a pronounced observation and imitation reaction - he looks at his parents and wants to do as they do. We recommend that you use your child's capabilities to teach him new, more complex activities. Teach your child to take toys out of the locker, put toys in a bucket, press piano keys, push a ball, or spin a baby carousel.

Teach your little one to move from subject to subject, on a short time leave him unsupported.

An approximate scheme for feeding a child at 9 month of life provided in the table.

A baby at 9 months is no longer a helpless baby, but a fairly adequate person. The baby has not only grown physically, he is able to express his emotions vividly and to the place. He can laugh contagiously when dad or mom throw him up, and cry bitterly if he does not give what he wants.

Babies at 9 months have their own point of view. They take off the interfering hat, choose the path for a walk, strive to get the item they like. Children are selfish by nature. At the 9th month of life, they can already realize what they want, but they do not understand why this is "impossible", that their desires often contradict the interests of other people.

The child is not yet ready for prohibitions, so you need to try and remove from his field of vision all objects that are dangerous for him or for some other reason should not be in the baby's hands.

If the toddler does get something forbidden, you need to distract him. At this age, it is still quite easy to do. You can show a toy, interest in the view from the window.

The child spends a lot of time on the floor, crawling, walking along the furniture, studying the surrounding objects. Mom's hands are freer now, but for safety reasons, you cannot leave one baby.

Features:

The main innovation of 9 months is preparation for walking. The child already knows how to sit well, stand independently for a short time, this is a completely new sensation to which one must get used both psychologically and physically. At 9 months old, the baby can walk, holding onto a sofa or other support, squat, crawl.

Sitting, the child takes out, takes the toys with his hands, studies them. Increased physical activity slows down the rate of weight gain. During the ninth month, the child gains 0.3-0.5 kg. Weight is about 9 kg, height is about 70.

Skills

What a child can do at this age:

• Shows parts of the face, body. If the baby still does not know how to do this, this does not mean that he is not sufficiently developed. It's just that no one has shown him yet.
• He sticks his fingers into any holes, pulls the objects under study into his mouth.
• Leafing through books.
• Tears paper, crinkles dough with fingers, plasticine.
• Holds a cup, food tightly in his hands. He takes objects well with his fingers. And he cannot unclench them yet. Therefore, if the baby grabbed something, it is very difficult to take the object away from him.
• He babbles, sings, pronounces individual syllables or simple words. Some repeat well after adults. They pronounce sounds and designate certain objects or people with them. In the conversation, intonations appear copied from the speech of adults.
• Replies with simple gestures: nodding or shaking the head, signifying agreement or denial.
• Knowing his name, he responds to him, smiles at the same time.
• Understands simple requests such as “come here”, “take the ball”.
• Begins to show interest in dressing, helps by putting his hands in the sleeves, in the shoes of his feet. He takes off his hat or sock on his own.
• Handling toys comes down to learning from properties. A 9-month-old child loves to take them apart, put them inside one another, throw them and watch the flight. This is not harmful - this is how the baby learns the world.
• The kid likes to play "peek-a-boo", hide and seek. He asks to repeat it many times. The word "ku-ku" evokes a storm of emotions in him. This can be used when the toddler is angry or upset. Remind him of the word, and a smile will definitely appear on his face.
• By the time the child was 9 months old, he had learned to distinguish between close people and strangers. The toddler is afraid or avoids strangers.

Daily routine, nutrition

In order for the baby to develop normally, he must eat well, walk in the air, and get enough sleep. If there is a regime in a child's life, he gets used to a certain sequence of actions every day, does not resist them.

In a child at 9 months, development and nutrition are closely related. At this age, the baby already eats a lot of "adult" food. The main condition: food should be varied, as useful as possible, include enough fiber and vitamins. The child already has enough teeth to learn to chew. It is necessary to gradually switch from mashed potatoes to more solid foods.

By the age of 9 months, children sleep at night for about 10 hours, and during the day, twice. Each baby is individual, these numbers may differ. The main thing is that the child is in good mood, developed physically and mentally.

Babies wake up at night to eat. The reason is not hunger, but psychological dependence on the mother. This is normal and will go away with weaning. Such night feeding usually does not cause much discomfort to a woman. The baby sucks the breast in a dream and sleeps peacefully on.

Activities and games

The kid is already able to do something with concentration and enthusiasm for some time. To help in the development of a 9-month-old baby, you need to direct his activity in the right direction:

• Teach the necessary actions in the future. For example, take off, put on clothes, eat with a spoon. Probably, the child will be interested and want to try on all his things or something from his mother's wardrobe. There is no need to resist it. The more he trains, the faster he learns.
• Develop hand motor skills. This is an important condition not only for the future ability to write beautifully, but also for the formation of correct speech, for performing everyday actions.

Children love to rip paper. This is a good developmental method. Give the kid a roll toilet paper... It will captivate him for a long time. It is important here to show the child from the very beginning that books cannot be ripped. It is necessary to form a special attitude towards them, to protect them. It is better if only cardboard books are available for some time, until the baby finally realizes that they cannot be torn.

Interesting and useful game - sorting out small items. Buttons, beads of different colors, pasta of unusual shapes, pebbles, toothpicks will do. Toddlers like to look at and move small objects.

But parents must be very careful, the child is able to pull any object into his mouth, try to shove it into his nose or ear.

The game should be cooperative, controlled. If the baby is tired, it is necessary to fold everything and put it away so that he cannot reach it.

To accelerate the development of a child at 9 months, the development of his motor skills is helped by modeling, drawing. Mom needs to create with the child. He will like the resulting figures, he will strive to do the same. If you press beads or pasta into the dough, the child will pick them out. He should be able to do it.

Bath games

Bathing turns into an entertaining game in 9 months. Rubber animals, molds, cups - everything interests the child. Transferring from containers, washing toys captivates the baby. He may not agree to finish swimming for a long time. To solve this issue without tears, you can invite him to say goodbye to toys. To say that the baby will surely meet with them again soon, wave his hand and calmly take him out of the water. Or quietly drain the water and say that she has already escaped.

In the morning, you need to teach your child to wash. Show how to do it on yourself. And then help him repeat. You need to tell your baby how important it is to be clean. Praise him for his washed hands and face. To say how handsome he has become.

Toys

The main rule of choice is safety. Toys should not contain sharp corners and parts. A 9-month-old child is interested in everything: clockwork, talking, soft animals, dolls, cars, cubes and pyramids, constructors. You need to teach the little person to play with them. You can show how a car or a locomotive drives, how to assemble a pyramid, how to build, how a doll or a bear "walk", feed them "for fun", wash, regret.

Children quickly memorize and copy the actions of adults. Soon, the baby will play and invent something new on his own. Both boys and girls must have at least one doll. On it you need to learn to show the eyes, nose, mouth, arms, legs, tummy, back. And then find the same with the child himself, with mom and dad.

As you grow, you can add smaller details to this list, for example, fingers, knees, eyelashes. A doll is a visual aid for studying the human body. In addition, it will become good friend baby, you can do everything with her, you need to show on the toy what the child himself is not able to do or is afraid of.

Physical development

To develop muscles and dexterity, you need to remember about outdoor games. Children like balls of different sizes, colors.

You need to teach your child to catch and throw the ball, bring and serve, roll it on the floor, so that he understands the difference in these actions. It develops dexterity, coordination and brings a lot of joy to everyone.

You can make your own "health track". Stick or sew on buttons, pebbles, scraps of fabrics that are different to the touch on a piece of fabric. And let the baby walk on it with bare feet. Until the baby is able to move vertically by himself, you need to support him. And in a couple of months he himself will walk along the path with great pleasure.

It promotes hardening, is a foot massage, improves coordination and orientation. First, you need to let the baby examine everything with his hands, touch, evaluate. And then you can give commands on what to step on, adding variety to the game.

Children are attracted to the mirror. You can play with it too:

• consider the reflection of different objects, people;
• compare what he saw with the original;
• make grimaces;
• show joy, anger, surprise, fear.

This is very good for developing emotions. Facial exercises encourage good speech.

A 9 month old baby needs a lot of attention. Mothers often complain that they do not have enough time for all the activities and games. But it is not necessary to break away from homework, you can combine it and communication with the baby. The time given to the child will definitely have a positive effect on his development.

At 9 months old, a child repeats syllables all the time, sorting out vowels and consonants, auk, cries out, sometimes bursts into laughter. And in his own language comments on what is happening around. Some babies "tie" syllables to mom and dad (ma-ma-ma-am) and to their favorite toys (zya-zya-zya - bunny, etc.).

The child's emotions are richer every day. Most often, the baby is surprised or happy, interested in something, but at times does not hide anger, disgust, sadness, fear. He can be whiny, resentful, fearful, especially if the mother is constantly on edge, but, in general, is balanced, calm and gives a minimum of trouble.

The kid clearly shows dissatisfaction, aimed at your specific actions: for example, the little one may not like it when you wipe his nose or cut his nails. He will turn away, push your hand away, moo in protest, and turn his head.

Do not ignore these "tricks" and do not scold your son or daughter for them. Think about it: perhaps something in your actions hurts the baby, and this should be corrected. If the action needs to be continued, accept the negative emotions of your beloved child, say that you understand that he is in pain, unpleasant, that he does not want, but nothing can be done - it is necessary.

By the way, pay special attention to the actual need for manipulations, especially medical ones, that cause a negative reaction in the baby. For example, you can do a strengthening massage yourself (if the child does not have a serious illness), if the little one has not found " common language"With a nurse. As practice shows, negative emotions often nullify all the benefits of such manipulations.

Do not ignore the requests of the baby, especially when he is crying. Break away from the phone call, take the child in your arms, kiss, hug, calm, and then continue the conversation.

Remember and repeat

Now the child carefully monitors your actions, remembers them, can get the thing hidden in his pocket. He remembers well where you carry objects of interest to him, and tries to get them. For example, knowing that grandmother has an interesting medallion hanging around her neck, she will climb onto her lap and pull on the chain. Or he will reach into the pocket of my father's jacket for a mobile phone ...

The kid will be happy to tear and wrinkle the paper. Give him old newspapers or magazines, along the way explaining that books should never be ripped. To prevent this from happening "accidentally", give the baby only thick cardboard books for independent play and "reading". He will not be able to turn thin pages himself and will tear simply because his fingers are not yet obedient enough.

To train fingers, invite your child to pour nuts, buttons, pebbles, beans, gradually moving to smaller objects. Learn to sprinkle not only with your fingers, but also with different spoons, a small scoop.

Show your baby how to pour water from one plastic cup to another, scoop water from a bowl with a spoon and pour it into a cup. All this will develop fine motor skills and will serve as an excellent service in terms of learning to self-eat.

At 9 months old, a child can already start learning how to dress. More precisely, undress. Teach him to pull off a sock, take off his hat, take his hand out of the sleeve of an unbuttoned blouse or jacket. Ask you to stretch out the desired handle or leg, put your head in, squeeze the handle into a fist when pushing it into the sleeve. The sooner you teach your baby this, the easier it will be for him to master self-care skills in the future.

Standing or sitting in the bathroom, the baby can wash her face and hands. Girls often repeat the “washing away” movements of their mother - praise the young cleanliness! Try to make the baby "on an equal footing with everyone" participate in the affairs of the family, more often find himself at the common table - on your example, he will learn to behave, communicate with other people.

Getting to know the body

Help the little one get to know his body! This is what the games below are aimed at. Do not forget that the baby learns from the parents how to relate to his body, its needs, urges, signals. If a child is taught to respect his body, to listen to it, this skill remains for life.

If parents, for the sake of their needs, fears or habits, let the baby understand that his body is “stupid” and “wrong” (through force-feeding, imposing his own rhythm and daily routine, untimely planting on a pot, bathing, bans on active movement, etc. etc.), the child will face difficulties in building further harmonious relationships with himself.

When playing with your baby, it is important that he be interested. The main condition for the formation of this interest is the emotional involvement of the mother, she should be funny and fun. After all, playing is not a tedious duty!

• Dariki-dariki,
• Oh yes mosquitoes! (clap our hands)
• ZZZZZ (speech therapy pronunciation of the sound Z!)
• Curled-curled, (fingers are folded into pinches, we make circular movements with brushes)
• Baby in the nose (you can call any part of the body)
• Suddenly they grabbed.

When the baby has grown up and has learned to run well - especially if he is a fidget - this game can be turned into catch-up tags: the mosquitoes catch up and bite the child.

• Clapperboards - clappers, (clap your hands)
• Close your ears (eyes, cheeks, knees and other parts of the body that you are now "learning") - close your ears with your palms.

While the child is small, you should not call more than 3-4 in one game. If the kid wants to continue playing, repeat the same, but in a different sequence. And next time add one more thing.

• FROM good morning eyes,
• You woke up?
• Good morning nose
• Are you woke up? - and then all the parts that you "learn".
• Good morning, (baby name)
• Are you woke up!
• Goodnight, eyes,
• Go to sleep! etc.
• Good night, (baby name)
• Go to sleep!

We sculpt and draw

From 9 months you can start games, which then move on to modeling, application, drawing. Show your toddler how to move around with crayons or felt-tip pens on a large sheet of paper. By dipping the child's fingers into special non-toxic paints, give the baby the opportunity to smear them on a sheet, a piece of fabric or your own body (if you are worried about the cleanliness of your home, play with paints in the bathroom - both from the tile, and from the artist himself, they can be immediately washed off warm shower).

Make a cake from any dough or clay and, placing the little one on your lap, stick curly pasta, beans, nuts, pebbles into it: the baby will be happy to pick them out. Unscrew the lids, put vegetables chopped for soup in a saucepan, pick up matches, toothpicks or beans from the floor and put them on a stool or in a special box, sort out large buttons, throw walnuts or cotton balls into a basket - all these activities perfectly develop fingers and are very exciting babies, especially if mom sets an example.

Psychology and Physiology.

• If a 9 months children are healthy, and nothing bothers them, then they can stay awake for up to 4 hours in a row, without getting tired of their intense activity. At night, they usually wake up 1 time to have a snack.
• The weight gain is about 500 grams, the height will increase by 1.5-2 cm. The baby's weight is within the range of 9.3 - 10 kg.
• The vision of a baby at this age is almost identical to that of an adult, he sees both far and close. movement of arms and legs is coordinated.
• The child already knows how to distinguish his mirror image from another child's image. This suggests that every day he more and more feels like an independent person.
• Just at this time, the most one appears, which he will not give to anyone and never for a very long time. This touching affection is necessary in order to transfer to her some of the great love that is meant for mom. And thereby show your, albeit tiny, but already quite real independence from your mother, which is a prerequisite for future independence.
• The child does not take his eyes off his loved ones, memorizing their actions. He can find the thing hidden before his eyes. Or get to the place where it lies. Seeing a beautiful chain on her mother's neck, the baby will reach for her, trying to squeeze it in her fist.
