Development handbook of 6-year-old babies parents need to know to help their children grow well

How will 6-month-old babies reach the milestone of physical and intellectual development? Parents need to train their children what skills and what to pay attention to in the process of caring and raising children?

Seeing how children can do activities in their daily life by themselves is a great surprise for parents. In the blink of an eye, your baby is 6 years and 6 months old. And obviously parents and baby have a long journey to work together.

During the development of a 6 year old 6 month baby, there are a few remarkable milestones that parents should not ignore. Parents will constantly wonder if their children are developing properly or not. Remember this is a stage when children are very confused in each decision. Even children will find it difficult to choose chocolate or strawberry flavored ice cream.

Let's take a look at the developmental milestones that your 6-year-old baby needs to achieve.

Physical development of babies 6 years and 6 months

At the age of 6 years and 6 months, your baby may develop a hobby with certain types of movements such as soccer or jumping rope. Your child will be more active than ever and this is the time when he will be able to develop complex movement skills.

While your child's gross motor skills are honed through these activities, parents can expect their child's fine motor skills to improve as well. In order for your child to do physical activities on their own such as brushing teeth or bathing, parents should "let go" and let them do it themselves. 

One of the things that parents need to be aware of is that your baby may often complain about minor pains such as abdominal pain and leg pain. This is because awareness of the baby's body has increased.

Cognitive development of 6 months 6 years old baby

For a 6-month-old, 6-month-old baby has only one judgment of right or wrong, great or terrible. For a child of the same age, your child will either see it as a best friend or see it as an enemy, he has absolutely no concept of balance, relative.

Parents will find children assert their independence, both intellectually and emotionally. At this age, parents can also notice a change in their child's learning, children will use better language and logic rather than just observing and relying on experience.

The things that babies often imagine when they are young will be significantly reduced and they will gradually become more interested in real things.

At this stage, your baby is able to:

Understand the cause-and-effect relationship

Improve memory

Or forget about small requests and instructions

New challenges can be terrifying for your child, especially the fear of failure. Parents need to play a supporting role for their children at this time. Reassure your baby that they are always there for them no matter what.

Teach your child that it's okay to make mistakes. Parents need to show their children that adults themselves are trying new things and not afraid of making mistakes.

Show aggressive behavior, likes to punch and kick other people

Express restlessness, anxiety, and depression
