Parents have a big role in the child's life. The role of
parents is an important factor in helping mentally prepare the child to face
the outside world as an adult child. Not only love and affection, but parents
must also ensure that children live in a safe and comfortable environment.
In
order to ensure the continuity of adult life later, the child must be equipped
with the resources and ability to be successful later on. Even so, each child
is a unique individual who will eventually develop in their own way. Here below
you will find out more information about the role of parents in the stage of
child development.
Baby 0-3 Months
Babies at the age of 0-3 months will start learning to
recognize the voice, face, and touch of those closest to it. At the age of
three months, the baby will begin to enjoy periods of play with adults by
imitating often for example when his mother laughs he will join the laugh. Here
the role of parents is very important in helping the baby to develop his
abilities. Give the baby a touch and eye contact when talking to him, singing
or telling stories.
Baby 4-7 Months
At the age of 4-7 months, the baby will give more attention
to the surrounding environment. For example, when his father or mother calls,
he will turn his head. The role of parents in this period is to begin to
develop his physical abilities, such as support when sitting. You can also
start building routines, determining when to eat, bathe, play and sleep.
Baby 8-12 Months
Infants at 8-12 months of age can already sit without help.
He began to reach whatever was nearby to help him stand on his own. In the
current age range, you may have heard him say his first word, such as
"mama" or "papa".
Babies at this age also have begun to
feel anxious when left by their parents or feel afraid when looking at faces
that are foreign to him. In this period the parent's role is to invite her to
play together.
This phase is an important moment for the development of language.
You can try telling your baby what you are doing or what game you will play
with your baby. Babies will become more active as they progress. You can give
praise when he is good. Whereas when he does something he cannot do, you can
say 'do not' and distract him on something else.
Baby 1-2 Years Old
At this time, the baby will start wishing to do everything
on their own, such as wearing clothes, washing hands, using cutlery. Babies
also begin to understand more things than they say. At the age of 2 years, he
had mastered a few short sentences. The role of parents in this period is to
give examples of true words and deeds. Give simple restrictions on what to do
and don'ts.
