Linguistic development:
For this stimulation session, we will need:
- Our voice.
- Puppets, colored socks or ice cream popsicles with - little faces as puppets.
- A mirror.
- A magazine or book with illustrations
Let us begin!
First activity:
We are going to show the puppets to our baby and with them we are going to tickle him, give him kisses and dance him. Then we will have the puppets “greet the child” and “greet each other”, saying: “hello, my name is______” “and you, what is your name?” The idea is to create a small conversation between the puppets. We can end it with a little song.
Second activity:
Using the same puppets, we are going to give one of the puppets to our baby and establish “a conversation” between his puppet and ours.
We can greet her puppet, call him by name, point out the body parts with his puppet and name them or whatever our imagination tells us.
Third activity:
We are going to make a game of sitting with the child on the lap looking at a mirror.
We are going to take his little hand and touch the mirror with it, and then, with our hand, we are going to touch the different parts of his body and show him in the mirror accompanying him with the corresponding name of his body.
Fourth activity:
For this activity we are going to show our baby various illustrations, mentioning in short words what we see in them.
For example, we can use a book with pictures of animals and mention the names, pointing to them.
If we use a magazine, we can point to and name the colors, if we see a boy or a girl, if something is big or small, and so on.
Some tips:
- All the actions that the child performs must be named, adding new concepts and functions to their vocabulary.
- Mention each of your body parts to your baby as you touch the named part.
- Every time you do an exercise or activity, it is essential to mention to the baby the action you are doing, in order to contribute to their spatial notions, and so that they can begin to identify what is "up and down", the two sides, etc.
- When the baby makes any sound, imitate it but then repeat the correct word.
- All the objects or toys that the baby points to, mention them and call them by name so that the baby becomes familiar with them, ask him questions that prompt him to answer the words he has already learned.
Socio-affective development:
For this stimulation session, we will need:
- A story
- A toy
- A mirror
Let us begin!
First activity:
To contribute to the acceptance of strangers we can tell them to take a book, a toy that the baby likes so that they try through them to achieve direct contact and interaction with him.
Second activity:
To contribute to the development of the baby's confidence, we are going to play hide and seek. At first, mother and son can hide so that the father can go look for him and vice versa, when the baby has adapted to the game we can do it one by one.
Third activity:
We are going to sit on the floor and place our baby between our legs facing each other. With sweetness, we begin to call him/her by his/her name, to speak to him/her and accompany him/her with different facial expressions (happy face, sad face, anger, stick out the tongue, open and close the mouth).
Immediately we will have our baby trying to make gestures and sounds “as if he answered us”. We should always do this activity looking him/her in the eye.
Fourth activity:
We are going to make a game of sitting with the child on the lap looking at a mirror.
Then we are going to caress him and give him little kisses so that he can observe the demonstrations of affection in the mirror, we are going to let him touch the mirror if he wishes to do so and then we are going to tickle or caress the different parts of his body, accompanying this with nice words .
Some tips:
Allow the child to explore on his own in the place where he is, let him do it but without losing sight of him, allowing the baby to crawl a little longer without his mother.
This will generate dependency and autonomy for the baby.
