Play is an integral part of a child’s development. It is vital for the holistic development of your baby.Both indoor and outdoor games enhance your child’s creativity and imagination. Moreover, playing increases your baby’s physical movement and improves their cognitive abilities. They learn to adapt to the changing conditions of the game. While they are in a team, it develops sportsmanship and team spirit.

.

.

Physical Development 

Early play develops a wide array of gross-motor, fine-motor and sensory-motor-integration skills such as laterality (coordinating left-side and right-side movement), balance, ballistics (extreme exertions), use of pens and scissors and other hand tools, hand-eye coordination and many, many others. Indeed, actual physical development such as the arch of the palm depends on it, and limiting play and exploration can be quite detrimental to a child.

.

.

Social Development 

It's hard to beat the confidence conferred by early athletic prowess. Even harder to beat is the cohesiveness of a group of children learning together. And even better than that is free play, children playing on their own or lightly supervised. Some aspects of a well-integrated personality--autonomy, volition, circumspection, empathy, agency--cannot easily be taught; they arise spontaneously from vivid group interaction. These same interactions will both reduce the tendency of some to bully and will provide tactics for others to more effectively deal with bullying.

.

.

Mental Development 

Naturally mind and character are much developed by all the foregoing. Beyond that, if you want a gifted reader, sing with your child. If you want a gifted writer, compose and sing your own goofy songs. If you want a mathematician, climb--it's nothing but problem-solving in real time and space. If you want a brave child, play hide-and-go-seek out at the mall.

Weaning begins from the moment supplementary food is started and continues till the child is taken off the breast feed completely. There is an increase in activities of enzymes at the time of weaning.

The ideal time to start introducing semi solid food is when a baby is ready to sit up,swallow and eat and taste other foods,the baby's stomach is ready to digest food and the baby has good appetite and accepts food readily and there is no activity in the child.

After 6 months, increasing needs of calories and protein of growing children cannot be met by diminishing output of mother's milk.

.

.

Types of supplementary food:-

1) Milk-At about the sixth month of life the frequency of breastfeeding is reduced to 3 or 4 times per day and diluted cow's milk is substituted.

.

2) Juice/purees of fresh fruits-in early stages the fruit juice is diluted with an equal amount of boiled water and only a couple of teaspoonfull are fed.The amount of fruit juice it is gradually increased while amount of water is decreased.(oranges,grapes,apple,tomatoes)

.

3) Porridges-Oats and Ragi porridge make for good choices for infants when you want to wean them off.

.

4) Vegetables-Cooked, mashed vegetables like potato green leafy vegetables and carrots can be introduced to get vitamins and minerals and colours in the diet.

At two, they are beginning to want their opinion known, clearly.The "right way" depends on the child.Some children are very open to suggestion.They may have been just trying for your time and attention.Others, well, are beginning that long journey to be their own person,in their own way.Remember,as a parent, our primary thought is to keep them safe.Build from there.

.

.

Here I have been shared my thoughts.

1. Give options-Do you want the plush toy or car?This way appropriate decision is picked, but they still have options, control over the decision.

2. Plan-If you know your child naps 1-3pm.try not to get things down right before nap. If you know 6:30pm is tough time for them, try to be at home.

3. Set limits-If a child starts throwing a fit in the grocery store because they did not get their way, set clear limits.Only use the limit though if you can follow through. Consistency is key.

4. Time outs-Yes, the buzz word. Remember, time out is a minute per year.At 2 years old, 2 minutes is about right.It is a time to remove them from their frustration, the challenge. Time out should be out of view of what is causing them to be upset.

.

. 

Another example, my son would not sit in the holiday picture without the toy in his hand.It did not go with the scene, but, ultimately, I wanted a happy child for the picture. When it was clear the toy would stay or there would be no smile, we tried without the toy. Great smile, and, now, a great story.

"Stubborn" children at age 2 may be more prone to acting out if their routine or situation is inconsistent.Keep to a schedule as much as possible.This gives reassurance and predictability to their life.They are just now becoming aware of their bodily functions, which is a bit overwhelming and upsetting for some children.Making the other parts of their life manageable helps reduce the "stubborn" moments. 

It is a frustrating time right now.It passes. Remember, parents deserve a time out too.If it is getting too intense,keep them safe, but step away.Reach out for breaks if you can.

Remember, stubborn is also called persistent, resourceful.If you have a strong willed child, this is a good sign they will be independent. This is a healthy and expected behavior at this age and stage and you as a parent have made them feel secure enough to challenge, question.All great signs you are doing an excellent job with your child.
