Baby development

Thanks!

32 weeks (+-8 months)

Tell your baby no when you don't want them to do something, use a firm voice but don't say it too often, baby will ignore words heard too often, rather remove or distract. (intellectual/social development)

Baby should now sit without support

Give sheets of paper to tear and crumple (fine motor development)

Play games in bath like filling cups with water and explain whats happening (language/intellectual development)

Your baby should be able to carry all his weight on his legs, play loads of jumping games (gross motor development)

Encourage baby to move towards you by streching your arms out and calling him (coordination/gross motor development)

Encourage baby to stretch to reach objects placed just out of reach (coordination/gross motor development)

I like this one so will type it out
"Be careful not to fulfil your baby's each and every need. Wait for him to tell you what he needs, since he will not otherwise be stimulated to express his own feelings and learn to speak. (Language development)

Hold your baby and swing him through the air or let him swing on your leg or foot (intellectual/gross motor and balance)

Encourage baby to bang wooden spoons on different containers (intellectual/coordination/fine motor)

Clap hands, say finger rhymes, rhymes pointing out body parts (intellectual/social/language/body awareness)

Going to try and summarize

28 weeks (+-7 months)

Encourage baby to lift head while lying on back by holding something just out of reach. (gross motor development)

Let baby sit 'stride-legged' and roll ball towards him. (balance/coordination)

Encourage baby to eat on his own using fingers, cut pieces smaller to promote pincher grasp (fine motor development/coordination)

Set example by using proper language/facial expressions etc, speak slowly and clearly. Make conversation with your baby and wait for him to answer (language development)

Point things out to your baby in a mirror for example this is mommy and this is bianca etc (body awareness/social development/intellectual development)

Encourage baby to roll from back to side (coordination/gross motor development)

Take every opportunity to let your baby stand with support to learn to carry full weight on legs (balance/gross motor development)

Let baby sit (at this age they should be able to sit by themselves) and put different things, textures, shapes etc infront of him within reach. Discuss different objects for example a soft teddy etc. (gross motor development/intellectual development/coordination/balance)

Imitate babies chatter and add new sounds (language development/social development)

Encourage baby to support himself with one arm while lying on tummy and reach out with the other hand (gross motor development/coordination)

That would be great, thanks...

I bought the Practica set when B was 6 weeks old or something and they have some interesting and some 'common sense' activities. Can post a couple of pages if you like

What do you guys do for baby development / stimulation, it would be nice to get some fresh ideas.
