Get Active with Little Ones

Andrew 4 m.

 

At his age of 4 months Andrew is rather well-developed: swims and dives with pleasure, rolls around, stands on his fours (to prepare himself for creeping), sings and speaks with his toys and his family members, is able to play independently for some 15 to 30 min. So, what are our time and effort investments for Andrew to develop physically and mentally? Here is the list of things we do (almost) every day:

1.    5 min fit ball exercises;

2.    10-15 min massage;

3.    5 min exercise on inflatable ball;

4.    Listening to various types of music, but primarily classics;

5.    30-40min swimming;

6.    Reading and singing nursery rhymes. Also Andrew becomes active listener when we read to Maria short stories.

Gymnastics with mum is another option to be added to the list for the mum and baby to be fit.

 

Besides, Andrew and Maria enjoy speaking and playing together, which undoubtedly stimulates mutual development and learning. It is said, that second, third, fourth children develop faster than their older siblings.
