Baby's Games

Of all your baby’s important milestones, her first words may be the one you’re waiting for most impatiently. But try as you might, it’s just not possible to “teach” a child to talk before she’s ready. What you can do is encourage her burgeoning language skills through play, says Marian Marcario, a New Jersey based speech-language pathologist.

Peek-a-boo is one of many activities that do much more than entertain your baby, Marcario says. Games that involve eye contact, turn-taking, pointing and other gestures also help babies master crucial developmental building blocks so they can start learning how to communicate on their own.

Here are six fun ways to promote your baby's language development at home. You don’t need fancy toys or gear - just a few simple and inexpensive “tools,” like bubbles, cotton balls and a baby-safe mirror, are all it takes to help unleash your baby’s inner chatterbox.

Body language

Think of this activity as a lesson in lip-reading and labeling.

Age 4 to 12 months

Equipment An unbreakable mirror

Benefits Focuses baby’s attention on how the lips and tongue move to form words.

How to play
Sit down with your baby in your lap and hold the mirror in front of both of you (or sit in front of a full-length mirror). Point to your eyes, ears, nose and mouth, telling your baby the name of each part. Then take his hand and help him touch the different parts of his own face, clearly naming each one as you go. Soon, he’ll be able to identify them when you say the names, and eventually speak them himself. For an extra giggle, amuse your baby by making monkey noises in front of the mirror and see if he’ll do the same.

Get bubbly

Babies can’t help but be attracted to the shimmering movement of a bevy of bubbles. They also love to see them pop.

Age 6 to 18 months
Equipment Soap bubbles - store-bought or homemade

Benefits Encourages baby to practice some of the earliest consonant sounds - P, B and M - and to breathe more deeply.

How to play
As you blow the bubbles, talk about what's happening by repeating the words “up,” “pop,” “bubbles” and “more” in short phrases. (“Bubbles go up, up, up! Let’s pop them. Pop, pop! Look - bubbles! Do you want more bubbles? Yes! More bubbles!”) This game also encourages your baby to point to the bubbles and reach up to touch them. That helps open up her rib cage and in turn encourages deeper breathing and increased vocalization.

Get on the bus

Turn “The Wheels on the Bus” and “The Itsy-Bitsy Spider” into language games

Age 6 to 24 months

Equipment Just you - and the lyrics if you don't know them, or a recording to sing along to

Benefits Songs paired with simple hand movements help children learn the natural cadence and rhythm of language as well as how to imitate gestures.

How to play
Show your baby how to perform the song's gestures by sitting in front of her and taking her hands in yours as you move them along to the words. She won’t sing back at first, but the important thing is that she's watching your mouth move. Later, leave off a word of the song and let her to chime in with what she’s learned

Phone a friend

The power of make-believe fuels language development.

Age 6 to 24 months

Equipment A play telephone or any object that even vaguely resembles a phone

Benefits Having a pretend conversation might feel silly to you, but it’s the perfect chance for your baby to practice turn-taking—an essential conversational skill.

How to play
Pick up the "telephone" and greet the caller with an animated “Hello!” Continue the conversation, offering your child the phone (“Here, it’s for you—say hi to Grandma!”). If he hands it back to you, say “Oh, it’s for Mama? A call for Mama?” to help your baby start to identify you by name.

The right puff

A simple game translates into crucial skill development.
Age 16 - 18 months

Equipment Cotton balls or colorful pom-poms. (Remember never to leave a child
unsupervised whenith these small objects are within reach.)

Benefits Coordinating lips and lungs to blow air is a vital skill for making sounds - and it
can be tricky for a baby at first. This game is a fun way to practice.

How to play
Place the cotton balls or pompoms on a table or the floor and show your baby how
they move when you blow on them. Seeing them dance away will captivate him, and
he’ll want to try and do it himself. You can use your fingers to help push his lips into a
rounded position.

Hide- and- seek

Looking forward to the day you hear your baby say, "Yo, Mama"?

Age 16 to 18 months

Equipment A favorite stuffed toy

Benefits In time, a game like this will help your baby learn how to call someone’s name
to get his or her attention. Plus, repetition of words promotes imitation and labeling, and
uncovering a toy introduces the concept of object permanence (that people and things still
exist even when they can’t be seen, heard or touched).

How to play
Hide the toy and go on a hunt for it. Call out as if you expect the toy to respond: “Bear!
Where are you, bear?” Keep the phrase simple and use the same words every time so that
your baby will find it easy to imitate you.

More simple steps to language

• Give your baby a chance to "talk" while you play together, advises Marcario. By
pausing to let her answer (even if she doesn’t have any words yet), you’re letting
her know that your turn is over and it’s her turn to make some noise.
• Be sure to reward every your baby’s vocalizations that your baby makes, says
Marcario, even if they’reit's way off target, Marcario says.. “If you’re trying
to get him to say ‘book’ and he says ‘buh,’ praise him and repeat the target
word. ‘Book! You said book! Here’s the book!' You want to build his confidence
and teach him that an adult will give him what he wants if he uses language."

37 WEEKS OLD

• Around now, most babies grow calmer as they settle into their new skills. Your infant likely handles toys differently and concentrates better, and she might be more inquisitive.

• He's starting to categorize things: If he sees several dog pictures, for instance, he knows they're all dogs, even if they are different colors.

• They now love to explore, which means a lot of torn books and magazines as well as upside-down objects.

Is that a fact?

杨澜的育儿经：当妈妈要比当主持人难多了

杨澜是个大忙人。从“正大综艺”到“杨澜访谈录”，从“阳光卫视”到“天下女人”，再到目前开办的澜电子杂志，杨澜的光芒愈发耀眼。“主持人”、“董事长”、“商界名流”……这些工作上的称谓与传统中的“贤妻良母”形象近乎完美地结合在她身上。

前段时间，杨澜到河南嵩山观看《禅宗少林·音乐大典》演出，和易中天等在嵩山坳里论禅。杨澜同时还是两个孩子的妈妈，在与笔者交谈时，杨澜坦然说起了自己的育儿经。

孩子的每件小事都不马虎

经历了成名、出国留学、结婚生子、开公司等多种转变，很难简单地用“成功”二字涵盖杨澜所有的成就。

而去掉这些光环后，杨澜更愿意简单得如同一个平常女人，将自己定位于一个妻子和母亲的角色。1996年，杨澜在美国生下儿子；2000年10月20日，杨澜在上海又喜得一个6斤多重的小女儿。

因为工作缘故，杨澜不能时时陪在孩子身边，但在孩子成长的关键时期，杨澜都在他们身边。

杨澜很忙，可谓一个空中飞人，在这样的情况下，她还是孩子钢琴学校里出勤率最高的家长之一，还能在孩子8岁之前陪着他游历了15个国家。

如今的杨澜，经常在北京、上海、香港三地飞来飞去，但回到家中，杨澜即使再累再忙，都会抽出时间和孩子交流，专心致志和他们说话，认真倾听他们说的每一件事，全身心投入他们的世界。

和孩子们在一起的时候，杨澜会与他们玩玩拼图、讲故事，会和孩子们打闹，也会和孩子们一起看电影。前段时间看了《别惹蚂蚁》，一边看一边和孩子一起大叫，童趣带给杨澜很多的快乐。

杨澜至今记得儿子一岁半时的一个场景。那是儿子出生后，杨澜第一次比较长时间的出差，离开儿子有5天。那天回家时，杨澜发现儿子脸上的表情特别有层次，先是把脸转过去，憋了半天之后才委屈得哭出了声，最后把杨澜自己的眼泪也带出来了。

儿子当初这个无比丰富的表情，重重地定格在杨澜的心里，她意识到孩子幼小时期不能离开母亲，三岁前，孩子最需要的是安全感，如果不小心造成了损失，以后会很难弥补。后来，她下定决心扔下所有工作，命令自己在家做了整整一年的“全职妈妈”。

妈妈确实不是万能的，但至少可以做到这一条——面对孩子的每一件小事，都不马虎、不敷衍，这是杨澜给自己定的规矩。

坚持让孩子读公立学校

孩子长大了，该上学了，上什么样的学校呢？

在这些事情的选择上，杨澜和当下大多数父母很不一样。按条件，杨澜可以很方便地找到贵族学校、特色学校，或更有利于学习外语的国际学校。可是，无论在上海还是北京，杨澜都坚持为孩子选择普通的公立学校。

儿子如今已上小学五年级，那么多年过去了，杨澜从来没有给他请过一次家教，也从不做任何校内功课的额外辅导，甚至不要求他的学习成 绩一定要在班里拔尖。杨澜清晰地记得，唯一给孩子安排的补习班是学习中国书法。杨澜有这样一个原则，无论孩子们今后去哪，做什么，他们是中国人这点是绝不 能变的，所以必须要让优秀的中华民族文化渗透进他们的血液里……

杨澜选择让孩子上公立学校还有一个“私心”，就是想让孩子接触到最真实的生活，也生活在最接近社会现实的环境中，这样的成长环境对孩子才是真实可靠和有益的。

当初给儿子起名字时，杨澜夫妇曾开玩笑地说，就叫“吴(无)所谓”好了，不知是否有这个玩笑的缘故，儿子对自己的成绩排名、对个人 的利害得失，真的有些“无所谓”。儿子班里许多成绩好的同学一般都在课外参加奥数、英语等多项补习，但儿子小小年纪，居然能坦然面对，能够告诉妈妈：“我 可是在参加一场不公平的竞争！”

当然，杨澜并不是对任何事情都“无所谓”，比如，她会鼓励儿子去竞争当班长，用自己的压岁钱为患白血病的同学捐款，积极为班里同学服务做事，这些都是杨澜十分看重的事情。儿子要做一个好班长、好干部，他得努力让自己各方面都优秀，自然也包括学习成绩……

跟着孩子一起学打网球

杨澜不觉得做神童有什么好，也不要求孩子哪方面必须要有特别突出的成就，但她衷心希望孩子做一个快乐的人，也能给人带去快乐。为此，杨澜身体力行，努力培养孩子具有几种习惯和品性：爱好运动、慈悲为怀、善于表达和富有幽默感。

谁都知道杨澜英语特别好，可她和孩子在一起时，从没正经做过什么英语辅导，杨澜把绝大多数时间花在并不特别擅长的体育运动上，她和孩子一起滑冰，一起去体育场。有一次和女儿滑冰时，杨澜不小心摔坏了尾椎骨，养好了伤还是继续奔向运动场。

最近，孩子们喜欢上了动画片《网球王子》，提出要学打网球，杨澜不仅鼓励他们，自己也加入其中。杨澜发现，孩子更喜欢和他们一起运动的妈妈。为此，杨澜和孩子们约定，一星期至少出两次大汗。

母亲要培养孩子的人格

杨澜认为，表达能力的培养太重要了，几乎是一个人能否成功的关键。因此，她特别鼓励孩子们表达自己的意见，说出自己的想法。带他们去朋友家，让孩子大大方方地介绍自己，即便是孩子生气时，也千方百计鼓励他们说出来。

还有幽默感的培养，虽然做起来不太容易，但还是值得去努力。在家时，只要孩子们说了什么好玩幽默的话，杨澜总会不失时机地报以开心 的大笑，同时给予回应和赞赏。她后来发现，和孩子一起看卡通书和卡通片是个好办法，能培养和强化幽默感，大家笑作一团时，互相之间的语言自然而然会变得机 敏和幽默。

在杨澜看来，作为一名母亲，最大的任务就是要培养孩子健康的人格和思维方式。语文、数学这些知识老师可以教会，但孩子如何面对挫折，如何面对嫉妒……
