What is the reason crisis child first year of life
The crisis of the first year takes place in a period of 9-10 months and a half years. This crisis is linked to the fact that the child begins to walk, and he really wants to explore everything. He was interested in everything, everyone wants to touch, try on a tooth. It requires a voltage of all its forces. And since my mother could not allow him to explore everything (for example, an electrical outlet, scissors, a fragile vase, and so on), the child is trying to achieve the desired cry.
The ability to demonstrate their independence may manifest unwillingness to return home from a walk, sleep, eat familiar dishes (such as porridge) and so on. And it makes a cute smiling baby in a capricious monster, pour roar every five minutes.
Different children's first year of life crisis occurs in different ways: more than cool kids do not cause parents a lot of trouble, but most children at this age is just a very lively and emotional instability, so parents could hardly survive this period. Yet this period is very important for the development of the child - it allows him to rise to a new stage of development.

What an adult during the crisis first year of life
When the child's misbehavior adults often try to immediately stop it by any means. Of course, many of the child's wishes should not be carried out and it is necessary, first of all, for his health and safety. But mom still should stop and think why is this kid want? What is something you can and give. And if it is impossible to give up, then you need to learn how to switch the child's attention to something else, safe. Children at this age is very easy to switch their attention. My mother in such cases can be pre-invented blank if it is not able to quickly improvise. For example, you can look out the window and show your child a bright car, dog or cat. And you can tune in to listen to phone the grave, sing a song or tell a poem. Any new items may also interest the child.
Gradually, the need to train the kid to behave safely and create a framework to it, to which he will gradually get used to. A child at this age feel that he needed protection. Such protection he sees in adults and, above all, in the mother. Frames safe behavior will gradually become for him protection.
These codes of conduct should be formed clearly, briefly, extremely clear for the child, and in any case not to smile at the same time, the baby decided that mom plays with him. In this same phrase to be repeated each time, as soon as there is an extreme situation.
What else can come up with mom for your baby? She can play with him. In summer you can play in the sandbox, bake pies. In winter, the same pie can be made out of the snow, or play with a child in the snow. House games cubes fit in cars, dolls.
At the age of one year, the child can already show the vivid pictures in the book. For example, you can show the animals to tell how they were able to speak. Young children will be happy to start with the mother ships in the bath, and then wash it with the same toys.
A child at this age begins to speak his first words and understand the speech addressed to him. To these skills develop faster with a child must be constantly talking.
The crisis of the first year suggests that the child grows and explores the world around. Parents need to help him in this.
