¿Qué crea una personalidad? La genética y el ambiente juegan un papel, al igual que la determinación de su bebé. A medida que van ganando movimiento, comienzan a considerar qué quieren hacer. A través del juego, usted puede provocar que su bebé pruebe experiencias nuevas por cuenta propia. Los pequeños logros fortalecerán el sentido de identidad y de confianza del bebé.
Toward the end of the first year, you'll notice changes in the way your baby plays. Your baby's individuality is beginning to surface. For example, your baby might delight in making unique sounds on a musical instrument. Push a toy one day; pull it another. Imitate your dance steps or invent some. Scoot on a ride-on down the hall with bravado, then look back to see if you're watching. Your baby welcomes a chance to be free and test different preferences. Encourage baby's budding individuality with your frequent approval. Help your baby feel "what I'm doing is great."
With your baby's new physical abilities, you both might have fun with a first "sport" like rolling a large ball to each other, seated on the floor, legs apart. For more of a challenge, there are baby-friendly sports sets based on the real action of baseball, basketball, bowling and other games. Babies may not understand they're playing a sport, of course, but they respond eagerly to cheering parents who call for a home run. The interaction with parents helps babies feel like they've achieved something special and gives their independent actions important support. Way to go, coach!
From time to time, you may notice that your baby ignores favorite toys or doesn't give a new one a second glance. What's going on? Babies usually focus on only one thing at a time, so when their attention is caught up in physical achievements like crawling, sitting up, cruising or walking, their interest in toys fluctuates. They may take a break from cruising to play, or even drag toys with them. Babies have their own unique rhythm of activity, and by observing your baby, you'll find the "hot" activity of the moment. Indulge it. For example, if your baby's passion is cruising, provide a safe environment for baby to "cruise" and explore. Allowing your baby to try new experiences encourages a unique individual to develop.
