At 1 year and 6 months, the child becomes more and more like a “perpetual motion machine” - his movements are swift, confident, and more independent. The baby already confidently walks, turns around and runs, easily overcomes uneven ground, and can swing toys in his hands while moving.

Physiological development of a child at 1 year and 6 months

The child’s body becomes physically stronger, the baby takes confident steps, runs, and squats. He is good at controlling his body, and at the same time he performs many actions meaningfully. When he wants to catch the ball, he puts his hands up with his palms up, and when he wants to “foot” the ball, he kicks it. The little fidget doesn't always manage to hit accurately, but every time he hones his skills.

In the second year of life, a child’s brain develops very actively, which explains his cognitive activity. And accompanying upbringing greatly influences the proper development of his brain and helps the baby navigate the world and absorb knowledge like a sponge.

Motor skills continue to develop: the child skillfully handles cubes, builds towers and other structures from them. The baby easily turns pages and turns door handles, drags a typewriter behind him on a string, draws, handles a spoon and fork well, and drinks from a cup and sippy cup. He can already play “make-believe” - when objects represent something else for him: for example, when cubes become cars, and sand molds become dishes.

Your baby understands your requests without gestures accompanying speech - that is, only verbally expressed. Moreover, the child begins to understand even a few requests that you make to him. For example: “Go to the bedroom and fetch the ball from there.” Gradually, the baby begins to pronounce ordinary words, and not their “childish” version. That is, if earlier baby He said “kitty-kitty” - now he says “cat”.

At 1 year and 6 months, the child begins the “why” period. He may ask “What is this?” literally about everything he sees. As a result, the vocabulary increases sharply - literally by several words a day - and by two years a fairly large vocabulary will appear.

By this age, a child should have an average of about 14 teeth.

Nutrition of a child at 1 year and 6 months

By the middle of the second year of life, when the child’s mobility is especially high, carbohydrates become the most important in the baby’s diet. Therefore, porridge, pasta, and bread should be especially common in a child’s diet. All this goes well with meat and vegetables - and vitamins, proteins and minerals are perfectly absorbed in this combination.

From sweets, you can start introducing jam, marmalade, jams into your child’s diet, monitoring the reaction of the baby’s body. If he shows signs of diathesis, immediately eliminate all sweets from his diet. It is better to cook jams, jams and preserves yourself - this way you will be sure that the product does not contain dyes, flavors or preservatives.
Closer to the middle of the second year of life, the baby can drink juices, jelly, natural non-carbonated drinks, and fruit drinks.

Eggs can be given not only boiled, but also in the form of a steam omelet from the yolks (of course, if the child does not have allergies). Closer to the middle of the second year of life, you can safely give cherries, currants, gooseberries, cranberries, blackberries, raspberries and lingonberries.

As for natural meat, the amount of its consumption per day for a child is 60-70 g. Vegetables must be present in a child’s menu at this stage of life, but salads made from raw vegetables are still too heavy food for a child’s stomach. In the middle of the second year of life, the following are still not recommended: mushrooms, canned food (except for children), bouillon cubes, caviar, seafood, salted, dried or smoked fish, carbonated drinks, semi-finished products (noodles, mashed potatoes, etc.), spicy sauces, fatty meats, coffee, cakes and pastries with cream, chocolate, chocolate glaze, shortbread and puff pastry products.

Skills and abilities of a child at 1 year and 6 months

Walking, running and jumping in a child of 1 year 6 months are characterized by increasing confidence. Motor skills also improve - many babies are able to put on socks, shoes or a hat if an adult helps them. In addition, in the second year of life, the child can eat independently.

The child’s ability to generalize improves—however, sometimes generalizations may be incorrect. For example, when he is asked to bring a ball, he may not bring a specific toy, but any thing (or things) that is spherical in shape. And when he is asked to bring a ball, he brings not the specific ball he usually plays with, but any one at his disposal. By the way, when a child is asked to bring several items, he always understands that what is required of him is not just one item, but rather a certain quantity.

In the second year of life, the connection with a toy or any other object that the child chose as early as infancy itself as a “sedative.” Usually children choose some object that they sleep with and never part with. This could be a blanket, teddy bear, pillow, etc. Such things give the child a feeling of security and moral support.

Games and activities with a child aged 1 year and 6 months

Imitation of adults in play is also very strongly developed in a child at this age. He loves to “read the newspaper” like dad, and if mom wipes the baby’s nose, he will then most likely wipe the nose of his favorite toy.

Do not under any circumstances throw away a toy or object to which your child is attached - even if it seems to you that it is high time to throw away this old thing. By doing this, you can cause severe mental trauma to the baby - and he will stop trusting you. If the item is really very dirty, wash it, but then be sure to return it to the baby.

Show your child an example of how to play pretend with various objects. For example, show how you can make a car or a train out of cubes, or how you can put something in a sand mold.

Draw your child’s attention to interesting things that you come across on a walk, read with him, listen to music, compose something, draw. It should be calm at home, and spending time with TV should be limited, replacing it with communication with parents and loved ones.

Medical support

If your baby develops stomach problems when introducing new foods to his diet, take him to the pediatrician. If your baby has a noticeable delay in speech development, visit a pediatric neurologist.

At 1 year 6 months, the child will need to undergo a stool test for worm eggs and enterobiasis, as well as a biochemical blood test.
Also, after consultation with a pediatrician, the 1st revaccination against whooping cough, diphtheria, tetanus and the 1st revaccination against polio are carried out.

In addition, in the second year of life, you should visit a dentist, who should check whether the child’s teeth are growing correctly and give recommendations on oral care.

Analyzing the physical development of a child at 1 year and 6 months, pediatricians primarily evaluate height, weight, and head circumference. These indicators differ for boys and girls. The table below shows the average indicators, which, according to pediatricians, confirm that a child of one and a half years is developing normally.

At one and a half years old, babies already have enough teeth, so they are transferred to common table with a children's menu (food prepared in such a way as to preserve more useful substances). On average, a one and a half year old child should have about 14 teeth. It should be taken into account that each baby has its own development schedule, so some deviations from the norm are allowed (up to 4 teeth).

Daily routine of a one and a half year old baby

At 1 year and 6 months, most children only need one nap lasting two to three and a half hours. Nevertheless, parents should observe the baby and be sure to take into account his personal needs. For example, if the baby is very tired and needs two days of rest, you need to rearrange his daily routine in accordance with this.

You need to switch to a new daily routine gradually, as the baby is ready for changes. New conditions should become comfortable for him, conducive to active development. The duration of daytime sleep during this period is 11 hours, total time wakefulness extends to 5.5 hours.

The child eats a day at intervals of 3-4 hours, that is, 4 times, while having breakfast no later than an hour and a half after waking up, and having dinner no later than an hour before going to bed.

Psychological characteristics of a one and a half year old child

At one and a half years old, the child is balanced and businesslike. He is no longer so afraid of sharp sounds or strangers, he understands a lot. Now it is clear to him what is in the sound washing machine or a vacuum cleaner there is no hidden danger that strangers will not harm it, especially if parents are nearby.

The baby is especially attached to close people, trusts them and enjoys spending time with them playing games and on walks, and shows favor towards guests. Despite the apparent confidence, a child at this age still needs the constant presence of the most important person in his life - his mother. From her he expects support, praise, and he feels completely safe with her.

At this age, you can begin to work on expanding your child’s horizons by enrolling him in school. early development or a children's club. The presence of parents should be allowed during classes, since separation from them can be stressful for children at this age.

At one and a half years old, children try to imitate adults in everything, from speech to the manifestation of emotions in a given situation. They still need the company of their elders, but are already able to enjoy independent play for some time. So, if previously the baby transferred the actions of adults to toys, copying their behavior, now in the game he is able to come up with his own scenarios. Bringing your own ideas to life inspires your child, especially if everything goes according to plan.

One-and-a-half-year-old children also show some progress in communicating with peers. They show interest in other children, but do not yet consider them as like-minded people and friends. Kids are still confident that they are the center of the universe, and are not ready to tolerate violations of boundaries. Children do not share their toys, and they are offended if they do not receive other people’s toys upon request. This is not greed, but a behavioral feature characteristic of age, so it makes no sense to fight it yet.

At one and a half years old, children are already able to experience and demonstrate the first negative emotions. They don’t have many words in their active vocabulary yet, but that doesn’t stop them from showing dissatisfaction with others accessible ways: Children can throw tantrums, fight, fall on the floor, hit the ground with their fists if something doesn’t go the way they want.

Parents must understand that these are not whims, but the only possible at the moment a way for a child to explain that he is upset and needs understanding. Swearing, let alone assault, is inappropriate here. Only kindness and patience can help solve the problem. It will be enough to switch the baby’s attention to something else so that the hysteria quickly stops.

Basic skills of a child at one and a half years old

A one and a half year old baby can already do and know a lot. In most cases, a healthy child is able to:

A special leap can be noted in the intellectual development of a child at one and a half years old. Typically children are capable of the following:

• find an object from the picture;
• distinguish objects of different geometric shapes;
• select suitable holes for objects (insert games);
• assemble and disassemble the pyramid, taking into account the size or color of the parts;
• draw lines, strokes, simple geometric shapes with paints and pencils.

Some changes also apply to the play of a 1.6-year-old child. Typically they are as follows:

Household skills are most often expressed in the following:

• the baby confidently drinks from a cup and does not spill;
• uses cutlery and napkins;
• makes first attempts to control the bladder, tries to use the potty;
• puts on and takes off some items of clothing, etc.

Also, many babies at this age move to separate room from their parents, they learn to fall asleep independently in their own bed.

How does a baby's speech develop?

By the age of one and a half years, most children achieve significant progress in speech development. They not only understand most of what adults say, but also try to speak with them as equals, using individual words, phrases and simple sentences.

At the age of one and a half years, children show almost all parts of the body on themselves, on toys, and on adults, naming them, carry out simple tasks, and are able to select from a group of different objects those that have a common feature (shape, color, size, purpose).

Most children already have several dozen words in their active vocabulary; they know what sounds animals and birds make, imitate the sounds of cars, rain, thunder, etc. More and more correct words appear in the baby’s speech, which gradually replace babbling. Imitating adults, children try to use adverbs, pronouns, and replenish their stock of verbs and adjectives.

In girls at this age, phrasal speech develops more actively than in boys, who continue to use facial expressions and gestures, trying to communicate this way with adults and peers out of habit rather than out of reluctance to speak.

At one and a half years old, a special achievement for a child is the ability to generalize objects in speech,
both in your own and in those addressed to him. It’s still difficult for him, so mistakes are inevitable. Nevertheless, from this age the active vocabulary begins to grow rapidly.

It is important that parents continue to communicate a lot with the baby, answering all his questions, describing their own actions and what is happening around. This approach is the only correct one to stimulate speech development at this age.

The age of the “why”

At one and a half years old, babies begin the first stage of the “why” age. They already know how to ask questions and try to learn as much as possible from adults about everything that surrounds them. A strong desire to learn about the names of the objects around them accelerates the replenishment vocabulary crumbs. At this age, the baby learns several new words every day, tries to remember them and, if necessary, uses them.

Parents need to understand that children at this age absorb information like a sponge, so songs, poems, fairy tales and jokes must be part of their communication with the baby. Children learn new words especially well while walking. Together with your child, you can learn counting rhymes and funny couplets, having fun and helping his development.

Game "Who Lives in the Forest?" A fun game for little ones. It will be enough to select a few pictures depicting forest inhabitants. You can show your child pictures, asking “Who is this?”, invite him to show the body parts of animals and name them, imitate the sounds they make.

Peculiarities physical development baby this month

Now that your baby has been able to walk for months, he is much better able to stand on his feet. As a rule, he falls less, is able to turn well, hold toys and even swing them on the go, and easily overcomes uneven ground. Kids at this age love to climb ladders, various interior items, climb gymnastic walls, slides, and everything that is possible.

It is advisable to give the little climber as many chances as possible to practice this, while maintaining safety and good supervision. In a child's world, practice and constant repetition are the most important things, because in this way acquired skills are reinforced. Therefore, you should not be surprised if your child climbs constantly, in any environment. If, for example, a chair in your living room has already been mastered, the baby will want to start conquering a chair at his grandmother’s, or a chair in a store. If he has already conquered the stairs in your house, he will tackle the neighbors’ steps to cope with them too. Over the next few months, your child will have to learn other interesting, more complex motor skills, such as jumping or running.

And every new step forward will help to gain strength, give confidence and independence. Approaching the age of one and a half years, the baby becomes like a bundle of energy and resembles a restless perpetual motion machine. Your child's motor skills and coordination continue to develop. He can already build a tower of three to four cubes, throw a ball, drag toys behind him on a string, turn pages and turn door handles. Also, the child can already put and take things out of drawers, boxes and use cutlery (although not as carefully as you would like), he is able to quench his thirst from a sippy cup and draw his own children's masterpieces (mainly on furniture and wallpaper) . At the same time, the concept of “make-believe play” is being mastered, so your child can use his old toys from a new perspective. Cubes can play the role of boats and airplanes, a toy on a string can turn into a stroller, molds can become cups, and plasticine can become donuts. Watch how your child can use his or her imagination while you can see how your child uses his motor skills to use creative approaches to play.

The child and his social development at 1 year and 6 months

A child and his intellectual development this month

Around this age, your baby may ask questions: “What is this?” about almost everything that comes into his field of vision. The desire to learn the names of objects around him contributes to intensive replenishment of vocabulary at the age of approximately 18 to 20 months. Once a child enters this phase of rapid increase in word usage, he becomes capable of learning up to several new words per day. (You may be amazed at what comes out of his little mouth!) Because language learning at this stage is based on repetition, babies tend to enjoy simple songs, finger games, and games using fun words and sounds. Children can often practice using new words before bed, or during a walk, so you should not be surprised to hear your child constantly repeating “siskin, dog, Petka the bully” (or his own version of this work). Children quickly understand the power of words, especially when they see that with the help of words they can get what they need.

What does a one and a half year old baby look like? The changes in the baby are immediately visible: his face has acquired a more meaningful expression than it had a couple of months ago, his body has noticeably lengthened. He continues to explore the world around him with the help of his parents. The general development of a child at 1 year and 6 months suggests increased physical activity of the baby, when he tries to visit all the places of interest to him at once. Therefore, parents should pay increased attention to his safety.

What a one and a half year old baby can already do:

1. Walks without assistance and runs awkwardly.
2. Climbs on and off the sofa independently.
3. He eats himself using cutlery.
4. Shows interest in wind-up toys, trying to wind them up on his own.
5. He tries to draw with a pencil, making funny doodles.
6. Knows how to build structures from cubes.
7. Recognizes the designation of parts of his body.
8. He is potty trained and can ask to use it himself.

Speech development of a baby at 1.5 years old

A child at this age already speaks well. Can pronounce simple words or ask simple questions: “What is this? Where are you going? The baby imitates adults and imitates their words and expressions. The speech development of a child at 1.5 years old implies the child’s ability to recognize several colors and animals in pictures. The baby's speech is accompanied by gestures and facial expressions that express his feelings at the moment.

Social development of a child at 1 year and 6 months

At this stage of development, the child has a predominant egocentric view of the world. For him, the concept of “sharing” does not exist. He believes that all the objects and toys around him belong only to him. If he does not get what he wants, he can scream loudly, cry and fight. It is typical for him to push or hit a neighbor's boy, taking away the desired thing from him.

Very often during this period the child does not obey his mother, fights, bites, and fights with other children. But this is just another way to assert one’s autonomy, determine the limits of one’s own capabilities and acquire the skills to defend one’s interests. You should react to these factors calmly, without shouting or reproach.

Physical development of the child

On the part of parents, there is a need to improve the child’s independent walking, his orientation in space and coordination of movements.

A few exercises in this direction:

• We put the empty basket on the floor and throw toys into it one at a time with the baby, moving a short distance away. This exercise develops the eye and precision of movements in space.
• When walking with a baby, we change directions: first we go to the swing, then to a tree or bench. This exercise will help you master changing orientations.
• We teach the child to walk along a narrow path or inclined board, supporting him by the arms. You can also jump over bumps, grooves and other obstacles.

Feeding a child at 1.5 years old

During this period, the baby already has four meals a day. It is not necessary to grind all the food - just mash it lightly with a fork. Berries, soft fruits and boiled vegetables can be given whole or cut into pieces.

Fried foods should not be given to your baby - the food must be boiled or steamed. If your baby is not eating well, his food needs may have changed. Therefore, the child’s menu should be varied and constantly improved.

Baby's sleep

By the age of 1.5 years, the child sleeps only once during the day. The second nap can be short - only 40 minutes. Night sleep takes about 12 hours. This is quite enough to charge the baby with energy to explore the world around him throughout the day. The day should be organized so that the main physical activity occurs in the first half of the day.

The evening should be spent more calmly, folding cubes and looking at pictures. Excessive evening activity can cause a child to scream at night and be capricious before falling asleep.

Games for a one and a half year old baby

How to develop a child during this period? How can you interest this fidget? For quality sensory development When a baby is 1 year and 6 months old, it is necessary to play different types of games with the baby:

• Construction - using a constructor or cubes to make various devices for dolls (cribs, houses).
• Thematic fun - bathing, feeding, putting dolls or bears to bed, flying with an airplane, jumping with a bunny.
• Didactic - for these games we use nesting dolls and pyramids with rings.

Parents' flight of fancy should not be limited. After all, the main thing is that the baby has fun. You can play with the cereal, pouring it from one container to another. This develops fine motor skills of the hands.

Send

Alarm bells for parents:

1. A child at 1 year and 6 months does not speak a single coherent word.
2. By the age of 1.5 years the baby does not walk.
3. The elementary game of “okay” is difficult for him.
4. The baby expresses all his needs only by screaming and crying.
5. He walks only on his toes.
6. Deliberately hits his head on the sides of the crib or other objects.

Child's emotional development:

• is surprised by new objects and frightened by unexpected actions
• easily switches from one subject to another
• rejoices and laughs when he succeeds at something
• expresses his disagreement by shouting
• perceives familiar people joyfully, unfamiliar people with caution
• “infected” with emotions - may cry if someone around him is crying and vice versa

Baby care

Due to the fact that the baby is already familiar with the potty, there is no need to frequent washing. However, daily hygiene procedures remain the same: brushing teeth, bathing and washing. Walks in the fresh air are required - at least 2 hours.

Sometimes at this stage of development, the baby himself shows the first signs of cleanliness: he wipes his dirty hands or asks to wash them, holding them out in front.

Parameters of a one and a half year old child

For boys, a height of about 77 cm is considered normal. For girls, a little more than 79 cm. Weight for boys should be about 11-11.5 kg, for girls - about 10.5. At this time, babies develop their upper canines and first molars. Very often, the teething of fangs is accompanied by discomfort in the child, so it is worth using various soothing ointments and gels.
