In this article:

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 large quantity 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. Parents should be allowed to be present during classes, as 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 earlier 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 this 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 a separate room from their parents and 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.

How to develop a child through games?

You need to understand that play is the baby’s leading activity in preschool age, and at one and a half years is the main one. That is why a child must also be taught and developed through play.

Dress up game. To arouse your baby's interest in the process of dressing, you can play with him, dressing and undressing the baby doll. Put on socks, a suit, a coat, a hat and mittens with the baby doll (you can borrow it from the child himself). Pay attention to the crumbs with what pleasure the baby doll gets dressed and how he helps his mother with his hands and feet. Offer the baby to dress and undress the baby doll without your help.

Shop game. Children enjoy playing this game any preschool age. Invite your child to play the role of first the buyer and then the seller. Place vegetables and fruits and various items on the “counter” and invite the baby to make purchases, paying with fictitious money. It will be great if you can use real scales, abacus, and calculator, just like they do in a real store.

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.

Games for developing motor skills. To stimulate speech development at 1.5 years old, you can play games with your baby that can develop fine motor skills hands For example, a great option is playing with kinetic sand, from which you can sculpt towers, tunnels, animals, etc. You can also get your baby interested in drawing. finger paints, making sure to preserve his first works.

Picking beans, buttons or large beads (necessarily under the supervision of adults) will also help develop the motor skills of the baby’s fingers and will allow you to pass the time with benefit and interest.

Monitor the physical development of the baby at one and a half years old, but do not forget about the psycho-emotional development, which will be more active with the interest and constant participation of adults in the process.

A series of articles "The best educational games for children from 1 to 3 years old."

Didactic games: nurturing cognitive activity in a child

Our tasks:

Teach the baby collect didactic double toys(example: matryoshka).
Teach a child sort items by size, if possible - call them: “big”, “smaller”, “small”.
Teach a child (with your help) collect a pyramid first from two different-sized rings, and then from three.
Continue develop fine motor skills of hands crumbs, training subtle actions with smaller objects (for example: lacing, small inserts, transferring beads from container to container, under your supervision).
Introduce your child to toys and items that publish various sounds.

Sample didactic games:

Pyramid game

Develop precision of movements and eye when performing correlating actions and determining the position of objects in space.

To play you need: colored pyramid (one color - so that the child sees the difference in the size of the rings, without being distracted by the difference in their color). It’s good if the pyramid consists of three rings, but if there are more, then the extra ones need to be removed. A “toy family” set: dad, mom, son (daughter) - these could be, for example, hedgehogs.

We play:

Invite your child to play, sit him down at the children's table, and say: “Now a family of hedgehogs will come to visit us!”, then put a family of toys on the table, role-play the meeting situation. Let each toy have its own name, and everyone will greet the baby.
“Let’s treat the guests” - and then you put a pyramid on the table. Her different-sized rings will be plates! “Look, Papa Hedgehog is big! Mother Hedgehog is smaller, and daughter Hedgehog is small.
Help your child take the pyramid apart if he doesn't do it first. Draw the child's attention to the fact that the core of the pyramid remains empty.
Having laid out the rings in front of the child in the order of the sequence “big, smaller, small”, describe this sequence to him again. Ask the baby to give the hedgehogs a plate. Perhaps the baby will be able to orient himself and distribute the rings correctly: big for Dad, smaller for Mom, small for Daughter.
When the hedgehogs “eat”, you need to collect the plates. Take the pyramid rod and invite the child to put a large ring on it first. If the baby finds it difficult, then comment on your actions and do it yourself. Smaller ones are also placed sequentially on the large ring. The second time, let the child do it on his own; folding the pyramid develops the eye and coordination of movements well.
At the end of the lesson, draw the child’s attention to the result - a beautiful, even pyramid - “This is how we can do it!”

Note: For the game it is also good to use sets of 2-3 same-color (but different in color from each other) pyramids.

Playing with caps

To play you need: Inserts - colored cubes, caps (cones) or "bowls" (cylinders) - 8 inserts in a set.

We play:

It will be great if you can bring your dad and (or) grandmother (grandfather, sister) into the game. If everyone is busy, then toys can be used as the other two “partners”. For example, invite Bear and Bunny.

From the assembled set of inserts, remove the top cap and place it in front of the baby, mark its color. Next, a set of caps moves towards you, and you remove the second one and place it in front of you. Then, the caps move towards dad, and he again removes the top one; the set “goes” to grandma, and then goes around the second circle. As a result, each player has two caps of different sizes.
Show with your example how a smaller cap can be hidden under a larger one. This moment is consistently repeated by all players. Then you can show how to build turrets - small caps are placed on large ones.
Next, the caps, starting with the smallest, sequentially moving in a circle, are hidden according to the “smaller under the larger” principle. So the entire set of objects “collapses”, taking on their original form.
The caps can then be "lined up" one after another in descending sizes, and then they can become one tall tower. Draw your child's attention to the result: a large beautiful tower of multi-colored caps. Encourage your little one to assemble such a tower on his own: “That’s how great you did it!”

Note: To begin with, this large activity can be divided into 4 small ones - each step is a separate mini-game. And then put it together into one – a comprehensive one. In all parts of the game, it is necessary to show the baby the sequence of actions and the result, to attract his attention to two properties at the same time - the size and color of each insert, to encourage him to repeat the names of the colors.

This game can be played with sets of other forms of inserts. The insert game is different because it has many variations.
Your creative activity and bright emotional coloring of the game contribute to the most successful development of the child.

Game "Two nesting dolls"

To play you need: Two small collapsible nesting dolls.

We play:

Give your child two nesting dolls - a large one and a small one; draw his attention to their size, ask him to show where the big and where the small nesting doll is. Let the child look at them and play.
Teach your baby how to open nesting dolls. If necessary, help your child remove the upper parts from both nesting dolls, and then assemble them, paying attention to the size of the parts.
Show how the small nesting doll “hides” in the big one.

Car game

To play you need: Three or four cars of different sizes; two garages with openings of different sizes - corresponding to the size of the cars. Such garages can be made quite quickly from cardboard boxes.

We play:
Place the garages on an elongated surface - a “road” (board, table, bench). The game is that the cars need to be transported along the road into the holes corresponding to their size.
Make sure that your child drives the cars with both his right and left hands.
Game options: You can take cars of the same size and different colors. Either garages or roads must match the color of the cars. The task will be to match the car to the garage (garage) by color.

Construction game "ladder"

To play you need: 12 bricks, a stable toy or matryoshka.

We play:
The goal of the game is to build a ladder out of bricks. Playing as a matryoshka doll, ask your child to teach it to climb the ladder. To do this, together they build a ladder of “bricks” placed one on top of the other (sequence: three cubes on top of each other, two, one).
Let the baby “lead” the nesting doll along the ladder, lifting it from step to step. Then he lowers it. The constructed ladder can be played in different options: other toys also go up and down along it.

Story-based educational games: introducing your baby to the world around him

How do story games differ from the previous period of a child’s life?

Unlike story games of the previous period, more detailed stories are now staged, and a larger number of accessories for toys are introduced into the game (outerwear, stroller, pacifier, bottle).

Now you need to kind of “follow” the baby in the game, giving him the opportunity to be more active than before, to build on his own or make his own adjustments to the game plot. Therefore, now the game requires more independence, imagination and invention from the child.

What to do if the child is passive in the game?

If the baby does not take the initiative in the game, does not show activity, then you need to lead the game according to your scenario, while giving the baby a choice of options for action in the game. Approximate options for story games for a child aged 1 year 6 months. – 1 year 9 months You can watch below.

Examples of educational story games:

Games-activities “Errands”

As before, with the help of game-activities “Errands” you can learn to find the object you named, but now the task can be gradually complicated: orders can consist of two interrelated actions. When doing something around the house, involve your baby in joint actions: “Please bring a rag.. Thank you!”, and you can also ask for help putting toys back in place, children’s clothes in the closet, picking up a fallen object, etc.).

Game scenes “Everyday situations”

You also need to continue to show everyday situations with a doll, gradually complicating them, for example:

Show dressing the doll (consolidating knowledge about outerwear: coat, scarf, hat). At the same time, it is necessary to explain to the child what is being done and why: “We dress the doll so that it does not feel cold: we put on mittens so that the hands do not freeze; We put on a hat so that our heads don’t freeze…”;
to cultivate interest and love for work: “Washing a dress for a doll”, “Repairing toys and books”;
show episodes from the baby’s daily life;
show the relationship between toys (for example, the Hedgehog came to visit Mishka, brought him a gift - jam; Mishka treats the Hedgehog - gives him tea. Together they offer the baby to drink tea, treat him with jam;
introduce the child to the names of different objects, pronounce their size and color.

Game: The doll goes for a walk (We study outerwear items and their purpose)

To play you need: Doll (average: 30-40 cm; if you have a boy, then let the doll be also a boy, if it is a girl, then the doll is a girl). Doll clothes: if it’s summer – a dress (or a light suit), a hat, socks, shoes (boots)…; if it’s winter: coat (fur coat), pants, scarf, hat, boots... A toy stroller (in summer), or a sleigh (in winter).

We play:

When going for a walk, invite your child to take a doll with him. First the doll is dressed, and then the baby. When dressing a doll, pay little attention to the fact that when people go for a walk outside, they dress according to the weather, so that they are not hot (in summer), but warm (in winter).
“Look, the doll has the same clothes as you. You have pants, and dolls have pants. Here is your hat, and here is the doll's hat. Everything is like yours!” - so you draw an analogy between the doll’s clothes and the child’s own clothes.
Slowly show the baby the entire doll's wardrobe, name each item, tell what it is for, invite the baby to touch one thing or another, note its color. At the same time, you talk for the toy, ask the child questions, ask him to say new words, etc.
After you take the doll and the baby outside, let him place it in a stroller (sleigh) and roll it along a flat path, and the sleigh can also go down a hill. They can also ride down the slide in turns - now the doll, now the baby. Try to fill this game with fun, jokes, and laughter. It would be great to add a little poetry into the game, for example this nursery rhyme:

The sled is rolling down!
Hold on tight, doll,
Look, don't fall,
There's a ditch ahead!

And in the summer you can change it a little (by rolling the doll down a small children's slide):

Let's go down the hill!
Have fun, Katya, roll!
Look, don't fall,
There's a ditch ahead!

Game options: You can play games with other toys in the same way. For example, with a bear (instead of clothes, you can wrap it in a diaper).
If it’s summer outside: you can play “hide and seek” with the doll, look at leaves, insects, collect flowers in a small bouquet, etc.;
If it’s winter: “dig” snow with a shovel, put it in a bucket, carry it in a sled, etc.

Game "Dishware for a doll"

We consolidate the child’s knowledge about the purpose of tableware and teaware (play sets).

To play you need: Doll (and/or other toy), doll tableware and teaware (sets).

We play:

“Doll Katya wants to eat. What should be done? That's right, she needs to be fed." - you say, and put two sets in front of the child: a table set and a tea set.
Encourage your child to independently solve problems such as selecting and searching for necessary items: “What does Katya need to eat soup? A plate and a spoon! Where are the plate and spoon? Here they are!” The doll is eating soup. “And now the doll wants to drink tea, what does she need for this? A mug! Here, Katya, drink a mug!”

Game "Vegetables"

We introduce the child to the names of vegetables and teach him to compare them with the corresponding pictures.

To play you need: A set of vegetables: cucumber, tomato, cabbage, carrots (you can use a toy set, but better, real, well-washed vegetables). Pictures corresponding to these vegetables.

We play:

Show and name each vegetable to your child. Let him touch, play with them, and taste real vegetables.
Teach your child to compare objects and their images in pictures. In the process, you can use folklore stories (rhymes, poems and riddles about vegetables).

Note. Rhymes create an emotional background for communication, but are not designed for a child to remember them.

By the age of one year and six months, the child begins to develop speech - the most important tool, thanks to which others begin to perceive the baby as a full-fledged member of society, capable of expressing himself. And the baby tries to use the new skill, makes attempts to tell others about his feelings and desires. It is important at this moment to support the need to speak, and not switch to sign language or use lightweight words. Your child is quite ready to listen and comprehend complex words. And the time is not far off when he himself will compose sentences.

How to do and what to play with a one and a half year old child - games for babies at 1 year and 6 months

Of course, reading continues to be a source of new words and knowledge, broadening one’s horizons. There is no need to be afraid that the baby will not understand some words in the fairy tale or will not understand a complex sentence. After all, it is precisely listening to new words and speech structures over and over again that gives impetus to the further development of speech. It is important not to get carried away and not set the goal of mastering as many books as possible. Choose 4-5 of your favorites and re-read them periodically, gradually adding new ones. At the age of one and six months, children are very happy when they hear an already familiar text, when they imagine what will be discussed next.

Have an active conversation while walking with your baby , using as many adjectives and characteristics of surrounding objects as possible.

Light a candle and have your child blow it out. Exercise promotes the development of a child's lungs.

Hide and seek
Mom or another loved one hides, but at the same time constantly makes a voice, for example, saying “ku-ku.” The child is looking.

Difficulties in raising a one and a half year old child

Since your baby is already a fully formed personality, he may begin to resist your desires and, conversely, achieve his own. But, since he is not yet able to convey all this to those around him, he suddenly begins to be stubborn, capricious and even hysterical. It is necessary to try to switch the baby’s attention to something else, to distract it.

Do not try to adopt the style of simplified communication. Say “dog” and not “av-av”, because you are teaching your child, not him teaching you.

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 thing, 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

The 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.
