Research has shown that babies with whom they interact even before they are born grow up to be more sociable and self-confident. They also start to speak earlier than their peers, learn foreign languages more easily and demonstrate a higher IQ. How to communicate with a child while he is still in the womb? We will tell you about 4 ways to do this for the benefit of yourself and your baby.
The words
Almost every pregnant woman talks to her unborn child - this is the easiest way to maintain communication with him. Do not hesitate to communicate with the baby, put aside the thoughts that you are talking to yourself - the baby really hears everything, remembers the mother's voice and calms down.
You can start talking from the very moment of conception. In this case, you will get used to communicating with your baby, and it will become a natural process for you. Just keep in mind that in the first weeks, the vital systems of the crumbs are born, so he still does not hear anything. But from the 8th week of intrauterine development, the child begins to respond to sounds and distinguish them.
Conversations are beneficial when they are diverse. Therefore, the expectant mother needs not only to comment on something, but also to read children's poetry, perhaps even to tell some things in another language - according to scientists, this is how the ability to learn foreign languages is laid in the child's womb. It will be nice if not only mom, but also dad, brothers and sisters, if any, will communicate with the baby.
Touches
Pregnant women love to stroke themselves on the belly, tickle it, gently push in places where the baby is moving. This really needs to be done - verbal communication is a great way to establish contact.
Movements can be diversified:
- Draw different shapes on your stomach with your finger and explain: "This is a flower, this is the sun, this is a house, and here you are, my dear, here are your eyes, nose and mouth."
- Massage the abdomen - only very gently, avoiding pain and discomfort. Then the little one will definitely like it.
- Invite the baby's dad, older children and other family members to interact with the baby by touching your belly.
Listening to classical music
Classical music is good for all people. It increases stress resistance, strengthens the nerves and even increases IQ by 8-9 units - for this you need only 10 minutes to listen to Mozart or another composer every day. Scientists have also proved that kids who listen to classics even before they are born are 4 times ahead of their peers in speech and mental development. In addition, in this way the child can learn to empathize with the melodies, be sad to it and rejoice. The baby can hear quite well - at the 8th month of intrauterine development, his hearing is already the same as that of the expectant mother, except that the volume of sounds for him is 3 times less.
Depending on the situation, the kid needs to play different music:
- Vivaldi's compositions soothe a baby raging in the stomach and help put him to sleep;
- the classics from Brahms and Bach can, on the contrary, invigorate;
- Chopin's music calms the child when something makes him nervous;
- Mozart's melodies stimulate the development of intelligence and activate the activity of the brain.
Singing
There is also a way to communicate with a child, which was used by our great-grandmothers - to hum little songs, paying special attention to lullabies. There are many benefits to singing:
[sc name = ”ads”]
- In this way, the expectant mother shares with the child the emotions and feelings that she herself experiences while performing the song.
- Along with listening to classics, singing has a positive effect not only on the emotional, but also on the mental development of the baby. There is even a scientific explanation for this: just music uses a large number of neurons in the brain.
- To a baby who has not yet been born, songs introduce him to musical creativity, developing his musical taste.
- The expectant mother has the opportunity to adjust the biological rhythm of the child: if you sing him a lullaby before going to bed, he will get used to falling asleep to this song. Now, by the way, there are different methods of singing for pregnant women - for example, "Sonatal", proposed by Professor Lazarev. It is based on the fact that there are more than a thousand songs that the expectant mother needs to perform, based on the time of day, regime, mood and behavior of the baby in the womb. As a result, the baby will learn to understand that a slow song means “time to rest,” a fast song means “to eat,” and so on.
- Singing benefits the expectant mother herself - it is both breathing training, an excellent way of relaxation, and an exercise for pain relief.
So there are plenty of ways to interact with your baby in the womb. They not only help to educate the unborn baby, but also give a chance to develop him intellectually and emotionally, instill in him the foundations of the regime and establish contact.
