Many parents choose a variety of games to interact with since the birth of their child, but not all interactive games are suitable, including the mask experiment.
The mask experiment can be said to be relatively hot on the Internet recently, and when I brush the video on my mobile phone, I can often see many parents filming this experiment.
Therefore, in the mother group, I can also see some mothers ask questions about the masking experiment, for example, some mothers are entangled in why their children are always panicking when they do the experiment, and not as happy as the children in the video? This is actually because the mask experiment is not a game, so it is very normal for babies to react differently.
Let's take parents to understand specifically, what is the mask experiment? What does it mean that the baby reacts differently when doing this experiment?
What is a mask experiment?
The mask experiment was originally a means for doctors to conduct a medical physical examination of the baby, and the doctor can evaluate the baby's development through the results of the experiment.
The experiment is mainly to put a tissue on the child's face, and then by observing how the child will change, so as to make a judgment on the child's development, usually the experiment will be carried out when the baby is 4 to 7 months old.
Because the experiment is to temporarily strip the child's vision, and then judge whether the child can make a good response and response through other senses or organs, the doctor will also observe the child's development through some of the child's reactions and performances.
What does it mean for babies who do a mask experiment to have different reactions?
So when doing the mask experiment, babies with different development conditions will naturally have different performances, and the following will take parents to understand specifically what it means when babies react differently? What are the reactions that parents need to pay attention to after they appear?
Your baby removes the tissue with his hand
Usually half-year-old children will react more than children before the half-year-old when they perform face mask experiments, so they are more likely to tear down the tissues on their faces.
Because this shows that they already have enough hand strength to pull things off their faces, this is also a very important reference standard.
Usually the child can pull the tissue off, which means that the baby's development is very normal. If the baby can remove the tissue on his face before he is half a year old, then the baby's physical ability is very good.
Your baby has trouble breathing
Then, when performing the mask experiment, it is also more common for babies to have difficulty breathing. Because the child may be still relatively young, there is no way to adjust his breathing when performing this experiment, so there will be symptoms of breathing difficulties.
To this end, Li Hanjun, a doctor of child nursing, suggested that when the child is carrying out the experiment, if there is a manifestation of poor breathing, it can wait until the child is half a year old before proceeding. If after half a year of age, the baby still has difficulty breathing, then be sure to stop the experiment in time, and seek professional help to see what is the cause of the child's breathing difficulties?
The baby is acting very happy
So many parents hope that their children can have a happier performance when they carry out the mask experiment. This is because the child's performance reflects their strong sense of trust in the outside world, so they will show no fear in the mask experiment.
When such babies grow up, their sense of security is also relatively sufficient. Because people can still behave so happily when they are deprived of their vision, it means that their inner sense of security and trust in others is very high.
However, some mothers will ask questions: although her baby will be happier when she conducts the mask experiment, she does not tear off the tissue on her face with her hands like other babies, does this mean that there is any problem with the child's development? In fact, it is possible that the child's month is still relatively small, so they have not made such a move for the time being.
And some babies have a strong ability to adjust their breathing, so the paper towel is covered on the face, which will not bring them too much discomfort, so the paper towel will not be removed from the face. Therefore, parents may wish to try to cover their babies with a mask experiment after a while.
Babies show a strong sense of panic
Then some babies react more violently when they carry out face mask experiments, which I have seen when I brush videos. Some babies even had strong crying when they carried out the experiment, and even after the tissue was removed, this crying still persisted.
The reason why children have this kind of performance is actually related to their lack of inner security, so after the vision is deprived, they will express their uneasy emotions in this way.
Usually under this kind of performance, parents can try to give their children more security and let children trust their parents more. Then when the experiment is carried out after a period of time, if the child's fear is alleviated, it means that the child's problem in this regard has been greatly solved.
The baby keeps writhing
Then some babies will be like caterpillars, constantly twisting their bodies like caterpillars, as if to tell their parents that they are very uncomfortable, but there is no way to remove the tissues on their faces.
This kind of baby is often insufficient arm strength, so it is impossible to remove the tissues on their faces, so they will tell parents through the way of body twisting, hoping that parents can help them remove the tissues on their faces.
Usually, the physical strength of such babies is not particularly sufficient, so parents can carry out targeted training for their children. Then when the child is a little older in the month, he should be able to remove the tissue from his face through his own limbs.
What do I need to pay attention to when doing a mask experiment?
Many parents may treat the mask experiment as a kind of game when doing the mask experiment, so in the process of doing the experiment, they may ignore some details that should have been paid attention to.
Therefore, if parents conduct a mask experiment, they must pay extra attention so as to avoid unnecessary harm to the baby caused by the experiment.
Always observe your child's condition
Then when the baby is doing experiments, parents must always pay attention to the baby's condition. After all, the experiment is through the deprivation of vision, the child has some restrictions, and some smaller babies may still have breathing problems.
Therefore, when they conduct the experiment, it is likely that they will have problems such as poor breathing and panic, and if the child's psychology lacks a sense of security or dependence, it will also cause them to have adverse reactions in the experiment.
Therefore, in the process of carrying out, once the child has the above situation, parents must stop the experiment in time, and can wait for the child's month to be slightly older before proceeding.
If the child has always had adverse reactions, then it is best for parents not to conduct experiments again.
Control the timing of the mask experiment
Some parents do not know how long the experiment will last when they conduct a mask experiment on their children. They may have been putting tissues on the child's face in order to see the child's funny reaction, regardless of the child's body that is constantly twisting because of trepidation. In this case, it is likely to cause harm to the child's body and psychology.
In particular, some babies have shown a very strong sense of uneasiness when conducting experiments. Therefore, if parents force their children to conduct experiments, it is likely to leave a shadow on the child's heart, and even accompany the child to grow up, which is very detrimental to the child's growth.
In fact, it is mentioned in the "American Academy of Pediatrics Parenting Encyclopedia" that parents must take the child's feelings as the first priority when conducting face mask experiments on their children.
Therefore, when conducting experiments, we must control the time of the experiment, and if the child has a strong sense of uneasiness or adverse reactions, then it must be ended early.
Pay attention to observe the results of the experiment
Although the mask experiment is only an aid to observe the child's development, they can also reflect the child's general situation at each stage to a certain extent.
Usually after six months, if the baby after six months, there will be very strong adverse reactions, such as panic and crying, breathing difficulties and other problems, then it must be paid attention to.
Especially for babies around seven months old, if they still can't take off the tissues on their faces when they carry out the mask experiment, then parents also need to pay attention.
When the above problems occur, parents are best to take their children to the hospital for professional examination in time to see if there are any developmental problems in the child, so as to eliminate some unnecessary troubles.
Pay attention to your baby's month size
Some parents do not pay any attention to their children's monthly size when conducting face mask experiments. Generally, this experiment is carried out when the baby is 4 to 7 months old, so when the child is just two months old, if you do this experiment for the baby, it will not only bring unknown dangers to the baby, but also the results of the experiment do not have any reference.
Therefore, parents must not use the experiment as a game to interact with their children, otherwise they will cause harm to their children if they are not careful.
Presumably, as a parent, we all hope that the child can have a good growth environment, so similar to the auxiliary detection method of the face mask experiment, parents can use it in the process of their children's growth.
However, do not rely too much on these auxiliary means, if there is a problem, you should still go to the hospital as soon as possible for examination, so as to avoid more serious problems in your child.
