Mothers will gradually find that their babies have become "unruly":
Toys are not fun, pick up is thrown;
In addition to toys, I also throw everything I can catch (my mother, whose phone has been thrown to a broken screen many times, said that her wallet hurts)...
Say no, criticize him loudly, he will throw harder...
Especially by the age of 10 months, this situation will become more and more intense.
Some mothers will feel that the baby is naughty and mischievous, the toy is thrown everywhere, and after picking it up a few times, they are impatient and put away everything.
"Throw something"
It is the baby who is practicing the ability to release
Like gripping, the ability to release is slowly evolving. When the baby is just born, no matter what we put in his small hand, he will grasp it hard, which is actually not an autonomous grip, but a reflex action.
When the baby continues to have the opportunity to grasp the object, the sensation in the hand will be fed back to the brain, and it will also stimulate the development of the myelination process, which gradually develops into a conscious grasp.
Initially, the grip is only involved by the fingers, the thumb is not involved, and gradually the thumb is involved, until the baby develops a high-grade clamp finger, and then the palm. If we carefully experience the process of opening and clenching the palm, we will find that opening the palm also requires force, and our brain needs to control the hand movement. Therefore, the baby's practice release is also a part of the development of fine hand movements.
The release is unconscious at first, but after the release, the baby can see a natural result - something falls down and even makes a "bang"!
The more this experience, the baby realizes that his movements will have an impact on the environment, and he will consciously practice this action, so we will see the baby constantly throwing things, from unconscious release to conscious release.
Understand your baby
Mothers can also take the initiative to help the baby "throw"
Understanding the needs of babies, mothers understand that we need to provide babies with many such opportunities. If you put everything away, your baby won't have a chance to practice!
In fact, as your baby's motor skills develop, we also have to provide him with different items to practice releasing abilities, such as from larger items to smaller items - items that can only be released by opening the palm of the hand completely. When your baby learns to release, we will also show your baby how to place it gently, inviting them to further control their movements.
In Montessori classrooms, teachers often give babies this point of consciousness - "Listen, the teacher didn't make a sound when he put down the kettle!" "In this way, the child is invited to gently place and strengthen control.
