how's your one year child old doing?

He sounds very, very normal! A one year old is learning about how the world works. To you, it looks like he is making a mess with the garbage can, but he is learning about gravity! I agree that stories at bedtime, when he is calming down, would be best. During the day, let him explore and burn off that toddler energy, as long as he is safe!

my doughter is 2-year old and she can walk alone, event she run very fast but sometime I still care of her when she run to the road, go up and down to stairs without aware of dangerous, she is able eat by herself but very lazy to eat. she is able talk but some words, she can hold some toys and play with it, she can watch TV and immitate actions of them.

All children are different it would seem. I believe that most one year old children are busy little ones enjoying taking foot steps and exploring everything they can land their hands on. My disabled toddler son has a drum that he enjoys playing with. My 16 month old daughter is fast moving and into everything. I have to guide her gently to make sure she is safe and happy. I am pleased to say that she enjoys holding and me reading picture books. I have put a book case in her bedroom. Some young boys are not keen on books until they are a bit older. I suggest reading your son a lovely story each night before he goes to sleep. I think a open the flap book would be engaging for your son. Board books with holes in are very tactile books. Good luck with letting your son enjoy literature.

my doughter is one year old and she knows do the sames as other people does. E.g she open the board, hold the chopstick and spoon, eat meat by hand, and cry when other people argument. she start step into strange world which teach her helpful things when she growup. I love my daughter and proud of her.

do not worry about your child too much. instead, worry about yourself worrying too much about him because without you being aware of it, you might have been "forcing" your child to experience things he is not yet ready to learn. there is no harm in watching tv because graphic or visual representations are proven helpful to learning and these shows are educational. you just have to insist a schedule or try to plan your day by creating various activities that includes harnessing his social skill, values, fitness, and health. further, i suggest that you read some books about parental psychology that are also available online. kids act according to their cognitive and physiological capabilities. there are age brackets for every skill or attitude that they may possess. just relax and be considerate. try positive reinforcement and the encouraging style rather than the authoritative pressure. we cannot expect our children to think according to our priorities or values yet. it took us a good couple of years to form it. breathe and try to remember what you were fond of doing when you were his age. this may help you understand your son better. :)

My son is 15 months old and when he started walking he stoped having iinterest in a lot of things he liked when he was just crawling.I think that when children start walking its like a whole new world and at new hieghts.They have some much more reach and more interest in things going on around them.What I did for my son was but his books in his toy box in his room and when he starts playing with it thats when we read.I would not worry about this much tho since the baby is still only an year old as your child gets older I think that they will take more interst in books and reading right now its just all about being on the go.

Boys are very active and prefer to poke around. There's nothing wrong with exploring, and I generally let my nephew poke and pull stuff around as he is developing his strength at this age. We just make sure that he does not have an accident doing this and so we all keep an eye on him. He does like to sing and dance and so I get him books which I read to him. He likes the ones with well-known songs and he would listen intently while I sing "the wheels of the bus go up and down..." to him. I think you should find out what he likes. Besides, he is a year old and I am sure he cannot read yet. You have to spend time with him, pointing out the drawings, reading to him.

wow. dear friend . so envy you . and i have not have a child till now. but i want to have one with my girlfriend. but i don't know how to care a child . and i am so young here. and is not so ready for this. but i will try to find better ways to be a better father in the future. thank you for your subject for studying more .

All children are different, id say at only 1 there is really no rush to get your child into books. Maybe get him into the habbit by reading a book with him at night. You can point to the pages and make funny sounds to get him really interested. And in the day time if he only wants to watch tv dont turn it on. And kids of that age do love to run around the house and not sit still to read a book. Its still very early so i wouldnt worry much. He has the rest of his life to read a book. Books with sounds, textures and bright colours are a really good read for kids. Hope this helps x
