不同的阶段   不同的呵护

宝宝每天都在成长。在妈妈眼里，一个微笑、一个发音、一个小动作，每一个细节都是如此的值得关注。宝宝不同的成长阶段亦是妈妈最珍贵的片段，所以每个阶段都不能忽视。

第一阶段：0-3个月的宝宝—世界只有90度

尚未能控制自己的动作，只能聚焦于他眼前20—30厘米的距离，只能往上看。这个时期，宝宝：只有挥动手臂已觉得很有趣了。渐渐学会定睛观察事物，这种专注能力加速智力成长。爱听高而尖的嗓门声。喜欢爸爸妈妈对他说话。看见了“奶”源会表现兴奋。会迅速听懂自己的名字，当你叫他时，他会注视着你。会有情绪，如果你骂他，他会懂得不高兴。向他笑着说话，他会开心地笑。能看移动的物件，应让宝宝学习控制自己的头和视线。亦会积极的“咿呀”地回答大人的说话。因为这时候宝宝的动作是纯属天生反射性的，所以，宝宝需要特别细致的呵护。初生宝宝这时的活动能力有限，这位好奇的探索者只能利用其感官去认识及学习身边四周的事物，因此感官的发展于宝宝的初生阶段十分重要。如透过一些拥有黑白颜色、图案较大及颜色鲜艳、带有音乐及闪灯、以及不同质感的玩具来刺激宝宝的视觉、听觉及触觉的发展。

第二阶段：6个月或以上的宝宝—视觉扩阔180度

能够自行坐起来，又能够控制自己头部向左右上下摆动，可以向左看、向右看，眼界开阔了！他的世界豁然开朗，充满愉快。这个时期，宝宝：喜欢用手摸索，对人脸特别感兴趣；能认出陌生人并表示抗拒；5—6个月之间，他会很专注的观察自己如何用手指抓起东西；6个月已学会了“不可以”的意思；7个月还只能发出单音，9个月会忽然讲起复词；9个月左右，学会了坚决的，重复的说“不”；会立刻丢下同时放在他左手和右手的两个玩具；身体非常柔软，能有意识地举起单脚放在嘴边；能从重复犯错及失败中学习到新的技能；对感兴趣的玩具会专注观察，发声表示，甚至放到嘴边尝尝；能够将感官知识与动作配合起来，发掘新的世界；宝宝的活动能力增强了，除了可提供一些鼓励及帮助锻炼他翻身、爬行及独立坐着玩的玩具外，亦可开始提供一些可训练手眼协调，甚至一些可启发智力、有学习性、能增进思考、学习分辨或解决问题的玩具。

第三阶段：12个月以上的宝宝—360度探索世界

能够自行站起来，踏上第一步，扶着沙发边沿，即使走的跌跌撞撞，也令他感到无限兴奋。它可以向前踏、往后走，他的世界变得广角度，他能将感观认知与动作配合起来，发掘新的世界。

这个时期，宝宝：
