My family has a 9-month-old ＂social cow＂ baby, and life is much more interesting.

Every baby will be an independent individual, and the most gratifying thing for parents is that their children can communicate with the world independently.

Bao Ma @ Anan Cai from Lilac Mom App "parenting education" told everyone about her "social cow" baby development.

Recently, a new word-"social arrogance" has become popular.

Contrary to social phobia, social cattle people are not timid in social aspects. When this symptom happens to my 9-month-old baby, it is much more interesting.

Social cow disease, using this word to describe my baby, is simply too appropriate

A baby who will flirt in 9 months.

My baby is the kind of person who laughs at everyone, whether it is a familiar person or a stranger. Take the initiative to greet people when you see them.

Once I held her in the elevator and saw the takeaway brother holding milk tea in his hand. She excitedly pushed me hard, while her legs slipped straight down, and she kept laughing at my little brother. The little brother took the initiative to say hello to her, and she laughed even harder. After the little brother got off the elevator first, she still cocked her head and looked at it until the elevator closed.

A few days ago on Halloween, Bao Wa went to the mall to play. She is not afraid to see many people dressed strangely, and she is especially excited to pat others on the shoulder, or she will not let go of others’ bags. Once, a handsome guy was walking in front, and she caught someone’s backpack belt, and they were looking back, and she smiled at them. It seems to say: hey, handsome guy, don’t go, add a WeChat. This little girl, only 9 months old, is going to tease her?

My mother plays with her baby downstairs every day. My baby can often see the landlord. After a long time, the landlord is familiar with her. Sometimes people are too busy to pay attention to her, and they cry and ask for a hug, which makes them laugh.

Another time, I came back from the mall after 9 pm. When she saw the security guard at the door, she took the initiative to say hello to others. The uncle of the security guard, who is in his 40 s and 1.8 meters tall, is usually unsmiling and is also laughed at by her. Also said to her: Good evening, little friend. I guess what people are thinking is: this little girl is not afraid of me.

There are countless things like this.

Although my baby is still young, I can’t tell whether it will be this kind of personality in the future. But there is a saying, "A leopard cannot change his spots. From a high probability, I still hope that she can maintain such a character.

Cultivate "social cattle" babies

We do this.

A writer once said: As a parent, the greatest achievement is to cultivate children who get along with the world.

In fact, the reason why my baby has such signs of "social cattle" is because we are consciously cultivating and exercising her social skills.

Spend more time communicating with your baby every day.

Especially in the first six months, my husband and I spent time talking with our baby every morning. Even if it’s just simple words like "ahhh", "yaya", "doll" and "mom". Every time I talk to her, the baby is very happy.

My baby loves to laugh, probably because we often give her smiling faces.

Give children a sense of security

I have been doing psychological construction for my baby for a few weeks before I went to work after maternity leave. Tell her: mom is going to work, but she will come back as soon as she gets off work.

Although the baby didn’t understand, he always insisted on doing so. After work, every morning before leaving, I will smile and say goodbye to my baby. Going home at night to wash your hands is also the first time to hold the baby and tell her that mom is back from work.

These rituals will make the baby form a habit. The mother will disappear for a while at a fixed time every day, but she will come back and give the child enough sense of security. Instead of disappearing suddenly, it will make the baby feel scared.

Take the baby out more.

Because of the epidemic, in fact, we rarely take our baby to crowded places, but whenever we have the opportunity, we will take her outdoors or to the playground. Every time she sees other children playing, she makes a hullabaloo about excitedly.

Being able to adapt to the outside world is the most important.

Regarding the baby’s personality, many people think extroversion is better than introversion. But in my opinion, whether extroverted or introverted, they all have their own wonderful things.

Parents just hope that in the future, they can get along well with things around them and better adapt to changes in the outside world.
