My kitten scratches my children. I'm teaching the kids how to handle it properly. Until then, soft legs do the job?
I do not want declawed you do not like that idea. I want to try soft claws until my children learn to manage it properly. The two are children. But I want to know whether soft paws really work? Is it uncomfortable for my kitten? It is only 3 months old .. is too young? He is a good cat but my kids are rough with him and their natural reaction is to scratch them. I'm trying to teach him not to use their claws and keep children supervised when playing with him. But I need something to help until both learning. All suggestions are greatly appreciated!
That's great they do not want declawed! Declawing is cruel and is basically amputated fingertips. Soft claws are big and look pretty. They come in a smaller size kitty too. Here's the link. http://www.softclaws.com/ As for his children, yeah maintain supervision and teaching to be softer. The poor kitty is simply defending itself. You should keep pets and the kitten a lot, so get used to detainees. In addition, integrated to let their children play or when he / she have their children toys to throw him / her and tries to feed. Building confidence. And only a (delicate and guided by hands) playing little. Good luck!
Developing fine motor skills in babies and young children – fun and educational activities
It is well known and supported by research that the development of fine motor skills in infants and toddlers is directly linked to many important and complex brain functions, for example, language skills. This is why it is so important to monitor how those skills are maturing and whenever possible to help the child during games and do activities to help their development.
Here are some activities you can do to improve and develop the fine motor skills, just playing with your baby or toddler.
Games with dried beans, peas, lentils and other grains large
Many parents are reluctant to leave their babies and toddlers play with small objects because everything tends to end in the mouth. But playing with small objects is essential for the development of flexibility and strength of small fingers. If you supervise your child while playing with small objects (and in general simply means that you are playing with your baby or toddler) will always be able to catch the object before it lands in the mouth.
When buying beans and lentils to collect the variety color to make it more interesting. Things you can do:
* Place all beans in a large bowl (you can use a large pot). Have your baby or Toddler fill other smaller containers of different sizes and plastic bottles with beans with your hands or a spoon.
* Mix some other small objects (like beads or large marbles) with the beans and then to your baby or toddler to find the objects between the grains, take out and put in a separate container.
* Playing the game of cuisine: pretend you are making soup, porridge or anything your baby likes to eat. Have to move the food, " claim that the taste, then put a little plastic dishes and a dinner of pretending with dolls and stuffed toys.
Magic Bag
This game is so easy to do, and can be Great Fun. All they need is a medium size bag, even a small pillow will do the trick. Now fill the bag with something interesting can be found around the house. The objects should preferably be small and should vary greatly in shape and texture. And, of course, you has to ensure that all objects can touch, nothing sharp or easily breakable.
Here are some of the objects that you can put in the bag:
Spool of thread *
* Cotton wool ball
* Sponge
* The building blocks
* Marbles
* Toy Car
Key *
* Small Plush
* Rubber Ball
… And anything you can find around the house. The objects are in the bag, the most interesting the game will become.
The first and easiest stage of the game is sitting with her baby on the floor, get them to reach into the bag and pulls out one of the objects. Let your baby play with the object for a while. If it is a round, hard object like a marble rolling deal in the hands of her baby. If something soft, like cotton, stroke the hand of her baby. While you examine the object with your child ask questions like "How do you feel?" "Is it smooth? "" Does it feel soft? "Etc.
The next stage of the game can be played with children who are a little older and are starting to talk. Again, the child to achieve the object in the bag, but before I throw it have to guess what the object is. After carrying out some questions about the properties of the object (for example, what shape? What color it is, what do we use it? How is it used? Etc.)
Finger Listen
This is where you can exercise your fingers and hands as well as your imagination.
Rhymes
The famous Spider Itsy-Bitsy is a great game for the exercise of little fingers. There are also many others like Open, closed, this little piggy, and so on.
You can also make Your Own games
Pretend that the index and middle fingers are a small person, draw a path on a sheet of paper and try to get your child to walk with their fingers along the road. Show them how the person can "dance" and "jump" and try to get that repeat with their own fingers. You can even put some music to make it fun.
Finger Painting
paint with fingers is another easy and fun activity you can do the exercise of little fingers, finger paints can be purchased at any educational toy store.
Play-doh
Play-doh is enjoyable and educational activities for all ages. Play-doh is very versatile and above all, great fun! There are so many things you can do with clay, but here are some activities that help strengthen and playing the exercise of their little hands, while:
* Choose only 2 or 3 colors (preferably primary) to play so you can learn and play while
* Pretend that is bread dough and pinch the baby small pieces of it to feed stuffed animals
* Mix some large beads and buttons on the dough and get your baby or child to choose items
* Show how to roll dough between your hands or on your desktop
* Spread dough on a piece of paper with your fingers
Buttons
A button and unbutton the shirt is a skill that is not easy to master! Let your child try to button and unbutton their own shirts or dresses that have buttons. It's good exercise, even if they are frustrated at first and you have to complete the task for them.
You can also make a play mat with lots of buttons of different sizes and shape. Here's what to do if you want to make one:
Cut out a fun way out of some thick material like felt and sew on some buttons of different shapes and sizes. Now cut smaller shapes (use your imagination and maybe a stencil) and make a buttonhole on each form. If you are using the buttons of different sizes to ensure that the setting eyelets buttons, otherwise the child will get very frustrated. For the smaller forms you may want to collect the material is a little less thick to make it easier for children to handle.
Clothespins
Take a small bucket with sand and some clothes pins and multicolored get your child to try to decorate the edges of the bucket with clothespins. Learning to manipulate clothespins is great exercise.
Pin Art
This is a creative game mosaic is composed of small colored pegs and a board – you can buy in shops educational toys, or even online shops (Try searching on Google). Is intended to create different images of the mosaic, usually appears in the box by inserting small pegs into holes on the board. Whereas this is a great activity for older children, babies and toddlers not have the skills needed to understand the small pin with pliers (ability to maintain objects between the index finger and thumb). Some children already mastered that skill, but push the pins on the motherboard is still quite difficult. What might enjoy doing instead is pushing the pins by rotating the board over and pressing on them from within. The spikes can also be used to play games similar to those described in Section Playing with beans. Remember, any game where your baby or toddler is grasping, manipulating and holding small objects will be very beneficial for the development of fine motor skills.
Lace-up games
You can buy these games in educational toy stores or you can make one yourself. The shop you can buy are usually wood, come in different shapes and sizes, but the idea is always to pull a string through the holes, such as sewing. If you would like to pay you it is very easy. All you need is a thick piece of cardboard and a single hole puncher. Cut out a fun and interesting way of a piece of cardboard (eg a teddy bear, a flower, a star, etc..) You can make a coloring activity in the form, along with your toddler or even paste some brilliant cuts paper to make it look more interesting. After finishing and glue or paint to dry drill holes in several places in the form of cardboard, do not try to space uniformly do so randomly. Now all we need is a long shoelace.
Necklaces
This is a great exercise to help develop fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination and concentration yet. It requires patience and skills of the child but the parent must be patient too. Try to resist the initial impulse to help if your child is finding the task difficult at first. Children may feel helpless and less in control that their efforts are always interrupted and the task is completed by the parent. If they can do in the first round to the task the next time, they will get over time. The idea is treated. Necklaces can be made from different materials, and may even be edible. The best thing to do is decide beforehand who is the Collar (grandmother, toy giraffe, a friend), this will give the child a sense of purpose in what they do and make the whole exercise much more meaningful.
What you need:
* A long shoelace
* Accounts big multicolor
* Pasta shapes with wholes in them
* Round-shaped cereals like Cheerios
There are many other activities you can do to develop strength and dexterity of their small hands, but whatever you do, remember that the baby and learning the child should always be fun and not a chore.
