How can a mother improve herself?

If a mother wants to improve herself and does not want to fall behind and be beaten by society, how can she study while taking care of her children?

(1) Understand the characteristics of each stage of the baby’s growth and classify them according to time

Often when we are studying, we have many trivial matters and often different situations due to taking care of the baby at the same time. Such unexpected events make it impossible to have time to study and study with peace of mind. We must first understand the characteristics of our baby (such as work and rest time, physical development, etc.), feeding methods, growth environment, how to deal with abnormal situations (such as colds, fevers, illnesses, accidental injuries, etc.), etc., and then divide the time according to these aspects of the baby. Three categories: the first is the mother’s own private time; the second is the mother’s time to take care of and accompany her baby; and the third is fragmented time.

Baby mother’s time classification

For example, a baby who is about one year old will become sensitive to the people and things around him, and his ability to see things and his physical activity will increase day by day. , the emotional language has gradually become richer, and we need more time to interact with it. During this period, we need to take care of and accompany the baby with peace of mind.

For another example, children of this age usually go to bed around 9pm and wake up around 8am. They usually have to sleep once during the day. The length of time varies from person to person. Some children can take a nap. More than 2 hours (babies who stay up or get up to play in the middle of the night usually mean that they are not active enough during the day, or are uncomfortable and hungry). Many mothers use getting up earlier than their children or going to bed two or three hours later, or using their children's nap time as their own private time.

During the time spent taking care of the baby, there are actually a lot of fragmented time. We must learn to find time to study in fragmented time (for example, after the baby goes to bed at night, take ten minutes in your private time to record the key points of the day's learning, and play the recording to listen to the next day when the baby is eating complementary food or playing with toys. , which is equivalent to reviewing). Make a schedule based on your situation. The function of the schedule is to list certain standard activities for everyone, so as to prepare for the next step in advance (when arranging the schedule, be sure to leave flexible time to prevent unexpected things from happening). Only by taking good care of our beloved ones can we learn without worries.

(2) Determine motivation, find out learning goals, formulate feasible plans, and complete them in stages

Have goals and directions, and do not get confused when encountering difficulties

We The purpose of learning is mostly utilitarian. Some mothers study to prepare for returning to the workplace, some study because of hobbies, and some to learn a skill and earn milk powder money... First determine your motivation. This also determines your driving force. The strength from the heart can encourage you to persevere for a long time no matter what difficulties you encounter.
