Answer 1

Hi there !!!
What a lovely age 1 year old !!! They grow up so fast, like magic.

Baby einstein has wonderful books for your baby, so you can read to the baby.

I would also play some nice classical music for the child.

Massage your baby with baby massage oil, lavender essential oil is great ( blended with a carrier oil, it is safer to buy it made if you do not know how make it) Babies love to be touched gently by their mommy and daddy, physical touch is healing

When you say stimualte, does your child have any type of condition in which he needs stimulation?

If such is the case , you can find many ways to help your baby

To develop fine motor skills, place a finger food like cheerios when baby is sitting in the baby chair, this will help the baby develop his or hers fine motor skills, by picking up the small pieces and putting them in their mouth

You can play games in a small baby pool, ;supervised at all times though
while in water we can excercise our muscles , with no resistance

You can play games with music, and at the same time do physical therapy, without the baby even knowing it.
Depending on what type of stimulation is needed, what condition the baby has , if any, you can find online many great resources on physical therapy

Some of the games you can play

with some fun music the baby enjoys you can gently take the babys hands and gently lift the babys arms up above the babies head, then down, repeating this like five or six times
You can also excercise the babys legs, by gently bending the leg and then stretching it back out again
I would definitly get some guidance in person by someone who is doing this or by a physical therapist. Babies are very delicate

Please remember that touch is therapeudic , and we transmit our energy to the person we touch. Try not to be in a bad mood when you are going to do excercise or therapy with your baby, if you feel agitated, take a break, a nice shower, put on some comfortable clothes and brethe deep

I use to do yoga with my babies, ;it is so good for us, and for the baby.


talk to your baby, in a soft loving voice
sometimes babies that need stimulation get spasms, making them very cranky, please be gentle, and remember they can not verbally tell you how they feel. They can cry, make sounds or just look at you and protest when you try to give them the therapy, so go slow, be gentle and try to be in tune with your baby.

It is ok to feel frustrated at times, just allow yourself to feel this emotion, then let go. Keep a journal of what you are going through, of what your babies progress is as well ( I would keep this info in a separate journal)

Remember to find some mommy time to unwind sweetie. We have to take care of ourselves , love ourselves, to be able to love and take care of others. It is ok to take a break, just relax and unwind, ( the baby must be safe always, and never left alone)

If you have access to a hot tub, this is great for the babies muscles to relax, please be careful the water is not to hot, and remember not to add anything harsh for the babies skin in the water. Our skin is our bodies biggest organ, for it protects our internal organs, and covers our body.

Give all of your love to this bundle of joy, this wonderful teacher sent to you , we learn so much from children, they are wonderful teachers.


Never leave the baby unattended, and many times children with special needs can move more than we think they can, so do not leave them ever in a situation where they can hurt themselves of fall down


You can also play games with your baby, like peek a boo, sing silly songs and just enjoy each others company

You can also find support groups, where you can talk to other parents that are going through or have gone through similar situations with their child

I believe that we are never given more than we can handle, ever. It may seem hard, but you will see how everything will work out for you.

Best of luck and wishes for you and your baby

please let us know how your baby comes along !!!!!

Love light and peace

Answer 2

You should be reading to the child every day. Books with few words and lots of pictures. Play with blocks mostly just stacking them up so the child can knock them down but when you are stacking them up you count the blocks. Sing silly songs to the child and play little hand games with him. You know like Itsy, Bitsy Spider. Give him two or three crayons and a piece of paper and let him color. Take him outside and play chase they love to be caught and then tickled. If you are busy cooking or cleaning house have him "help" you. Mostly just interact with the child. They are like sponges and will learn from most any activity. Have fun they will only be this little and innocent for such a short time.

Answer 3

at 1 kids are exploring their world, you,other people, everything even though he can't read show him bright pictures tell him what they are get age appropriate learning toys and get down and play with him/her. at this age they are starting to learn more words. They are mobile now so you really have to have the house childproofed. get down on your hands and knees and see everything at their eye level and look for hidden dangers, There are a lot of good programs on like bear and the Big Blue House that have bright and funny characters that grab the attention of one year olds.

Answer 4

try and give them "really important jobs" to help mummy. Like when your cooking give them something to stir, they make a mess and stuff it up but say "great job thank you for helping" I used to give mine some flour and water or sugar (throw it out when they are finished) let them get involved.
