Tips For Thriving Kids
Encourage your baby to explore! Babies learn by using their senses. It is through interactions and experiences with loved and trusted adults that babies begin to make sense of the world.
What you can do:
- Offer interesting objects to explore-fabrics of various textures, a ball of sticky masking tape, a wooden spoon and a metal one to touch and compare.
- Respond to her efforts to communicate. Use words to describe what she is experiencing: I see you looking at that ball on the shelf. Let me get that for you.
- Delight in their discoveries. You found your hands! Look what they can do. You can use them to reach that red ball.
- Provide the help your child needs to solve problems, such as showing your baby how to get the lid off the container so she can reach the blocks inside. But before you jump in, give her a chance to do it herself first.
