Parent-Baby Communication Cues
| |
|
 Preverbal babies communicate by looking, touching, smiling and babbling. Social interactions between a parent and baby has been described as 'turn-taking', a 'bonding dance', a 'two-way street' and 'serve and return'.
The timing of these back and forth sequences depend on how parents interact with their baby. A few questions to consider:
- Is your baby attentive to your facial expressions?
- Is your baby attentive when you are singing a song?
- Are you observing your baby's subtle cues?
- Do you pause and wait for your baby's response?
How will focusing on these nonverbal cues change how you interact with your baby? How would this approach affect your baby's Self Esteem?
Tell us what you think. We have an international audience and look forward to hearing from parents world-wide. |
| Independent Sitting - Without Props | |
|
 At the beginning of the lively locomotion stage your 7 month-old baby's desire is to move forward and up! I am often asked if babies can come up to the sitting position by themselves. How do babies do this?
You may have noticed your 6 month-old baby when playing on his tummy on the floor, pushing with both hands together and to his surprise - his body slides backward. Or your 7 month-old may be attracted by the family pet and he begins belly crawling forward. Maybe your baby is up on hands-and-knees - revving himself up by rapid repetitive rocking. These are the precursors to come to independent sitting and creeping in a cross-lateral pattern on hands-and-knees.
From sitting independently, how do babies reverse the sequence back to hands-and-knees?
