How to support infant’s social and emotional development?
As parents,
we want the best for our infants. Always take a positive approach to your
child’s learning process.
4 fun ideas for you to have foster bond with your infant
Play
hide and seek with your infant and see if he can find the objects you hide. You
can hide something under a cloth, and say: “Where did it go?”, “Can you find
it?”. You should see an increase in your child’s curiosity and willingness to
find out what happened to the object.
Tell
your infant the names of things and people. She should show interest and soon
will try to make relationships between words and objects or people.
Show
your child how to say things with hands, like “hi”. Soon your child should try
to imitate you and wave “hi” on his own, making a relationship between a
movement and a vocal expression.
Point
to the different parts of a doll. After showing one part on the doll, touch the
same part on yourself and on your baby. Take your baby’s hand and have him touch
the eyes, nose and mouth on the doll, you and himself. Your infant will be able
to memorize and identify these different words and relate them to his body
parts.
