Tips For Learning And Playing

Some parents without ever reading a book about or taking a course in infant stimulation, seem to have an easier time than others initiating learning-playing activities with their babies. Some babies because they are unusually responsive, are easier to engage in such activities. In this guide, I am going to tell you the areas, to nourish and encourage your child.

The sense of taste – Right now you don’t have to go out of your way to stimulate this sense. Your baby’s taste buds are titillated at every meal on breast or bottle. But as baby gets older, “tasting” will become a way of exploring, and everything within reach will end up being mouthed.

The sense of smell – In most environments, the keen of smelling apparatus of infants gets plenty of exercise. There’s breast milk, mom’s perfume, rover scampering nearby, the roasting chicken. Unless your baby shows signs of being overly sensitive to odours, think of various scents as additional opportunities for your baby to learn about environment.

The sense of sight – Though we once believed that babies were sightless at birth, we now know that they can not only see, but begin learning from what they see. Through their sense of sight, they learn very quickly to differentiate between objects and human beings, to interpret body language and other non-verbal cues.

The sense of hearing – It’s through hearing that infants learn about language, about rhythm, about danger, about emotions and feelings and about so much else that goes around them.

The sense of touch – Touch is actually one of baby’s most valuable tools for exploring and learning about the world. It’s through touch that a baby learns the softness of mommy, the relative hardness of daddy, that rubbing a teddy bear feels wonderful, and most important of all, that those who take care of him are loving, a message you send every time you bath, diaper, feed or rock your baby.

Social development – Your baby becomes a social being through watching you, through interacting with you and the rest of the family, and later with others. This is not the time of teaching your baby how to throw a successful party or make interesting small talk over the onion dip, but it is the time to begin teaching by example how people should behave toward one another.
