Babies Begin Learning As Soon As They Are Born
You help your baby's brain develop when you give him or her lots of attention. Hold your baby, rock him or her gently in your arms, cuddle, and play together. Look into his or her eyes and talk softly or sing. Pick your baby up when he or she cries. This will not spoil your baby. It teaches your baby to trust that you will car for him or her.
PHYSICAL HEALTH
I can lift my head.
I need some awake time on my tummy playing with you on the floor.
SOCIAL & EMOTIONAL
I need and trust you.
Feed me and respond when I cry so I learn I can count on you.
HOW I LEARN
I look at faces and smile
Look in my eyes while you change me or feed me. Smile at me.
THINGS I KNOW
I learn through my senses.
Play quiet music while you hold me close.
LANGUAGE
I make noises and listen.
Talk to me and respond to my sounds. I'm learning from what you say!
