Keep in mind that this is how young children learn and it is a part of normal growth and development. Things to Avoid Rushing through caregiving tasks such as diapering, feeding and napping as if they are unpleasant burdens. Propping up a bottle for a baby to feed himself. Babies need to be held and responded to during feeding. Strapping a baby in a seat, rocker, etc. for extended periods of time.
Babies learn from exploring the world and handling objects.
Make sure the environment is safe for your baby to explore, with dangerous items out of reach, electrical outlets covered, and so on. Discussion Questions Read through these questions before watching the program. Think about them as you see the teachers in action and try to follow up on the suggestions provided. Make a list of characteristics that best describe your baby. Periodically look over your list to see which traits have remained strong and which traits have changed, if any.
