Parents need to closely supervise their actions. Babies begin to develop a sense of humor. Playtime with parents is important. Allow babies to follow you as you go through your daily routine so they can explore. Allow babies to eat canned vegetables and dry cereal from a high chair to help them learn about coordination.
Babies are also ready to learn how to point to their nose, eyes, ears and mouth.
Expose your baby to books with bright pictures to capture their attention, especially if it s an activity shared with a parent. Place the baby s high chair or playpen within sight of a mirror. They like to watch themselves. Parents need to remind babies at this stage again and again. Babies are still too young to have developed a conscience.
