I will say, 'Oh Tony, you're rolling the ball. He looks from me to the ball and back to me. I nod and he goes after the ball. When the adults are occupied and I hear a child crying, I speak to that child, saying, 'I hear you're crying and you want your bottle. Alert to babies' cues, adults hold infants or move them to a new place or position, giving them variety in what they are able to look at and do.
Caregivers can see and hear infants at all times.
I don't carry them a lot. I hold them on my lap when I'm feeding. I give cuddles during the day, but I encourage time on the floor so they get those physical skills they need. Caregivers pay close attention and talk to children during routines such as feeding and changing diapers or clothes. I'm taking off this wet, yucky diaper.
