She knows her caregiver is there for her to feed her, protect her and comfort her. You can make a child's world more predictable by keeping her on a daily schedule. For example, she wakes, eats meals and bathes roughly at the same time every day. Predictability will help eliminate the element of surprise. In an unpredictable world with no routine, children may be anxious.
Anxiety kills curiosity.
A child that feels safe and is in familiar space will be curious and will seek novelty. A child that is anxious or in an unfamiliar setting will be unwilling to try new things. A child's environment should also be rich in sights, sounds, smells, tastes and touch. For a child, a sensory-rich experience could be as simple as the smell of blueberry muffins baking in the kitchen or the touch of a velvet pillow to the face. It is important for caregivers to recognize the importance of sensory experiences to a child.
