Your child doubles, then triples in size. Smiling, rolling, sitting and walking appear, fueled by your child's intense instinct for growth. Like the silent, hidden period before birth, however, infancy and early childhood development are strongly influenced by the environment at every stage. I want to focus, however, on discovering what activities and objects will be most helpful to your particular children at their particular stages of development. Notice what makes your child smile or laugh.
Young children tend to enjoy the moments that support their drive to grow and develop.
When children look into your eyes and smile, they are in a period of learning about social interactions. Time with your face close at hand is one of the best gifts you can give your children. Notice your children's spontaneous play. Children delight in activities that are in the zone of their current development. If the game is too difficult, children become frustrated and lose interest.
