Q

Seeing, Hearing, Thinking, Learning Infants - Tips for parents

A
  1. Provide infants with a rich perceptual and social world right from the beginning. Even newborn infants are seeing, hearing, and thinking creatures who can bene t from interaction with people and the environment.
  2. Avoid going overboard with efforts at early stimulation. There is no evidence that “super enrichment” leads to “super development,” and the anxiety associated with that endeavor could lead to unwanted stress for the parent and the child.
  3. Provide physical action opportunities for your children, such as tummy time and “playing catch” with babies as young as 4 months of age. Constructing “sticky mittens” and attaching hook-and-loop tape to toys can facilitate a reaching game in children as young as 2 months of age. The development of physical action abilities is strongly connected with the development of mental abilities in children.
  4. It is possible to successfully potty train many infants as early as 7 months of age. Most parents who do so report enjoying connecting with their infants via “elimination communication.”
