Curiosity

Little ones, with their heightened senses, see everything. They are constantly picking at little pieces of lint or tape that adults don’t even notice. Use this to your advantage by providing activities that appeal to their senses and their desire to pick and poke.

A.3.a. Sits and uses hands A.3.b. Uses thumb and index finger to pick up, squeeze, or pokePlace several strips of masking tape on a table top, a tray, or the floor. Encourage little ones to remove the tape. As they work, they will be developing fine motor skills in their hands and fingers. Safety Note: Supervise closely to ensure that pieces of tape don’t end up in a baby’s mouth. Discard all tape when the fun is over.

Curiosity, Attention

For normal growth and development, babies need to learn right from birth that they can cause

good things to happen on a predictable basis. This is the groundwork for understanding cause-and-

effect which is the foundation of cognitive development.

D.2.a. Experiments with different uses for objects

D.4.a. Coos, giggles, laughs when caregiver plays

games with them

Sit on the floor with a baby and experiment with

various cause-and-effect toys, such as rattles, music

boxes, balls, and squeeze toys. Demonstrate cause-

and-effect reactions, such as when you shake the rattle

(cause) it makes a noise (effect). Coo back when the

baby coos. Smile back when the baby smiles.

Communication, Curiosity

When babies make verbal sounds or sounds with toys, they love to hear the sounds repeated back. This repetition validates the sounds they make. All sounds are part of language and the more sounds babies make, the greater their auditory discrimination.

D.1.a. Reaches out to touch objects C.2.b. Takes turns with caregiver who is talking to themLay several squeak toys and rattles around a baby. As he squeaks the toys, describe the sounds the toys make. The baby will delight as you copy the squeaky sounds.

Language Development

Communication

Using words, tone of voice, and gestures to let little ones know how much they are loved enhances

the bonding experience. It also helps babies feel safe. When little ones feel safe, they become eager

learners.

B.1.c. Engages in positive relationships and interactions

with adults

B.3.a. Allows a trusted adult to help calm them with words

and touch

Throughout the day, tell babies how much you love them. Tell

them about the things that make them special and uniquely

different. Even if they don’t understand your words, they will

understand your affection. Hold a baby’s hand while you talk.

Give a baby a hug. Blow her a kiss.

Cuando les hable, sus ojos deben estar a la

altura de los ojos de los niños.

Hable clara y lentamente.

Si los niños señalan con el dedo o usan una

sola palabra, modele cómo decir una oración

completa.Si los niños cometen un error gramatical,

repita sus palabras correctamente.

Use un vocabulario diverso. Los niños

absorben las palabras nuevas como esponjas.
