The passive little bundle that you now hold in your arms, is actually hard at work!
From the day your baby is born he is on a mission, to take in and collect as much information and experiences as possible to start building the foundations of his future intelligence, and emotional self.
Here are some simple baby games and activities that your baby will enjoy, and benefit from.
Dancing Around The Room.
Your baby will experience rhythm, which is the foundation for his later talking, walking, running, skipping and dancing.
It has been suggested that classical music stimulates both sides of the brain (which is a good thing). So put some Mozart on and dance! (any happy tunes will do)
Hold him close, with one hand supporting his head and the other hand supporting her back. Rock and sway back and forth to the beat of the music.
Reading To Your Baby.
Reading to your baby, will help him to develop early social and communication skills.
And it doesn’t have to be just baby stories, when reading your own books out loud to your child, he will take in the rhythm and calm tones of your voice.
Reading poetry has also been suggested to stimulate both sides of the baby’s brain, which is great for enhancing your baby’s learning skills for the future.
