Your baby’s Self-Directed Play

When your baby is playing with a toy , pause and notice what your baby is doing.  Babies don’t need to be overly stimulated or constantly entertained.  Discovery play, problem-solving and arriving at solutions in age-appropriate activities is a thrilling experience for babies. With concentrated attention, these play sessions offer your baby an opportunity to experiment and practice movement skills to successfully complete a task.   When babies carry out their intentions from motivation to mastery, they develop self-confidence at each stage of development.
