Learning and Play - Baby

Caring for your baby also includes playing with it and helping it learn new things about the world around them. Use the information given in this area called Learning and Play to learn how you can engage and boost your baby’s cognitive development through playing games with it as a part of responsive parenting. Babies are receptive and tend to learn a lot from their environment and through interaction with their parents as well as with their environment. They learn a great deal from active play, and all they need from your side is your time, attention, stimulation, and guidance. You can use common sense parenting techniques to incorporate active play into daily routines. Taking care of your baby’s emotional needs is also your responsibility as a parent and the time and attention from your side is a great investment in your baby’s future.
