Playing With Babies
Babies learn through play and take information in
through the use of touch, taste, sight, hearing and smell. In the
early months and beyond, these senses provide the information that
your baby will use to feel reassured and comforted and be
stimulated to grow.
As a Dad, playing with your baby is vital, and helps your baby develop physically, intellectually and emotionally.
Play helps babies grow
- “Tummy time” - placing babies flat on their stomach to play, is beneficial for muscular and brain development. They may need extra entertainment during this time.
- Variations in types of play and toys, helps build skills in different areas.
- Rattles build physical and hand-eye coordination.
- Using words, rhymes and stories builds the brains’ storage of language and memory.
- Peek-a-boo with dad can build communication and expression of emotions.
