Showing Emotions

Materials You Need: None

What You Can Do Together: Before starting the activity, make sure you prepare the place to use with your little one. You can place the baby in a comfortable space, in a chair or sitting on your lap in front of you. You can also do it while changing her/his diaper or while bathing him/her.

Start the activity playing with your baby-making expressions of joy, serenity, pride, fun, amazement, love, opening his/her eyes, mouth, raising his/her eyebrows, giving him/her kisses, caressing him/her, hugging him/her, etc. and including sounds so that your little one can identify them and show affection. Make the expressions little by little and wait for your little to react to each one of them.

What Your Child is Learning:  With this activity, you will be teaching your little one to recognize the emotions in others and respond to them.
