*Talk, read and sing to your baby. Language increases brain activity and learning.
*Label objects and actions for your baby (ball, walking, washing,etc.).
*Keep the environment calm. Protect your baby from emotional stress. It's hard for him to concentrate if there's loud music and constant television noise.
*Help your baby safely explore using all five senses. Help him use taste, touch, smell, hearing and seeing. Talk to your baby and name the taste and textures (sour,sweet,ect.).
*Avoid interrupting when your baby is concentrating. Your baby needs playtime to explore and imitate. This happens through play. Stand back and watch. Try to understand what your baby is working on.
