Encourage grandparents and other caregivers to participate in activities with your baby.

WHY IT MATTERS

Provide activities that enhance and encourage maturation of finger dexterity, wrist stability, pincer grasp, palmer grasp and hand arches.

Using a simple object provides infants with an opportunity to focus on the object, make eye contact with the adult, and gesture or speak to the adult to ask for assistance while working with the object.

Children’s course of development is significantly facilitated by appropriate, affective relationships with consistent caregivers as they relate to children through play.
