Parenting Tips for Your 8 Month Old Baby
When you say, “Look at the kitty,” he listens, and then he looks around until he finds it. Your baby is beginning to grasp whole ideas and is linking his eyesight and hearing together.
Is your child crawling? If not, he probably will soon. Your baby must learn to trust himself and his body before he takes the risks to learn to crawl or stand. Some babies never crawl. They scoot on their bottoms or roll. Then they walk when they’re ready.
You may have noticed that your baby goes through periods when he learns very quickly. At other times, there seems to be no progress at all. The slow periods are practice times. Your baby is taking time out from new development. He is practicing and perfecting his skills. When your baby accomplishes something and feels secure, he will try something new and challenging.
