Parenting Tips for Your 10 Month Old Baby
Does your baby like to shop? Some children really seem to enjoy the shopping experience. Others get overly excited by all the colors, textures, smells, and noises and may "freak out" with bad behavior. If your child can handle the stimulation, shopping can be a fun outing.
Plan before you go. Plan to go at a time when your baby is not hungry or tired. You might want to bring something from home for him to play with to keep those busy hands from grabbing something unsafe at the store. Don’t let him stand in the grocery cart. Use the seat strap, or bring one to keep him seated.
You can help your baby to learn in the store by talking to him and pointing out the different items. When you choose some apples you can say, “We need four red apples. See, one, two, three, four.” When you get cereal, show him the box, perhaps shake it, and let him see what is in it when you get home.
