What are some of the ways my baby learns?

Last Updated: January 12, 2012

Your child will learn more from you than anyone else. Your baby is constantly learning about the world around her through her senses of smell, taste, sight, hearing and touch. You can help her develop her senses by providing playthings that can be seen, heard, and touched. Playing helps your baby to strengthen and use her muscles better. Use items that you already have around the house. These can often be a child’s favorite plaything. “Toys” need not be store-bought and expensive. Playing with your baby gives her a chance to explore the world and satisfy her growing curiosity. She will enjoy your loving attention and benefit from it.
