Entice your child to roll from stomach to back, using toys and physical prompts as needed.
Play with his toes, patting and rubbing them. Then, bring them to his mouth while he is lying on his back.
Touch your child’s hands with a dangling object: then move it away, teasing him to reach for it.
Present your child’s with one block, then a second block, encouraging him to pass the blocks from one hand to the other.
Hold his favorite toy in various positions in front of him. Encourage him to reach for it.
Drop a toy out of sight and encourage her to look for it.
Partially cover a toy with your child’s blanket and encourage him to find it.
Use pleasurable voices or music to calm him when he is upset or to draw his attention.
Place the child in front of a mirror and draw his attention to it, encourage him to look at the image.
Bounce your child on your lap or in your arms and practice sounds (pa-pa-pa, ba-ba, ma-ma).
Encourage vowel sound production (o-o-o. ah-ah. E-e).
Begin to promote gestural language, “arms up,” “so big.”
Talk constantly to your child as you move about the house. Call to him to look at you and what you are doing.
Be yourself. A lifetime of fun and teamwork lies ahead.
