• Bonding: Bonding, or attachment, is one of the most important factors in a baby’s development. Children that feel secure in their physical and emotional needs are free to develop the rest of their brain. This can be achieved through infant massage, contact with the baby (such as wearing a baby sling when out), responding quickly to the child’s cries, establishing routines for feeding, sleeping, bathing, etc., slowing down the activity (less rushing), and using childcare that has a low child to caregiver ratio.
• Communication: Babies begin picking up on language skills before they are even born. So talk to your baby throughout the day, and describe the things that are going on. Studies have shown that households with more words spoken in them have children with higher IQs. And again, read!
