Top Play Tips
- Young babies' attention span is very short; a minute for them, is a long time!
- The best time to play is when baby is alert, calm and settled
- Follow your baby's cues - when to play and more importantly, when to stop - let your baby lead
- When playing one-to-one games - first make eye contact
- Be relaxed and in the mood to want to play yourself - if you're not enjoying it, your baby will sense this
- Playing together is like having a conversation - it's a 2-way thing!
