When we talk to parents, they tell us that nap times and night feeds are a good time to look at the skills journey.
Having a look at skills during your child’s nap means when they wake up you have some fresh play ideas ready to go.
And if it’s been one of those days where it feels like nothing has quite gone to plan, you can use mastering skills to remind yourself that you’re doing a great job!
The other tip users have shared with us is to master with your partner, or any friends or relatives who look after your child.
We all notice different things so having a chat about the skills journey is a brilliant way for everyone to see all the things your child is learning – and what’s coming next!

Our journey shows you all the little steps, so sometimes skills might sound quite similar to ones you’ve seen earlier. Reading the longer description can be helpful to see the difference.
Click any skill to see more information about it and find the linked activity ideas which will help you support your child to master that skill – so you feel confident that you know what you’re looking for when you’re playing.
We know each child develops differently, and individual children have times when their development is faster or slower, so there is no set number of skills that ‘should’ be mastered at any time.
Your child will probably master skills every week, sometimes every day. By keeping their skills up to date you'll keep getting new ideas and activities that will help you support their development.
If you have any tips for other parents, we’d love to hear from you.
