Welcome to the My First Five Years Blog. Here you will find all sorts of information, ideas and activities that will help you to support your child.
While they enjoy the predictable actions and sense of anticipation, your baby is also learning about lots of social skills, such as turn-taking, waiting and understanding social cues, language and facial expression. By experiencing these silly, playful moments with you from this very young age, they are building connections and developing expectations which will be helpful as they grow and begin to interact with others.
Your baby will learn from traditional favourites or from your very own giggle game
Your baby will enjoy any games or rhymes with a familiar and predictable sequence of actions. As they begin to anticipate what is going to happen next, you can pause and give them time to enjoy the excitement of waiting for the next step!
Peek-a-boo supports:
- The development of turn-taking
- Supports self-confidence
- Develops self-awareness
