Your Babys Interaction With Others

Writen by Lisa Lee

The first year of your baby's life will be filled with different experiences, joys and challenges – one thing that she will ultimately have (and want) to do is interact with other humans.

The process of developing social skills starts here – first within your own family and friends, but ultimately you should try and let your baby be around others outside of your own family.

This is important for her to be able to learn communication skills and be able to interact with others right from the very start.

The reason that it is good to expose your baby to different playmates and people is that these are the foundations to providing her with good social skills as she develops into childhood, and eventually adulthood. Try and get out with your baby a few times every week, preferably so that she is interacting with other babies

At such a young age, babies do not play in the traditional sense, but by seeing other babies, parents, people and places your baby is beginning to construct an idea of what the world is like.

It can also be fascinating for babies to see other babies – they may well interact by touching, hitting or grabbing each other in a gentle way. Just remember that if your baby is not well, do not expose her to other babies – babies are very open to catching colds etc so bare this in mind.

Having said this, get out and about with your baby in several different settings. Take her to the supermarket, to parent-baby exercise sessions, to play-parks and so on. The more places you go the better for your child.

You can even take your baby to a playgroup or to the swimming pool.

Ultimately, getting out and about with your baby is good for her for so many reasons – it also breaks up the usual routine.
