As babies learn more and more about their surroundings, they naturally begin to develop their abilities. How should a parent or childcare provider facilitate that process? This informative video discusses approaches to nurturing babies: how to calm them, so they are receptive to new experiences; how to interact with them through play; and how to create a danger-free environment for them to explore. Correlates to all applicable National and State Educational Standards including the NCLB Act.
