Look at a board book of babies’ faces with your child such as Baby Faces by DK
Publishing or Peek a Boo or Smile! by Roberta Grobel Intrater. Name and describe
the feelings shown by the babies in the book.
When another child has come over to “play” with your child, let them sit in front
of a large wall mirror. The infants will enjoy playing in front of the mirror where
they can see themselves and each other.
Do not expect infants to share. When your child wants the same toy as another
child, offer one of them a similar toy instead.
Infants play by themselves or next to one another rather than playing “together.”
Talk about what each is doing so they will become aware of each other.
When children come to visit in your home, greet them by name when they arrive
and say goodbye when they leave. Encourage your child to wave “hi” and “bye” to
her friends.
