Parents are encouraged to talk with their children about meaningful time?spending time together as a family and what that means to each member of the family.

Baby Development - Six to Nine Months
Babies this age love to look at themselves in the mirror. If you have a full-length wall or door mirror, see what happens when you place your baby in front of it. How does your baby respond when you wiggle a part of your body in the mirror? How about when you smile or laugh? Try holding up one of the baby?s toys in front of the mirror.

February Personal Parenting Newsletter

Good Times for Babies - During the latter half of their first year, babies enjoy simple games like Peek-a-boo. They are learning an important concept - object permanence. Up until now, if something left their field of vision, they thought it was gone. As they develop, they can form a mental image of an object that is out of sight - so, of course, they look for it and are very excited when it pops back into their field of vision!
There are many ways to play Peek-a-boo. Here are just a few:
Cover your face with your hands, then remove them and say ?peek-a-boo!?
Put a scarf over your head and then remove it. Better yet, let your child remove it while you say ?peek-a-boo!?
Have a favorite stuffed animal pop up and down from behind the crib or highchair.
