[quote=Anonymous]It’s ok! Don’t worry. Your baby just needs you. Narrate what you are doing. For example, I hold my 18 month old as I make the coffee in the morning and it sounds inane, but I explain each step, let her touch the filter, hold the little scooper, we count 5 scoops, now it’s time for water. We want cold water. Feel? Cold water. Okay, time to push the button. Do you want to push it? Let me see your little finger. Look, the light turned on. It’s blue. Blue light means the coffee is on. Let’s move away because it will get hot.

I just do that throughout the day. We try not to use any screens while she’s awake. I also try to have some time every day where we read board books together. Right now she likes those big ones with the realistic pictures. I think it’s the First 100 Words series. She points and I tell her what each thing is.

She doesn’t really play independently yet, maybe 2-3 minutes here and there, so I just sort of involve her in what I’m doing in the house or at the store or wherever. [/quote]
