Baby On the Go

When you’re getting ready to go out, talk about what you’re doing and how your child might be feeling. Maybe you could say, “We’re getting ready to go to the store. You’re wriggling and have a smile on your face. You seem excited. Let’s go and see what we find there.” How do they respond? Follow their lead!
