Infants reach out
to explore world |

FROM BIRTH on, children begin to use their

five senses to explore

their surroundings and

begin to interact with their expanding world.

Reaching out to discover
their place in this new en-
vironment (compared to the
relative calm of the womb)
feads to the first tiny at-
tempts at play.

One of the most powerful
is their development of con-
trol or power over the world
around them. This includes
their control.over the people
in that environment (a power
which continues, much to
our perplexity, throughout
childhood)...

The never-ending testing
process involves all the five
senses:, touch, taste, sight,
smell and hearing.

tricate tasks of eating, crawl-
ing, walking and playing.
Some of the simplest ver-
sions of early play are
achieved without actual ob-
jects. Singing simple rhymes
while splashing together in
the bath is one of the special
and most simple moments
shared. These times together
also further cement the bon-
ding, the life-long relation-
ship and familiar security.
Good rattles are those
which allow a baby to touch
different textures, hear in-
teresting sounds, and see
appealing visual shapes and
colors.

consist of more subtle
shades, including natural

- wood and fabric, since the

world is likewise comprised
of many textures and shades.
Hopefully, not all such
sounds are loud and jangl-
ing. A baby’s ears are just
becoming used to all the
sounds in the world — and
there’s plenty enough loud
ones without us always ad-
ding more.

Manipulative dexterity has
its first beginnings in feeling
the textures of clothes on
those of us who hold a baby.
It develops through rattles
and crib gyms (shapes, bells,
and rings suspended across a
crib or beside a car-seat).

From six months on, such
opportunities multiply,
through the exploration of
specific toys such as shape-
sorting boxes and the han-
dling of the increasing varie-
ty of everyday objects that
become more available as a
baby becomes quickly more
mobile.

With developing mobility,
the same coordinations used
in walking can be re-inforced
through playthings such as
baby walkers (low carts with
high, vertical handles) and
toddler trikes . (without
pedals).

A child is reaching out to
