Developing Your Baby"s Social Skills
Having a baby is one of the most amazing things that will happen in your life.
For the first year everything is overwhelming and can feel very confusing.
Once you get into a routine with your new born baby then you can begin to relax and enjoy him.
He will change so much in the first year.
He will begin to have social skills and recognizing and developing these is rewarding.
One of the first things your new baby will learn to do is socialize, both with family members and other babies.
Although it is great that your baby is learning to socialize within its own family, it is also beneficial for them to have playmates.
If you can begin these skills at an early age then it will help for the future.
No matter how young your baby is you can begin to teach them great social skills by getting out and about at least twice a week and letting your baby interact with other people.
Babies can recognize sad and happy faces at a very young age, and will soon learn that they themselves achieve different responses by applying these.
Every time you leave the house with your baby, they will get used to the smiles and noises associated with people being happy.
Your baby will want to create that feeling over and over again and will like being around people, and will soon begin to smile and react positively every time someone speaks to them.
Although babies don't really "play" they will observe a great deal, they will watch other babies and will interact by hitting, touching and grabbing at them.
By exposing them to other babies, your baby will gain the social skills he needs in the future.
If your baby is unwell though, it is advised to keep him indoors and away from other children until he is better.
Babies can pick up illnesses very easily, and you wouldn't want to spread any illnesses among the group.
There are several ways that you can get your baby out of the house and socializing.
Join a local mother and baby group, there will be other mothers with babies of the same age as you.
Your baby will enjoy watching and interacting with the other babies, it will also give you an opportunity to interact with people of your own age.
Swimming classes for your baby is also a great way to socialize, and being in a larger group of people will help your baby to be prepared for lots of people.
Even at home you can do many things to include your baby, make sure they are at the dinner table when the rest of the family is eating their dinner.
This is a great way to spend time with your whole family, and for your baby to watch how the family interacts with them.
Try to include your baby whenever you can, without being over protective.
Leaving your baby with a babysitter or grandparent is a great way for them to develop social skills, and they will deal with separation better.
However your baby develops you will enjoy every step of the journey; enjoy the time when they are a baby as they grow up so fast.
