Why You Should Watch

While younger babies imitate by reflex, towards that magic first birthday they begin to consciously imitate things you do. Not only is this entertaining for you, but your child also has a giggle with this new development. The best way to understand this process and why it’s important is to get a baby’s eye view of imitation in action. You’ll also see how babies learn through trial and error and how practice really does make perfect (with a little help from you of course) and can lead to better problem-solving skills in later life.
 
What you’ll see from a baby’s eye view:
  • Imitation and what it means for your baby
  • How babies learn through trial and error
  • How babies begin solving problems
What you’ll discover:
  • How to help develop your child’s problem-solving skills
  • Toys that help with trial and error learning
  • Parenting tips for giving your child fun, rewarding challenges
By knowing what “problems” to give your child to solve through trial and error, you can help them make the jump to the next stage of their intellectual development. The parenting tips in this video show you how.
