I listen when you sing songs and rhymes as you tickle my tummy or play with my fingers and toes:

I stop what I am doing and listen to a new voice or sound when I hear it:

When you say my name I stop what I am doing and look at you:

I understand what you mean when you use words and actions together. For example, as you wave and say “bye bye” or use actions as you sing rhymes like “Wind the bobbin up":

I can let you know what I want or how I am feeling by making different noises such as crying, gurgling, babbling and squealing:

Babies need to hear words and learn to use these:

Babies need to explore what happens when they use their hands and feet.:
