BabyCues - A Child's First Language
Learning to read a child's cues can help caregivers respond more sensitively by answering questions such as:
- How can I tell my baby is ready to play and interact?
- How do I know my child needs a break from an activity?
- What combination of cues might tell me my baby is hungry?
- How can I tell my infant is full?
Since Subtle Cues normally precede Potent Cues, parents and caregivers who can identify and respond to these subtle cues have the opportunity to modify the situation to fit the child's current needs and feelings. For example, by learning to identify a child's Subtle Disengagement Cues, caregivers can alter their behavior or situation so that the child's behavior doesn't escalate into more potent disengaging behavior such as whining, crying or pushing away. Likewise, by responding to their child's Engaging Cues, parents can recognize the ideal times for playing with and teaching their child new tasks.
Viewing the BabyCues Video and practicing with the BabyCues Cards can help parents gain confidence, improve their caregiving skills and ultimately enhance the relationship with the baby or young child in their life.
