Exploring the house with toddlers

When you're a baby, even everyday items like lamps can be exciting and interesting.

When your baby takes an interest in something around the house, let them look at it and touch it (as long as it's safe!).

Tell them all about the thing that's caught their attention.

The benefits of talking about what interests your toddler

  • All around the house there are objects your toddler will find fascinating. When you pay attention to this and talk about them, they will be more engaged in what you say and listen to your words
  • The more they're engaged, the quicker they'll learn new words
  • Exploring the feel of objects gives you change to talk to them about objects' textures
  • 't attention' helps your child's social skills as they learn to share eye with you
