Every moment is a possible opportunity for learning. When its play time, there are endless possibilities for you to help your baby enrich his mind with toys and games that will hone a variety of skills. But even though its just down time or youre engaged in another activity, lets say, like taking a bath, it still holds vast opportunities for his mind to be stimulated.
So how do you enrich your mind during bath time?
First off, before undressing your child for the bath, introduce him first to the objects around him especially the bath things that youre going to use to bathe him such as soap, shampoo, sponge, bath tub and so on. Tell him about the uses of these things, this soap will clean your body while the shampoo will wash your hair. This is instrumental in his language development and broadening of his knowledge about the things around him.
Next, you can talk to him about the things youre doing while bathing him. Say things like Lets go wash this cute little head of yours or Im now soaping your hands, now your arms and then your shoulders! By doing this, youre acquainting your baby with his different parts of the body. For now, he may not show signs...
