Good afternoon everyone! its my great hope that you are all fine...well let us proceed with our discussion about the three to six months baby's psychology...!!

Still keenly interested in mum and dad, baby is also becoming both motivated and equipped to explore the external world more and more. This also means that the first forms of interactive play will typically commence. These interactions are indeed fun and enjoyable for both parent and child, however they are also incredibly important for baby’s ongoing development. Although fun and games on the surface, caretaker behaviour during these interactions is very influential in facilitating and supporting baby’s ongoing desire to master the environment.

Baby’s behaviours begin to reflect the ongoing development of his relationships, cognitive abilities, and perceptual abilities. Baby is especially growing more and more interested in exploring the external world. At about 6 months, baby’s attention will begin to shift away from an exclusive focus on attachment figure interactions. He wants to look at everything and explore everything, usually with his mouth and fingers. You will notice baby scanning his surroundings looking for new objects and listening to sounds intently. This growing interest in the outside world combined with a keen ongoing interest in caregivers is the perfect recipe for first forms of interactive play to commence. 

Okay for today let us end here and we will proceed next time...have a great time all!!
chaooo!!
