2.043 JOINT ATTENTION: Observe how your child shows interest, disinterest or discomfort

We build joint attention by using objects the child finds interesting. You need to know how your child shows this interest.

Start building joint attention by engaging with objects your child finds interesting. You are modeling what joint attention is like by showing interest in their interests.

You can model words that are used during joint attention like “look!” or “oooohhh.”

Today’s activity: Notice where your child is interested. Show that you are interested and engaged with the same object, using your voice, facial expression and gestures.
