3.089 SOCIAL INTERACTION: Affect and Engagement: Anticipate light tickles or other fun

Children’s definition of “fun” can vary. Be alert to how your child responds to different types of touch, sounds, sights, smells.

Use your child’s signals of enjoyment to build your social games that involve anticipation of something fun that comes next.

Today’s activity: Use an object or action in a social game. Start the presentation slowly so your child has time to anticipate the approaching pleasure.
