I love smiling! I might now bother you only so that you would smile at me and make me laugh. If you smile at me, it will activate my sense of self-worth and benefit my future!
I love discovering things! Play hide and seek with me or hide my favourite toy under a pillow and you’ll see how much fun I have looking for it. Be appreciative of my attempts to find the toy. It gives me a lot of confidence.
It is now I who will initiate having fun. Follow my lead and stick with me with whatever game I’m currently engrossed in.
I’m getting increasingly better at interpreting the names of different objects. Also, I’m good at guessing their purpose.
I might be afraid of strangers. It’s a temporary stage which will disappear with age. When you notice that I’m afraid, stay close to me, hug me, and comfort me.
