As your child gets older they will express their emotions through play, which is an ideal time for you to engage and see what your little one is feeling and processing in their developing mind. Playing with your child at their level builds your bond and their confidence.
Am I doing this right? As mothers we often wonder am I doing this right? Exhaustion leads to self-doubt and for some, bonding feels uncomfortable and scary. Know that your presence and your touch triggers your little one’ s memories. Bonding through play can take the pressure off and even singing a silly song is a great way to bond through play, as will using toys that you know your baby will react to.
Touch, smell, hearing and vision all cement the bond between mother and child.
