Cognitive Child Development Three Months...

..By the third month, your child shows more interest in playthings and answers to common state of affairs of aroused actions, smiles and a variety of vocalisations such as cries, cooing sounds and chuckles.

He...

• Takes an interest in his environment.
• Laughs and vocalises with increasing tone.
• Takes an increasing interest in playthings.
• Cries loudly when showing an emotional need.

Increasing His Development

• Use a practical infant chair so that he can look closely at what you are doing during an activity.
• Arrange toys on a blanket or play mat on the floor and let him lie on his tummy and play with the toys for short periods of time.
• Connect objects above his cot which makes a noise when he touches it.
• Make it a habit to sing him nursery rhymes.
• Encourage contact with other children and adults.

Keeping Him Safe

• At all times protect him from exposure to sunlight
• Use a special sun-protection cream, a sun hat to protect his neck and face, and a pram canopy when he's out with you during the summer.
• Never leave small objects within his reach as he explores everything in his mouth.
• Always check for an appropriate safety symbol when buying toys for him.

Activity For Him

Design and make a simple game that will encourage his sensory development... for example... an activity mat, sound lotto, a 'feely' bag or a game of matching smells.
