Empathy- 14mos
Your baby is now 14 months you should provide a mirror that will allow your baby to see emotions on the face. You should being discussing emotions with your baby. At this stage your baby likes, to bite and when she bites you, you need to explain to her that biting hurts and it will make you sad. Pretend to cry and observe your baby's reaction.
Last week my grandson bit his mother and she pretend that she was crying and he began to cry.I noticed that his mom has not complained that he has bitten her since. He has learned that biting hurt and he felt her pain.(empathy)
Older children that constantly bite their peers did not learn empathy during their infant toddler years. This is a part of social emotional development.It you have an only child it is good to get the child a pet.
