Your baby should be confident, have self-esteem and is ready to learn. These skills begin in infancy. You can begin to develop your baby's confidence by giving her tummy time . You should start this when you bring the baby home. Tummy time: put your baby on her/his stomach for a few minutes base on her /his . This allows the baby to strengthen her arms, stomach muscles and to practice her development. As the baby gets older you should increase the time. Your baby will begin to first shuffle on her tummy.
When she shows a sign of frustration you should end the activity. Your goal is to have your baby accomplish a goal so do not let the activity become over whelming .You should also hold your baby upright allowing her to stand on her feet this will strengthen her leg muscles. These activities also helps the brain to develop. When your baby begins to crawl around you should avoid using "NO" to your baby by creating a safe space that will allow your baby to explore freely. The word "NO" inhibits your baby form exploring. Just imagine if some one keeps saying "NO" to you. Would you be confident to try new things? You do not want to do that to your baby.
