Creating Safe and Nurturing Play Spaces for Babies and Toddlers
Creating a safe and nurturing play space for babies and toddlers is essential for their development. Parents should start by setting up a cozy bassinet or crib where the baby can play and explore safely. As the baby grows and becomes more interested in the world, they can move to the floor where a designated play space is created. This space should provide ample room for the baby to move and explore, inspiring their imagination and discovery. Setting boundaries, such as gating off the kitchen, can also help create a safe and focused environment for independent play. By encouraging independent play in a secure space, babies learn to trust themselves, develop an inner life, and become more self-reliant.
