Face-to-Face Follow Fun

How it works

1. 1

   First, let's get your child's attention. Slowly move your face into they line of sight, about 8 to 12 inches away. Make a soft sound or say your child's name gently. Let me know what they does.

2. 2

   Now, very slowly move your head from side to side, just a few inches in each direction. Keep your face in your child's line of sight. Tell me what you see.

3. 3

   Let's try moving up and down now. Slowly raise your head a little, then lower it, staying within your child's view. What do you notice?

4. 4

   Now, let's combine movements. Slowly move your head in a small circle, keeping it smooth and gentle. Observe your child's eyes.
