How it works

  1. 1~30s

    Alright, let's get started! To complete this activity, purse your lips, pucker them as if you were to give a kiss. you, watch your child closely — I'd love to hear what you notice about how they responds.

    Watch for: Baby has fun when playing with adults.

  2. 2~30s

    Great, now let's try the next part. Blow up your cheeks and yawn making loud noises so your baby imitates you. Tell me what your child does — any reaction counts!

    Watch for: Baby react to different tones of voice.

  3. 3~30s

    One more thing to try. During this exercise, observe if your baby laughs, shrieks and takes the initiative to vocalize, mimic movements and facial expressions and interacts through smiles and gains. How does your child handle this? What do you see?

    Watch for: Baby laugh out loud.
