VILLAGE: Zoom Buggy Week 5

FOUNDATIONS OF LEARNING

Steady Beat: Your baby loves listening to the steady beat when played, sung, or chanted. The draw of the steady beat may be its similarity to the heartbeat that she experienced up close for 9 months!

Freedom of Choice: Adult and baby will flourish in an environment where choices are given, movement is incorporated within the activity, and adult learns to adjust the stimulation to match baby’s temperament.

Vestibular System Stimulation: It is important to stimulate the vestibular system, the part of the brain that handles balance and the sense of gravity. Stimulation can occur through swinging, twisting, swaying, rocking, etc..

Experience: Your baby processes information from his personal experiences. He naturally responds to the stimuli in his environment, learns from past experiences, and adapts appropriately. Consistency of experience allows your baby to develop an increased comfort level within a group setting.
