We pay attention someone else and their interests when we are comfortable with that person and enjoy spending time with them.

Joint attention requires your child to notice your face and or body language that indicates where your interest lies, then they follow your line of sight or action to see what you are noticing.

We want your child to use joint attention without prompting (without needing to be told “look”). That means you need to build your child’s interest in you as a source of pleasant feelings and interesting experiences.

Today’s activity: Observe how your child responds to various soothing experiences like feeding, rocking, hugging, swaddling, laying down, music, sucking, soft texture, carrying. Pair your voice with soothing activities.
