Predictable play patterns

0–6 个月Family Connection所需材料：Small blanket or your hands for peek-a-boo

During play time, create simple, repeatable games that your child can anticipate. Try peek-a-boo with the same covering and reveal pattern, or gentle bouncing with a consistent rhythm and stopping point. The predictability helps your child learn to trust patterns and anticipate what's coming.

如何进行这项活动

为什么有效

Repetition and routine help build neural pathways and create a sense of security. Parent-child relationships built on mutual respect and trust show greater stability across developmental transitions (Steinberg, 2001). When play follows predictable patterns, your child learns to trust that they can anticipate what happens next. This predictability demonstrates respect for your child's developing ability to understand cause and effect, building both cognitive skills and relational trust.

家长小贴士

Choose one or two simple games and play them the same way each time. Watch for your child's smile or attention to show they're anticipating the next step. Keep play sessions short, around two to three minutes, matching your child's attention span.
