Comment faire cette activité
When your child needs a diaper change or wants to be picked up, say what you will do in a calm voice. Count slowly to three out loud before you act. This brief narration and pause helps your child connect your words with the action that follows. Predictability builds security and patience.
Pourquoi ça marche
Predictable patterns help infants develop the cognitive framework for understanding sequences and delays. Early self-regulation emerges from consistent, responsive caregiving that includes brief, manageable waits (Liew et al., 2010). Your narration helps your child's brain begin to connect words, actions, and the passage of time.
Conseils pour les parents
Use a soothing, steady voice while counting.
Stay close and maintain eye contact so your child feels secure.
Be consistent with this pattern so your child learns to anticipate it.
