Waarom het werkt
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.
Tips voor ouders
