Gather family members in a circle on the floor with your child in the middle or passing between people. Each person takes a turn making eye contact, smiling, and gently engaging with your child. This creates multiple opportunities for social connection in one activity and helps your child recognize different faces.

Så här gör ni aktiviteten
Gather family members in a circle on the floor with your child in the middle or passing between people. Each person takes a turn making eye contact, smiling, and gently engaging with your child. This creates multiple opportunities for social connection in one activity and helps your child recognize different faces.
Varför det fungerar
Exposure to multiple caring adults during the first year builds social comfort and attachment security. Quality social interaction directly predicts later social connection abilities. Adults with robust social ties experience about 50% increased longevity compared to isolated individuals, and these patterns begin in early childhood (Holt-Lunstad et al., 2010).
Tips till föräldrar
Keep the group small at first, maybe two or three people. You can expand as your child becomes comfortable.
Let each person spend just 30-60 seconds engaging before passing your child to the next person. Short interactions match their attention span.
Watch your child's cues. If they seem overwhelmed, take a break or reduce the number of people.
