Weekend: an afternoon with your first friends

After a first stage in its development in which our baby He has learned to recognize himself and his environment, begin to perceive that the world to explore is immense and his curiosity pushes him to be attracted to new experiences with also new people.

Although he is still very dependent on his parents, already can start to socialize and to start the first contacts with those who are likely to become great friends in the near future, always with the parents present, of course.

I admit that in my case it is fortunate to have friends with sons and daughters of ages close to my son, but if you are an outgoing person it will not be very difficult for you to establish a relationship with other parents to organize an afternoon at home with children. Otherwise, you may have to wait for your child to start school, an ideal space to make friends with other families and carry out joint activities.

These days of extreme heat in which we are terrified of going outside, especially with a baby, can become a fun day in company from other persons.

Together it is more fun and you learn better

You just have to organize a little with the collaboration of the other parents Y arrange a space for play and exploration, without forgetting a little corner for parents who also deserve some attention. This is my suggestion:

In a room, place blankets for children and cushions for parents. Ask them to bring one or two toys from home, so they can exchange them for a few hours with the other children. The most requested toys (We are talking about children more than 6 months) are usually those of nestable forms such as children's blocks, which in addition to movement include melodies or funny sounds like the car puppy learning, musical toys according to their age as the piano puppy learning, books that hide wonderful stories, some narrated as in the book of friends of the zoo ... well, the truth is that children are quite receptive in this aspect and it is rare that they do not like any toy.

Definitely, a representation of all kinds of toys according to their age, not only have fun, but stimulate the senses, encourage them to move, teach them the cause-effect relationship ... and with those who learn to share and observe the different ways of playing other children.

In the kitchen, some snacks for parents to regain strength in turns and of course, provisions for everything children may need for snacks, without forgetting containers, cutlery and other essential utensils.

The hardest part: separating children from other people's toys and returning home with their own. But always we can agree on a temporary exchange and rotate them every so often; After all, that's what good friends do.
