As your baby grows, she’ll become more interested in interacting with you, other family members, and children. Because her vision is not that of a typical child, she is going to need some help from you in learning how to play alone and with others. It’s also a good idea to think about how her behavior influences other’s reactions to her at home and in the community. We have many ideas to share with you to help your baby on the road to becoming a sociable child who enjoys others and with whom others enjoy spending time.
