Nurturing Infant Joy, Connection and Curiosity in the Earliest Years - Part 2 - Curiosity

My workshop on laughing babies at the Early-Years.org 60th Anniversary conference was wonderful fun. After we’d explored "connection", we turned to another foundational theme in early development: "curiosity". If connection is the spark that draws babies into shared experience, curiosity is what keeps them coming back. It’s what drives them to test, to poke, to pull things apart, and to laugh, again and again, at the delightful surprises the world throws their way.
