Watch a brain being built! Impossible not to share their joy and excitement in this game of Serve and Return
Your baby doesn’t need screens. 📺 Your baby doesn’t need expensive “educational” toys. Your baby needs you. Your time. Your love. Your undivided attention. Watch this little one’s eyes as he interacts with his dad. They never once leave the most beautiful sight he knows: his parent’s smiling face. This is how the brain is wired. This is how attachment is formed. This is how children learn to speak. No phones. No distractions. Just your baby and you. ❤️ This beautiful video via shia_moonj on IG.
