Element Two: Develop and maintain a nurturing relationship
with babies/infants• When and how we respond to an infant’s first cries, babbles and
cooing will have an affect on the child’s overall language development (Trust vs. Mistrust. Erickson)
• Responding to these first sounds will encourage further responses from them – beginnings of two way conversation
• It is the same for non-verbal communication, such as facial expressions (smiles, raised eyebrows) and gestures (touching or stroking the child). The infant responds to these by mirroring your actions and making cooing noises.
