Same with playing with my 5 months old son. Playing forces him to track objects, grasp, pull/push, try to roll over to get something, etc.

- kqr 6y agoI'm glad I took the time before my baby was born to read a bit about human development and the purpose of laughter and so on. It made me realise how similar a human infant is to a baby chimpanzee. And sure enough, my baby loves being treated like one, with the fake climbing and play wrestling and whatnot.
- vram22 6y agoWhat is fake climbing?
- kqr 6y agoHe really wants to climb things and me, and probably has the strength for it, but lacks the coordination to successfully apply his strength toward that goal. But if I help out by supporting him (physically) he gets to experiment with various ways to grab hold of things and pretend that's the reason he's gaining altitude too.
- vram22 6y agoGot it, interesting :)
