1 Answer

POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy10 months ago

A. Babies typically start clapping between 9 to 12 months of age. To encourage your baby to clap, you can try the following methods: 1. Demonstration: Clap your hands while saying "clap" or "yay!" This visual and auditory cue can motivate your baby to mimic you. 2. Incorporate Songs and Rhymes: Use songs with clapping actions, like "If You're Happy and You Know It." This makes clapping fun and interactive. 3. Play Games: Engage in games that involve clapping, such as "pat-a-cake." Make it a playful activity that encourages participation. 4. Positive Reinforcement: Celebrate your baby's attempts to clap by clapping along and expressing enthusiasm. This positive reinforcement encourages them to keep trying. 5. Use Toys: Use toys that make noise when clapped or hit together to capture their attention and encourage clapping. By incorporating these activities into your daily routine, you'll help your baby develop their motor skills and enjoy the process of learning to clap.
