Allow your baby to develop at their own pace from "summary" of Your Self-Confident Baby by Magda Gerber,Allison Johnson
When we talk about letting your baby develop at their own pace, we are talking about respecting their unique rhythm and timing. Babies, like adults, have their own individual ways of learning and growing. It's important to recognize and honor these differences rather than trying to push your baby to reach certain milestones according to a predetermined schedule. By allowing your baby to develop at their own pace, you are giving them the space and freedom to explore the world in a way that feels comfortable and natural to them. This can help build their confidence and self-esteem as they learn to trust their own abilities and instincts. It's also important to remember that babies are constantly learning and absorbing information from their environment. By allowing them to progress at their own pace, you are giving them the opportunity to fully engage with their surroundings and make sense of the world around them in a way that is meaningful and relevant to them. When we try to rush or push our babies to reach certain developmental milestones before they are ready, we are not only disregarding their individual needs and capabilities, but we are also sending them the message that their own pace is not good enough. This can lead to feelings of anxiety, frustration, and insecurity in the long run.- It can be tempting to compare our baby's development to that of other children their age or to follow strict guidelines on what they should be doing at each stage. However, it's important to remember that every baby is unique and will progress at their own pace. Trusting in your baby's innate abilities and allowing them to explore and learn in their own time can ultimately lead to a happier, more self-confident child.
