There is also very inspiring reading and research, about how your presence on the floor, as a parent, matters. Research shows that your presence as an adult matters. The research studies show that 8-month-old babies make more effort to reach a toy when an adult is nearby. And if you are not around, they also become more passive. A pretty good motivation to make some time for play together in everyday life if you ask us.
