Ask parents to share photos of the family or provide board books for the infant to examine.

Present the book or the pictures, one at a time, to the child.

Children are now becoming interested in the details in the pictures and point out familiar people, clothing, and other items they know. They examine the pictures for over 2 minutes.

Family pictures are especially interesting to young children. Parents often forget to share these with the infant. Encourage them to take a look at family pictures (whether on a phone, computer, or photograph) with the child. Books should be shared every day, as often as possible, with parents pointing out interesting aspects in the pictures on the pages.
