Very young babies can focus 8 to 10 inches from their face. The distance between a child being cradled in a parents arms and the parents face. Talking and singing to your child when they are close will help your child recognise you voice and your face which not only develop their language and communication skills but your attachment with the child as well.

Black and white, high contrast images helps a young child develop their vision. We have created our TLC baby cards so you can share some black and white images with your child. Along with this there are some top tips on the cards to do during your daily routine with your child.
