If you needed some elf magic? This is it!
So much to explain!
Their teacher has them mesmerized with her voice, facial expressions, fantastic visual and auditory cues, and being eye level for optimal visual tracking and head turning and eye tracking!
She has also picked the perfect age to work on these skills.
Read below at the amount of development going on!
Oh and before you do, note there are no other distractions!
No TV, no phones near by, no ELECTRONIC TOYS W FLASHING LIGHTS ETC!
VISION starts out w babies only seeing 8-12 inches blurry and black n whites then progress to a few feet around 2 months with improving clarity. By 4 months clarity is improving, they may start reaching and by 5 to 6 months, full color is coming in AND they can recognize a parent’s face from across a room! And eyes are working together. (Cranial Nerve 2! The optic nerve) Around 7-9 months lots of precise eye ball movements are happening in all directions. (Cranial Nerve 3,4&6!) This increased tracking ability of an object can lead to more head movement too! More head movements lead to reflex integration of primitive reflexes that are closely tied into neck moves. Reflex integration is really cranking up at 6 months!
What does that mean? Baby can look up ⬆️ following the bell 🔔 and not be startled by a sudden head movement.
And one of my personal favorites is the fact that the nerves that fire together WIRE together! Cranial nerve 8 is the Vestibulocochlear nerve. It helps with both hearing and the vestibular system. These babies are full on “in” to all of the above and learning to not get dizzy with head movement while sitting up.
Give them another month of this training and they will start thinking about reaching for the bells beyond their base of support and getting in all fours to get to them. But right now, she has them captivated! The lovely has it going on! Love everything about this Christmas MAGIC!
