It is important to pay attention to everything that concerns your baby. In the first year you are getting to know your baby and he is getting to know you. His personality is becoming clearer and this is without a doubt something you are paying attention to. One important aspect of this personality are your baby's interests. They also determine how he develops, how he deals with mental leaps, how he masters skills and what he demands from life.

In short: the interests of your baby are certainly among the most important things to attend to, since his interests determine a large part of his development. Always keep in mind that your baby has his own interests and that these are not necessarily the same as yours. Let him always indicate his interests and do not urge your own interests onto him. That seems obvious, but sometimes this is one of the hardest things to do in bringing up your child.
