A happy person, including a baby, is someone who can be himself. One that does not have to feel bored, or, on the other hand, have to accomplish things that are too difficult or demanding. People work well and feel good when they are addressed on their own level. Babies too. As a parent you can do your baby no bigger pleasure than being aware of this. Take time to get to know your baby and respond by playing with him at his level.

The older your baby gets, the more you will experience that sometimes he finds things boring and yearns for a new challenge, or just the opposite. In that case you notice that your baby gets frustrated because he must do things he simply does not understand or is not capable of doing. Every parent will be in one of these situations from time to time. That's because as a parent you are constantly busy discovering what your baby’s interests are, what he is capable of, what he finds challenging, what he finds too challenging, and what he finds too easy or boring.
