Your 6 month old AND your 5 year old

Your not-so-little one is now five! At this age, your child may be separating from you comfortably, maybe even eagerly, especially if he’s going to play at a friend’s house. He’s probably learning the value of friends. And he may even be more willing to help around the house, doing chores like setting the table.

This month your baby’s hand-eye co-ordination is becoming much surer and he may really learn to put his hands to good use. He’ll become an expert in raking objects towards himself - and he’ll work out how to move something from one hand to the other. And once he learns that he can hold something in each hand, he’ll quickly realise how much fun it is to bang them together. He’ll want to practise this new skill, so if you think you can stand the noise, set aside one kitchen cupboard and fill it with baby-safe pots and pans for him to play with.
