GETTING STARTED WITH INDEPENDENT PLAY//SIX-MONTH-OLD BABY SPENCER HAS FIVE MINUTES OF SOLO PLAY//

Spencer loves his bell, so it was a good toy to start independent play with.

Six-month-old babies may be content to play by themselves for five minutes.

However, it is important not to leave them completely alone; stay no more than several feet away so you can supervise them adequately.

Independent play is important for a baby's growth and development.

An article in Parents states that: "Solo play provides a variety of learning opportunities, allowing kids to explore their environment at their own pace, become more self-reliant, focus their attention, and learn from their mistakes. As an added bonus, all of these experiences boost a child's self-esteem."
