Did you know that recognizing their own reflection is a key developmental milestone for babies? 🪞👶 According to a foundational study by Amsterdam (1972), babies begin responding to their reflection early on—an early sign of self-awareness and identity. This self-recognition is more than just cute moments in the mirror; it's the beginning of your child’s social and emotional development. Mirror play can also help: ✨ Build self-confidence ✨ Support cognitive growth ✨ Encourage body awareness and emotional understanding Try playing together in front of a mirror—make silly faces, name body parts, and let your baby interact with their reflection as part of everyday play. The Charmer Play Kit (for 3–4 months) includes a baby-safe framed mirror, designed to support this important stage. 💛 Thanks to @makingmilliestones for capturing these sweet mirror moments! 🙏 Reference: Amsterdam, B.
