What to teach my son?

Question

I see all these posts about teaching babies to wave, point, point to body parts, etc. I have no idea what I should be teaching my son, when to teach it and how to teach it. Like how do you actually teach him to point at things? By just doing it myself? Do I grab his hand and point with it? 
How do you know what to work on and how to work on it?
What is everyone currently working on?

Answer

My son has learned how to wave and clap with a combo of watching his big sister and us and me moving his arms in a clapping or waving motion, in context. Like waving bye to grandma or clapping at the end of a song. I do not remember when my daughter learned body parts but I thought it was a0 bit older. For that she prob learned from reading books? I dont remember teaching her

Answer

Just by copying, talking and singing to them. I sing pat-a-cake with my son a lot so he sometimes does a funny hand thing when I say roll it. To be honest I think Feb babies are pretty young to be pointing to body parts. Like they might touch their head but actually associating the word to the body part will come later.

Answer

Playing, singing and talking to them are the best things you can do at this age. I occasionally find some good activities on Instagram but generally I just go with what she’s interested in.

Answer

When your playing, read to him and talk to them. They learn the best by watching you. If you wanted to yeah body parts point to your nose and say “nose” and then point to their nose and say it. They will learn to point by watching you :).

Answer

Just encourage them to copy you. I'm not bothered about teaching to point.
I'll eave to my baby in the hope she will try copy me.
Haven't even tried to get her to recognise body parts . No rush for that

Answer

I read books to my daughter and point at pictures. She mimics. I point to her eyes, nose, cheek and she points to mine. She just mimics what she is seeing.
