The window shift

When a baby stares or watches quietly they are taking in a great deal, and everything seen, heard, touched and smelled accumulates into the picture of their surroundings they are building. A window does that work for you, at whatever pace they set.

๐Ÿงบ You need

any window with something moving outside it

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Stand well back from the glass with both feet on the floor โ€” never on a chair, a stool or a sill, and never with the window open in front of you. Blind and curtain cords are a strangulation risk and must be tied up and out of reach before you stand there. One hand stays under the head and neck the whole time.

The window shift

Pick the quietest window with something moving

Leaves, washing on a line, a slow street. Busy and bright is not better here โ€” pick the calm one.
