Aroha atu, aroha mai
Understand what babies need by learning their cues and recognising what they are trying to communicate to us.
Learning goals
- Observe and read your babies cues.
- Recognise what babies are trying to communicate.
- Be able to respond positively.
Explore what babies need
Watch the Aroha atu, aroha mai video together.
You'll find the video and background information on this page:
If you can pause the video to discuss along the way, do so. Otherwise, watch the whole video and discuss at the end.
Have a general conversation to draw out key pieces of information. A few open questions will get the discussion going:
- What are some things babies need?
- How can their whānau help?
- What are some of the main messages in the video?
- What new things did you learn?
- If your friend had a new baby, what would you tell them are the most important things they should do?
