Stroller advisor
Interaction with your child is also important when out strolling
Studies performed by Sissel Unger, specialist in clinic psychology, and Anne Carling, showed that the importance of child interaction performed even while out strolling with your child develop social as well as learning skills.
An extract of an interview with Sissel regarding her studies and findings can be read below.
"Small children most of all want to see their parents when out riding the stroller. Therefore it's important to have the stroller faced towards the parent. And try to place the child as high as possible, so that you constantly have close eye contact and interaction.
Make sure that you go for walks on the child's premises: The child most of all wants to have interaction, closeness and dialogue with you. Then it feels safe. You must never place the child in a position making them feel abandoned and alone. I would not turn the driving direction at all, at least not before the child has become two years old.
Self-confidence and the ability to establish contact and attachment are developed in interaction between parent and child. Therefore you should always choose contact building surroundings. Remember, you are out walking with your child."
