HOW TO ENTERTAIN A 1 YEAR OLD | EMILY NORRIS

Thank you so much I am babysitting a one year old for the first time ever and it is also my first time babysitting this helped so much

This was pretty helpful, thanks. I'm babysitting for the first time for a non family member and I'm looking after two 1 year olds while I'm used to my niece and nephew who are 6 and 4! Obviously there's a few things on your list that I wouldn't do at someone else's house but it was still a great reminder for where the kids will be at in development and what they'll enjoy!

1:15, your welcome

You are so attentive to your child! Thank you for sharing your experience. It will really help me be a better Chacha to my nephew! Thanks again, Emily!

This is amazing. I honestly think what other people would think is a "bad idea" is an AMAZING idea!

Such an amazing mumma and beautiful family. Thank you for sharing a realistic look at raising children. As a mum myself, it's much appreciated xx

this was so helpful thank you!! i’m 16 but my sister is nearly 17 months old and i try to keep her occupied so my mum can do stuff around the house, i’ll definitely try some of these with her!! ☺️

They're really lucky to have such a mom!

I love the foil blanket idea. I've added one to my amazon cart and we'll see how the kids like it

Thank you so much for a video with fun but simple ideas, there's nothing complicated or expensive and your beautiful boy seems to be loving them. I'll be sure to try some of these out with my now 14mth old 😊

It’s funny watching older videos. You thought 12 thousand people watching your videos was a lot and this one currently has 542 thousand and will probably be in the millions in a couple of years! So Crazy but completely understandable !! Thanks for the countless ideas and advice!!

I feel like such a bad mom because I can't think of these things for my baby to do. 😞

My 1 yr old would never sit in the sink like that! He'd be over the edge in seconds! He's also not walking and way tinyer than your lad! I hope he's developing ok! Thanks for all the tips this is a challenge some days! 🤯 xx

I've been having a hard time entertaining my twins and 1yr old, outside it's very hot right now in Vegas. Thanks so much this is a great video!

Lots of people commenting seems upset about Emily not giving Caleb's exact age. Interestingly, in videos where moms do this, people get annoyed that they are giving age in months and not years. To people concerned about the developmental stage, as you must know, kids are different...some are even born with one or two teeth! And the McClure boy is a good example of an infant walking before he's one. Caleb's 2nd, 3rd and 4th birthday videos are uploaded in october. Maybe that's his birth month. This video was uploaded in Jan. So maybe he is 15 months old in this.

Omg, I MELTED at 3:25. SUCH A SWEET BABY.

My baby refuse to play with his normal toys. He enjoys digging my trashbin, opening my kitchen and room drawer, playing with my pots and baking tray and tools, open his cabinet and throw out his clothes, playing with my husband computer, cables, and his stuffs, playing water anywhere he can find especially if I forgot to close my toilet door he will play the water in the toilet bowl!, he enjoys playing at the playground too, grabbing leaves, sands, stones whatever he can find and put into his mouth to taste, oh he enjoy fighting over tv remote, plug off tv cables or any cables that attached on the wall. Sometimes I was surprised why my tv suddenly shut off. I guess it's good that my baby is so active? For now I have to lock my drawers using my husband belts. So he won't be able to dig the trashbin. I hope my baby is normal and new mom experiencing this too??

Very nice ideas. All completely valid 5 years on, and I'm glad I found your channel.

Thank you for sharing I have tried these with my 1 year old and he loves them mainly the foil blanket it has really helped alot as I do online schooling I would have never thought of half the things that you mentioned

Great video, I really enjoyed your 6 month one too, its always good to get more ideas from others about how to entertain my little man, Caleb is very well developed and seems to be much more switched on than many other 1 year olds, must be your wonderful influence!! You're a natural at this and ignore some of the silly comments, you're obviously a fantastic mummy!!
