This program teaches them that they are constantly communicating even when it doesn't seem like they are and it encourages parents to remain responsive and attentive to their children.

BabyCues educates caregivers to notice when their child is ready and interested in participating in their daily occupations and also when they aren't. It also encourages bonding between the mother and infant through the quality of the interaction instead of the quantity providing a positive correspondence with the cue and the interaction following it.
