Durante el periodo en que el cuidador no responde, el niño intenta llamar la atención del cuidador y, al no conseguirlo, empieza a mostrar signos de malestar físico y emocional. Cuando el cuidador vuelve a responder, se restablece la conexión entre él y el niño. El experimento demuestra hasta qué punto los bebés dependen de las respuestas de sus cuidadores para sentirse seguros, confiar en las personas de su vida y explorar el mundo. - [Still Face Experiment with Dads](https://nurturing-care.org/still-face-experiment-with-dads/) - "The still face experiment" developed by Dr. Ed Tronick in the 1970s asks caregivers to engage in normal responsive interactions, then become unresponsive (put on a "still face") for a few minutes, and then return to their normal repsonsive interactions with the child. During the period when the caregiver is unresponsive, the child tries to get the caregiver's attention and then failing to do so begins to show signs of physical and emotional distress. When the caregiver becomes responsive again we see the connection between the caregiver and child restored. The experiment shows how much babies depend on their caregivers' responses to help them feel safe, trust the people in their life, and explore the world. - [The Home Visit](https://nurturing-care.org/the-home-visit/) - This video, modelled on the Reach Up programme, illustrates a typical home visit in Jamaica focused on the promotion of responsive play and communication. - [Talking to Baby](https://nurturing-care.org/talking-to-baby/) - A childcare provider is interacting with a child under age 1.
