We were having dinner at home when my son, six months old, pulled the table cloth and poured everything on the floor. As hilarious as it was, I was a little disappointed that he disregarded my social cues when I sternly told him ‘no’ before pulling the table cloth. Could it be that his social referencing cues haven’t set in yet? At approximately what age does a baby begin to demonstrate social referencing?

Social referencing refers to the process of kids looking at the facial expressions of adults or those around them to determine how they should proceed in a certain situation. Think of it as what adults use to read social cues. For instance, when having a candlelit dinner, your little one may be tempted to touch the flame, but before they do, you will notice them looking at you first. If they sense fear and anxiety on your face, they will naturally hesitate. So, at approximately what age does a baby begin to demonstrate social referencing? Usually, social referencing kicks in between eight and ten months, but some kids can read social cues as young as six months. I wouldn’t be worried about it so much when kids are younger because they still have time to develop this skill.

Babies have different growing stages, my baby fully develop her social referencing around 1 year and a half old. She manage to understand some at the age of 7 months but it is their nature to do what is being told not to do. Even now that she is already 2 years old there are times that she's not responding to it, but mostly she does. Just keep on showing your facial expression when you are mad or when you are not approving what he was doing, eventually he can understand that while growing up.

I would say at about 2 years of age. A baby is more familiar with other people besides the mom. They also get used to their environment and can know who comes and goes by their short term memory. They also tend to have a strong sense of touch to people and can develop affections.

Child begins to develop theoir social referencing at age three. They will start learning to understand things around them. They will be concerned and take into account their behavior by the viewpoints, demands, attitudes and expectations of the people around then including cultural norms and values. Also, they will going to have the ability to respond on their social environment and can have more sophisticated look of people.

Social Referencing in Different Stages of Child Development

Infants as young as six months use social referencing to understand their parents and surroundings and their development continues throughout childhood and even into adolescence. Here is how social and emotional development occurs as children grow.

During Infancy

From birth to 6 months of age, your baby can look at his hands and legs, suck his fingers and respond to your smiles and touch. He can also smile at the different sounds you make and try to find out where he is being touched.

From 6 months to one year of age, he would have learnt to express pleasure, unhappiness and even anger while also being able to distinguish between strangers and family members. He also responds to your gestures to please you and feels sadness when taken away from you.

After Infancy

Between the ages of 1 and 2 years, he takes your cues before approaching a new object or going to a stranger. Express happiness when you praise him for something good that he does and imitate your speech and actions.

Between the ages of 2 and 4 years old, your child will display different moods and interests and express some autonomy while still using social referencing for everything.

From 4 to 8 years of age, your child will learn to interact and play with other children and stay friendly. He will also learn to follow the rules and play as part of a team and express specific interest in activities or subjects.
