Simple ways to promote early learning
in our young children
 Every
moment in a young child's life is a learning experience. You can help
young children learn by spending time with them, talking to them,
reading and playing with them.
Here are other ways you can promote early learning in the young
children in your life.
Babies
|
Babies need to feel safe and secure in
order to grow and develop. Babies connect with others through
physical touch. Hold babies, touch them when you talk to them.
And talk to them right away. Babies learn sounds from the words
that they hear right from birth. |
Toddlers
(1-2 yrs)
|
Toddlers are just learning the names for things, so say the
names of objects in the room, objects you are playing with. You
can build the child's vocabulary by describing familiar objects. For example,
when you say "dog," add "big dog" or "yellow dog." |
Preschoolers
|
Give preschoolers the chance to express
themselves by asking open-ended questions, like "I wonder how
that works?" "What other things did you do today?" This sparks
creativity and builds vocabulary in the child, and is fun for
both of you! |
