Simple ways to promote early learning in our young children
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
|
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! |
