Always be child’s advocate, but never become the teacher’s adversary. If you feel child has been wronged, defend her. Call the teacher, have a conference to work things out Ask child to teach you something she learned in school today. People remember 10% of what they read, 20% of what they hear, 30% of what they see. It may not seem like a milestone, but if your toddler snaps your photo with a wooden block (like a camera) or bundles her bear into a blanket, she’s made an important development leap. Talk to children & babies. While they may not understand initially, they are developing brain structures necessary for language literacy As your toddler explores, he becomes more aware of his own skills to investigate the world, building confidence and self-esteem. Language & speech are primarily learned through imitation & observation. During infancy, babies listen & they pay close attention Pause while reading to show pictures. Share reactions to the story through your voice or gestures & encourage child to react too. Infants and toddlers learn about and experience life through sense and motor explorations. They touch, taste, smell, observe, and move the world about them to make sense out of it. Children are natural scientists, and they learn by doing. Hold your child accountable for her own messes. Do it kindly, do it supportively, but do it, even when it’s easier to do it yourself. Rein in your own impatience. That doesn’t mean abandoning him to it. Stand by, smiling, ready to be helpful in whatever way actually helps your toddler. The best thing you can do when trying to improve hand-eye coordination with your child is to let your child play with the toys on her own. You may feel the urge to show your child how it works. But part of the fun with hand-eye toys is figuring out how they fit together and work. Do not push your child to ride a 2-wheeled bike until he or she is ready, at about age 5 or 6. Consider the child’s coordination and desire to learn to ride. From: aap.org Toddlers have a greater ability to acquire new skills and information than children who are 5, 6, or 7 years old. Research indicates that introducing reading, language, and math skills in the toddler years may make school success come more easily to your child for years to come. When kids are learning to speak play word games and say the ABC’s — in fact, singing things like the ABCs is a great way to get them to put the ideas together – kids can often sing songs like their ABCs long before they can use them in any practical sense. For kids with ADHD, you are your child’s best advocate. To be a good advocate for your child, learn as much as you can about ADHD and how it affects your child at home, in school, and in social situations. Build hand/eye coordinations and have fun in the tub. Fill a small tub with water and give your toddler several containers of different sizes. Build self esteem, compliment your child’s character. Tell them you think he or she is a great kid. Stimulate baby’s other senses of smell, touch & taste with variety of stimuli- Flowers to smell, velvet to touch & foods to taste |
