Young kids love learning about their world and recognizing and talking about letters is a huge step! There are so many fun ways to get your child looking at, talking about and recognizing letters.
You can easily practice these skills and get their little hands moving with these great ideas:
– Tracing basic shapes or letters
– Cutting straight lines
– Gluing
– Stacking building blocks
Taking turns can be hard, but starting to introducing this at a young age is so important! A fun way to easily introduce this idea to your child is by taking turns with them while you play.
Sharing and taking turns goes hand in hand. This is a skill that children have to learn, but also have to be taught and practicing with your child is the best way to do this!
Model, model, model! I know that seems to be a common theme around many of these social skills, but the best way to teach children is to model whatever we want them to do.
