Hello everyone 👋
I’m a new parent and trying to be more Focused to helping my toddler learn everyday skills — things like talking, understanding emotions, routines, colors.
There’s is so many things available online, although those are not looking practical so I wanted to ask real parents here:
Please share me your experience with me also for make it simple for me as well. How can I tech to my toddler that works for me? Which routine or activities I follow specific? I am not looking for perfection, just practical experience of the everyone that help is our toddler learn and grow. Thanks so much! 😊
Narrate your life.
When you are around them, just explain what you are doing and why, what you can see/hear etc.
Describe your memories of other times a similar event hapened and how it was the same or different.
Ask questions of them and then pretend they have answered(if they are not speaking yet). Be a little theatrical, showing a range of emotions and tones, but mostly light and cheery.
This expands vocabulary, models socialisation/conversation, and increases your bond.
This right here. I talked with my kid from day one. Not baby speech, but like I would be talking to a young child. Of course there was some baby speak as well, but mostly just keep talking all the time. Sing to them, doesn’t matter if you’re good. Teach them childrens songs. And when they start understanding and doing things on their own - show and explain everything. And always try to remember that they have no reference for anything, everything is new to them, even the most trivial things.
