Question for parents?

Question

How would you support your child's learning through three different activities such as cooking, dress up, story telling, painting, role plays etc

Answer 1

dramatic play takes them to the edge of their communication abilities and allows for further growth and also gives them time for creative thinking. story telling, DEFINITELY, by making them repeat a story they know or one you have just read to them. this helps them in vocabulary building so that they may have great success in reading and is included in pre reading and reading activities as is role playing. all these things help in the learning process. any learning activities you do with your child will come back to them tenfold, never doubt it.

Answer 2

Music is an EXCELLENT way. Specifically drums (just using an ice cream pail and popsicle sticks will do), they are supposed to make your child smarter. I would also encourage writing and drawing no matter what the current level. For the more active child, try a game that makes them think but move around, too. The whole family could play cranium together! Try to be supportive and give lots of encouragement and praise. They can also make GAK or slime, that's "messy play" but also great! Do gear it towards the child's interest or see if you can develop a new one. God bless!

Answer 3

Cooking with kids is great because it involves math skills (fractions), it also teaches about the importance of cleanliness, as well as proper portion sizes.

Also, the other activities are very good for fostering creativity. The important thing is to allow your child to express themself and HAVE FUN.

Answer 4

bake cookies, cout how many you made with him/her then divide them in half and have him count them again (the halved #) then let him/her have a cookie to reward him/ her for doing so well. also do small science experiments with him/ her...you can find a bunch on the web that are alot of fun. play maching games with the alphebet if he/ she is that young what is the "c" etc. invent stories that will help your child remember things... the solar system My Verry Excited Mother Just Served Us Nothing (was Nine Pizzas) but pluto isnt a planet i guess...but its mercury, venus, earth, mars, jupiter, saturn, uranus, neptune, just things like that

Answer 5

This is all very important - it's creative play for the child! It develops their imagination and creative skills - I completely support it / encourage it! It's MUCH better for children than tv or video games! (BTW - it's also very "telling" sort of play. If you pay attention while they're playing like this, you may discover how your toddler child is being treated / what they're being exposed to when you're not around by the way they play with their toys. I've noticed my granddaughter talkings to her dolls the way her mother talks to her....)

Answer 6

My mom did all those sort of things with me. To help me read, i read to my mom once i started learning to read. Role play how to act if someone strange talks to them, or what to do in case of emergency, or if they are lost. For painting, do shapes, colors, making colors. For cooking, you could do measuring, reading measurments.

Answer 7

ive seen on tv were they say let the kids help cook but make it fun and safe for them. they call it kids in the kitchen, helps them learn things like texture, taste , even measuring things helps them learn math. reading. just make it fun and let them be kids .might want to check on the cooking channel on the net, it may have more ideas.
