Answer 3

children are like sponges they want to learn, hand eye coordination, reading yes reading, if you read to a child the same book every day, then start to leave out words let them fill in the blanks. it will amaze you. don't think because they are two or three that they are not capable. When I got my first computer I was in a microsoft word document inserting pictures to print off so that my granddaughter could color them, a few days later she came out of the room with several pictures printed, I asked where she got those from, she says I did it Nannie, I said how did you do that.. She said I watched you. She was 4. She watched how I opened a word document, insert pictures and print them off. I have never stopped her since and she is a whiz she is 11 now. colors, numbers, use beads to teach them to add, subtract once they know how to add and subtract they can multiply and divide. they are very very capable, don't under estimate, sing songs repeat rhymes, they will remember

Answer 4

Remember they learn through play. Use every opportunity to
"teach" numbers, colors, recognitiion of print, etc. Role model how to solve problems by using words not actions. Books are important---my group of 3 year olds know that the squiggley lines are letters that make up words that tell the title, author and illustrator. Just use every chance to involve them---they will absorb everything.

Answer 5

Now that I have my own newborn, i will't imagine putting him in daycare. he's eighteen months previous and that i stay homestead with him (and experience fortunate to be ready to take action). i did not have a career previously starting to be pregnant, so there change into no longer an difficulty with operating or something like that. i understand there are tremendous and not in any respect so tremendous daycares, yet i don't experience i might want to be smooth letting others watch my son. ETA: interpreting the answer above mine gave me an negative psychological photo and feeling. adverse toddlers.

Go to the library and check out books on early childhood development.
