Listening and speaking
"What did you think when you saw this book?"
• Help your child become a creative thinker by asking: "Suppose ..." "What do you think ..." "What if ..."
• Encourage your child to talk with older family members and youth. A child learns to put ideas into words when he has lots of opportunities to speak.
• Help your child choose a few television shows that are special just for children of similar age and interests. Talk with your child about what you see and hear. "Are they like those of tigers at the zoo?" Ask questions to find out what the child learns. "Is that our family do things like the family in the show? How are we different? "
• Use television wisely. Talk and enjoy each other's company at family meals. Think of things your child can do instead of watching television, books look like, play with his brothers and sisters, or drawings.
Helping caregivers of your child:
Tell the caregiver about the things your child does at home. This will help start conversations with your child's caregiver and encourage your child to talk.
