Some Fun Things To Do!

  1. Help your child learn a new word. Maybe it will be a secret word the two of you share! Some families teach their children a “family word” to be used only in emergency situations.

  2. Find things which are all the same color, shape, size, type etc. when you are on a walk or car/bus ride. Have your child keep track of them and talk about them.

  3. Give your child a calendar of their own. Help them mark important dates in different colors.

  4. Let your child “teach” you something! Go along with their directions and see what happens.

  5. Sign up for a class and let your child see you actively engaged in learning.
