When you are at any marketplace with your child, tell them what is your list of items that you are going to get. Then ask them where do you need to start? What is the next item according to the list? What would be closer? If the child doesn't know then teach them some clues that you use to find the items.
-
Vacation time. I know that the majority of you bring books to the kids for them to read. That is a wonderful idea! Also, you can bring a journal for them to explain how they are feeling on every day or any problem that might present they can write it down and try to solve it.
-
Car time. During any ride to anywhere, encourage your child to do skip counting. They can start from any number. For example; counting by 2's starting on 3...5, 7, 9,..etc.
