Activity for toddlers- Big and Small

 






Mothers always remember unconditional love and acceptance are the most important building stones for developing a baby's brain (at any age). 

 

Sit with your child in a comfortable position, mostly on a clean mat placed on the floor. So little chance of child falling off the bed/sofa. Have little or no disturbance when you carry out these activities with your baby. The room where you sit with the child must be neat and organised and have little or no noise and other distraction. 

I remember from my preschool teaching days, doing the same thing. We were instructed and we followed too, to take out one material out in the room to be presented to children. To get their maximum attention.


How to teach Big and Small to toddlers:- 


👉🏻Take two plastic building blocks, one big and one small. 


👉🏻Talk to the baby about the difference in size,

'This is the big block and this is the small block. 


👉🏻Take the small block- it fits easily in your hand. Take the large block- your hand can only hold it. 


👉🏻Put the block down on the mat, point at it and say: "This is the big block. This is the small block". 


👉🏻Take the child's hand and let him touch the blocks and repeat: "This is the big block. This is the small block". 


👉🏻Now ask the child: "Give me the big block". Praise the child if he succeeds- clap hands and hi-If. 


👉🏻Do the same with the small block. Repeat the activity few more times, with little variations such as, 'Put the small block onto the big block,' or, throw me the small block. 



And voila ! Your child knows how to distinguish between big and small. And also you have fed his vocabulary with many new words, such as: 

-Big

-Small

-Block

-Give 

-Throw


This activity I learnt when I use to teach in a preschool. And the toddlers learn it very quickly. 


Let me know if you want to know about such activities or rather wait for my upcoming blogs for more toddler activities.

How to get your child to read

Image
Every parent wants his/her child to be a reader. Some children develop this habit on their own and some with little effort from parents can easily master it.   As a parent if you are struggling to inculcate reading habits in your children, you need to first identify the underlying problem with it.  Few of the struggles with the child/parent face can be:- 👉🏻 It sometimes happens that child has not been right phonics knowledge. Does he have issues with fluency of the language ?  👉🏻 Low vocabulary build up can also be the reason for child not wanting to read. It happens that child is only guessing the words in the books because of poor vocabulary skills. But whatever the cause, if your child feels that reading is too much work, begin by identifying and addressing his areas of weaknesses. As he becomes a better reader, he will enjoy reading much more. No, you need not need to worry at all. This is no rocket science. Just a few lifestyle changes will help....
