Your child's brain develops rapidly between birth and the age of two. Their ability to learn and develop will continue during the important early years of their life. Whilst modern technology has its benefits, try turning off the television or computer and take the time to create positive learning opportunities with your child.
The following activities are just a few ideas that can support your child's development:
• Sit on the floor and practice turn-taking by rolling a ball or car back and forth between you. Make eye contact before rolling, gain attention by calling your child’s name, and allow time for your child to respond.
• Social greetings – support your child to wave hello and goodbye. Encourage them to look at the person and model waving, give them help to wave too.
• Encourage your child to look at you when you speak, call their name to gain their attention
• Hold objects at eye level to encourage your child to look up and make eye contact with you.
• Encourage your child to communicate, do not anticipate his/her needs.
More activities will be posted to continue the supported of your child's development.
