Make the most of your time together with a range of activities that are fun for both of you.
You can encourage your toddler's cognitive development simply by playing with him. Plus, it's pretty nice for you too. Whatever you do, let him know that you're proud of him, and that it's okay to make mistakes.
Even for 5 or 10 minutes. He's learning words by hearing you say them. Name objects in the books and let him point to them.
Make it a conversation, and listen when he talks.
He truly believes he's invisible when he holds his hands over his eyes. How fun is that?
You'll be surprised how much he knows.
If he says “car,” make it into a sentence.
When friends and family call on the phone, put pictures near the phone so he can see who's talking to him.
An excellent study in cause-and-effect.
New playgrounds. The grocery store. The children's room at the library.
Help him color on paper with them, and learn NOT to eat them!
But not too many!
