How you can help
Helping young children develop all areas of their body and mind
through planned opportunities to experience, explore and play with
things is called ‘stimulation’ or ‘early assistance.’ In this book you will
find many simple activities that can be done as you play with your child
or as you do your daily work. You can also adapt these activities so they
fit with your child and your daily life. For example:
What’s
making
that
noise?
What a big noise,
Oscar! Listen! I can
make a noise just
like you.
If you get your baby’s attention
with a noisy toy and show him the
sound it makes...
...he will be more interested in playing.
He will also learn to pay attention to
sounds and where they come from.
That’s the tire,
Yaso. When the bike
goes, the tire goes
around.
I’m riding too!
If you encourage a child to use his
sense of touch, hearing, and smell to
find out what objects are like…
…he will learn more about the
world and be able to talk about
what he knows.
