Adapt activities for your child
A child can learn a certain skill in many different ways. You can adapt
the activities in this book to best suit your child, your family and your
community.
As you do activities with your child,
you will find ways of doing things
that interest him and make him
want to do something...
...and you will learn what upsets
him or makes him want to stop.
Noah seems to be
afraid to slide by
himself. But maybe
he will be willing to
try sliding if I stand
nearby and talk to
him.
I don’t have blocks
but these cans are
just as good.
You can adapt activities to make use of materials
you already have. For example, if an activity in
this book shows a child using a toy, you do not
need to make or buy that same toy. Instead, use
whatever is readily available.
