Children who cannot do 2 skills in any part of the circle will benefit from activities that help children
develop in that area, but the pictures are only examples of skills. For example, in the Mental part of
the circle: Your child does not have to be able to play a drum. The question to ask yourself is if your
child uses 2 objects together.
Keep in mind that a child will learn best by doing activities that other children the
same age do in your community.
