Increasing your child’s thinking skills
As your child develops, he must learn to use his skills to form more
complete ideas about the world around him. You can help by providing
him with many different opportunities to learn about his world.
To increase your child’s thinking skills
Help your child learn more about
objects by teaching him to feel the
whole object, even when it is very
large. Encourage him to identify the
object’s size, shape, weight, and feel.
I’ll put Raimon on
my shoulders so
he will know how
big the tree is.
If your child can see a little, ask him to describe objects to you or to draw
them. This way you will know if he sees well enough to understand what
the object really looks like. If he has not seen the object correctly, explain
what it is like.
What a nice dog.
Can you tell me
what he looks
like?
