Remember how children learn
When you are teaching a child a new skill, he will learn it in stages.
First, he learns to do
the skill with help.
Put your arms up
like this, José, to
protect you.
Then he remembers
how to do it all by
himself.
Finally, he uses
the skill in new
situations.
Good, José.
Now you know
how to walk
safely outside,
too.
Try to be aware of all 3 stages as you teach your child. Remember, also,
that all children need a lot of practice before they completely learn a
new skill.
