Encourage your child to be independent
It is natural to want to help your child do things. But be careful about
helping your child so much that he does not have a chance to learn how
the world works. For example:
You almost have
it, Dong Dong.
Just move your
hand a little
closer to the
tapping sound...
When a child drops a toy, it is
natural to want to pick it up and
give it to him...
...but he will learn more
if you help him find the
toy himself.
Make the best use of your child’s remaining sight
If your child can see a little, try to do
activities that make use of his remaining
sight. The next chapter explains how.
Since Norma seems to see things
better in bright light, I’ll put her
on a blanket with her toys here
in the patio while I wash the
clothes.
