Wanna teach your little to follow directions...Kee

Wanna teach your little to follow directions...Keep it Simple! ⁣
⁣
Listening and understanding are essential to being able to follow directives. ⁣
⁣
Here’s how to help: ⁣
1. Keep your instructions simple and at a level that is appropriate for understanding⁣
⁣
2. Pair your directions with a gesture⁣
⁣
3. Give time for them to process ⁣
⁣
4. Check for understanding by asking them to repeat what you want them to do (talkers) ⁣
⁣
5. Always reinforce a correct follow through ⁣
⁣
🚨MILESTONE ALERT‼️- By 12 months your child should be able to follow one-step directions such as “Come Here”, “Sit Down”, “Give it to me”⁣

Little people don’t want to be quizzed; especial

Little people don’t want to be quizzed; especially while playing (I’m guilty of it too 🤦🏾‍♀️). Instead, create a language rich environment by offering comments in lieu of questions. ⁣
⁣
What does that look like 🤔⁣
Instead of saying: “What color is this?” ⁣
👉🏾 Try saying: “Wow, that’s a shiny red car, beep-beep”⁣
⁣
“What animal do you see?”⁣
👉🏾 Look at that pink pig, oink, oink”⁣
⁣
“Can you make a train sound?”⁣
👉🏾 “Train...chug, chug, choo-choo”⁣
⁣
💡Take away:⁣
👉🏾 make your communication interactions enjoyable by modeling language you would like to hear, not by playing 20 questions 😉⁣

It’s all about the MO (motivating operation)! Kids are more likely to participate and attend when highly preferred items/activities are utilized. ⁣
⁣
☝🏾Remember: A child who can’t attend is probably not learning‼️Attention is the foundation in which all learning is built upon. ⁣
