Weekly ABC's: Attention, Bonding & Communication for Toddlers

Attention

Observing My World

Look up in the sky with your child. What do you see? Do you see any airplanes? Point out anything that you talk about and use the attention-grabbing word, "Look". Want more to look at? Take a trip to the airport together and talk about all that you see.

Bonding

Feeling Safe and Secure

We have been experimenting and thinking about the ideas of sink and float. Conduct a sink and float experiment during bath time or while washing dishes. Be safe and have fun!

Communication

Reporting My Finds

Sing this song to the tune of "I'm a Little Teapot"

I'm a little airplane,

Here I go!

Flying up high

Flying down low.

I'm a little airplane,

In the sky.

Watch me now

I love to fly!

Reading Out Loud With Your Preschooler

Guided reading is a special time for both parents and children. In this video, you’ll get a look at some of the most effective ways to lead your preschooler in reading out loud.

A huge part of reading together is making sure to have fun and not rush. Don’t forget to focus on the cover, as your child can glean important information by reading the title of a story. Remember to read with expression and engage your child as you go along. A love of reading is best encouraged by parents, so dig into as many books as you can!

Your child’s learning skills are greatly enhanced by a preschool education. To learn more, contact Children’s Learning Adventure at (888) 674-1487.
