Children learn
to communicate the moment they are born. Newborns cry when they have needs.
They may be afraid, hungry, wet, cold, or frustrated. Even before they can
talk, toddlers begin to communicate their wants and needs to adults. As
children grow, their methods of communicating begin to change too.
Whether your child is a newborn or a
four-year-old, you are preparing him/her for school. By interacting with your
child, you are developing language skills, physical skills and emotional
behavior.
In this
lesson, you will find simple activities to do with your child(ren) that will
