EVERY PARENT HAS WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A BRAIN BUILDER!
Brain building basics include:
1. Look- Make eye contact so you and your child are looking at each other.
2. Chat-Talk about the things you see, hear, and do together, and explain what's happening around you.
3. Follow-Take your child's lead by responding to their sounds and actions, even before they are old enough to talk. When they do start talking, ask follow up questions like "What do you think...?" or "Why did you like that?"
4. Stretch-Make each moment longer by building upon what your child does and says.
5. Take Turns-With sounds, words, faces and action, go back and forth to create a conversation or a game.
