Different learning approaches for your infant/toddler
You should ask your infant/toddler open ended questions this will help them to become self-motivated thinkers, yes even if they are not speaking as yet remember that from birth to a age 3 the brain has the most growth. Provide a variety of experiences for your infant/toddler. Infants/toddlers learn with all their senses ,their learning is multi-sensory. Infants/toddlers learn through discoveries therefore you must allow your infant/toddler to explore freely by creating a safe space. When the space is safe it encourages creativity and remember if your infant/toddler put a pot on her head and say "look my hat" you should not say "that's not a hat it is the pot". You should encourage it by saying "wow that is a great hat". Your infant/toddler is engaged in pretend play and she is developing her imagination. This skill is needed for school and life.
