Following directions

Understanding and  directions  and being able to follow them is very important. You should give your infant/toddler directions for example : put your bottle on the table or give me your bottle. At first your baby will not understand but with time and repetition she will understand the language. Following directions is a very important skill that is needed for school. Bing able to follow directions also help with Guidance  . Guidance is  when you   explain to your toddler the behavior that you want and your toddler will begin learning how to cooperate and begin to develop self-discipline. You should use "Dos  instead of Donts" You should explain the behavior that you want. This way your toddler will understand what you want from her.
You will be helping to develop the following areas of the brain:
Wernicke's area –

area located in the temporal lobe that plays a critical role in the ability to understand meaningful speech.
Broca's area –structure located in the frontal lobe of the brain that controls the production of spoken and written language
You are preparing your toddler for reading .
