Being in Tune with your infant/toddler

Language development is one of the important skills that your toddler needs before they get to pre-school and you must help your toddler to understand how  language works ,including the meanings,and the ability to respond appropriately  with the  correct language : for example if you ask your toddler what is your favorite color or how does your food taste.He should be able to respond by naming a color and saying words like delicious,spicy,hot,sweet or yucky .However, if you have not introduced these vocabulary your toddler will not be able to respond .
One your toddler has the grasp of a concept you transition them to the next one .

Here is a prefect example   John  who is three years and  and 8 months is now making comparisons , he will say thins like "Nana look the it is like my bag  " .  I will same to him" yes it is the same as your bag". He clearly understands the concept of the same because he  has been saying it for the last few weeks. This week we will introduce him to the word " different " and give him time to grasp the concept . We will us concrete examples .
 The first day we will use two of his cars and begin by saying "John look at these cars  one of them is different because it is bigger .I will just  mention that and leave it at that and allow him to continue playing. Another day we will  discuss his shoes and show why one is different . Once he gets the concept of difference we will use both words together . We will use two cars and a shoes and ask which ones are the same and which one is different.
In order for young children to learn concepts you must use concrete items and give them time to grasp the skill.You also have to be in tune with young children this enables you to move them alon the developmental line.
