I Love School |
As the little ones grow and look at world with wonder in their eyes. The responsibility of teaching kids worldly manners, compassion and much more rests on shoulder of parents. A toddler of 2 to 2.5 year is most ready for a play school. Initially he may make some fuss but you can be assured kids love making friends and enjoy different activities they learn. Every new activity learned for them gives a sense of accomplishment and builds their confidence for kindergarten. The love for school and learning is laid down in kids mind is early years so kindergarten holds are special place.
For kids at toddler stage more that education and books, it is important to learn about things around them, become imaginative and social.
If you don’t want to send toddler to play school, here are few things which you can teach to your toddler so as to be ready for kindergarten:
- Teach the child about self, family, home.
- Teach kid to self-care. Potty training, washing hands, self feeding etc
- Read interesting story book to your kid with expression – These may be fairy tales or animal books.
- Do activities for motor skills, like spooning activity, building blocks etc
- Make a routine for child morning chores time, prayer time, breakfast time, playing time, story time, snack time etc
- Once in a while show them a fun children movie pair it with a book
- Encourage socializing – Take kid out to play with kids his age in park, Plan kids outings, make kid familiar with outside world
- Make a kids space that is organised, colorful and full of creativity
- Teach kids sharing
- Get few Play school books and play with kid matching games, sorting games, counting games, and board games. These help kids develop their mental skills and learn math easily at later stage
- Teach alphabet, numbers through activity books, songs and other fun methods
- Teach colors and shapes
- Teach body parts, days in the week, months
- maintain a progress report to know weak areas
Mostly teach them expression, communication, self-care and being social. Little bit of learning and bit of art and craft should suffice. These early years are theirs to the enjoy the play time time as well as to have fun while learning.
