Parenting Tips
The time we can spend with our young children is precious because we have so little of it. Playing learning games is a way to have fun with your child and help him learn at the same time. Children don't need a lot of expensive educational toys to learn. What they do need are parents who are their first and best teachers.
Tips to Keep Learning Fun:
-Pick the right time to spend together, not when your child is tired
or you are irritable.
-Play for short periods of time. Five to ten minutes is about right.
-Eliminate distractions: turn off the TV and put away other toys.
-Praise your child with a hug, smile or kiss.
-Be flexible!
-Your child may find new, fun ways to play learning games.
TV Guidelines for Toddlers (under age 2):
-Watch TV with your child.
-Explain what is going on during the program.
-Make sure the programs are appropriate in terms of language and
content.
-Teach children the difference between good and poor media exposure.
-Focus on physical activity as a counter to TV viewing
