On-the-Go-Learning

Talk, talk, talk...

Talk about what will happen next...You are about to go in a store, ask "what are we going to see in the store, what are we going to look for in the store, etc."

You are about to go into the doctor's office, ask "what is going to happen next, what do you think you will see?, etc."

You are about to visit grandma or go to a friend's house, ask "what do you think will happen?"

You are going to the library, ask "what do you think will happen in the library?, who do you think we will see, etc."

These little conversations develop logical thinking skills, vocabulary, language and conversation skills and more! It seems so simple, but generally we don't discuss things with children and I don't mean treating them like little adults because they are not, but simply just talking to them. It's such a simple thing that it is often not thought of having such a big impact, but it helps a child's brain develop during the crucial time when permanent connections in the brain are being formed.
