Learning happens when you include your child in your routines

You don't always have to set aside a block of time to teach your child. Just do the things you normally do, but do them together. Explain what you are doing. Let your child observe and ask questions. Let your child help you. Then, ask questions that encourage thinking: "Why do you think I do it this way?" "If it takes 15 minutes for the food to cook, and we want to eat at 6:00, what time should we put it in the oven?"
