PLAY AND PLAYTHINGS
Playing times are special.
They help you and your child share love and happiness, but play is not just a way to have fun. It is also one of the best ways to help children learn and grow. Play helps toddlers learn. When they play, toddlers learn how to use their bodies. They learn about the way things look, feel, stack, fall, and fit together. Playing games helps them to figure things out and later helps them to share and cooperate. All this will help your child to be the friendly, intelligent, and successful person you want him to be. Make play handy. Set things up to encourage play. Keep a drawer of safe things for your child to play with in rooms you use a lot so he can play and be near you. Keep a box of tub toys in the bathroom for bath-time play. Chnage toys for variety. Change the things you let your toddler play with from time to time to give him variety. Remember, the best toys can be things you already have around the house like plastic containers, wooden spoons, pans, empty cardboard cartons, pillows, and old magazines. Your child's self-esteem is made up of the thoughts, feelings, and ideas she has about herself. All together, these shape her ideas about how important, lovable, and capable she is.
