CreativePlay Plus: Ideas in Play and Child Development

When reading to infants and toddlers do you find yourself describing the pictures your child points to? If so, that’s great! Dr. Kessler, emphasized when reading to young children, it is important to spend time looking carefully at the pictures and describing what you see. This helps infants and young children to connect the pictures with the words they hear and helps them piece together the story. Additionally, this action helps children pay attention to details that are not only contained in what you’re saying, but what they are looking at.
