Advice and tips for teaching young babies (>1)

Hi all
I’ve been teaching my daughter since she was 6 month-old (she’ll be 10 months in a week or so) and thought we could collect a few tips.

Mine would be:

  • Put your material in many convenient places, in as many rooms as you can.
    My daughter’s been a very active baby early on and I have to jump on the slightest availability (when she is not busy dancing, babbling, crawling after a ball or shaking a toy) to flash or show her a few signs.

  • Do not start to many things at once… it’s better to have a limited but consistent program, and don’t be discouraged if you haven’t done anything in days.

-If I had to do it again, I’d start even earlier, before my daughter was able to roll over, crawl, climb etc.

Any more tips for little ones?

_ When baby becomes a peek-a-boo fan (around 6, 7 months of age in our case), you can play it with the flashcard. I do it when she is having a bath to get her attention, she goes looking for the card and then concentrate for the 5 seconds of the presentation… Or hide them behind your back when you’re both on the floor or in the high-chair.

Change your material each week. This makes it easy to remember when you need to move on. Show your materials Sunday through Saturday and then switch.
