What can I do to help my baby and toddler learn counting and numbers.

What can I do to help my baby and toddler learn counting and numbers.

Children learn best when they’re interested in something. If a child is doing something they are particularly interested in – be it about dinosaurs, dolls, cars, building, insects or whatever – we can use and explore maths concepts with they while they play.

However, learning happens at a different pace for each child and it is important to remember to have fun and make memories while doing all this. While there are teaching opportunities in everything, there are also opportunities to bond, build social skills, make friends etc.

How to impart multilingual skills to your child!

Adults can learn langauges to keep their brain function better and stave off issues like Alzheimer's disease. 

It makes travelling more fun and exciting - Yes, knowing a local language is a great advantage when travelling. 

It opens up the world for work and leisure. - Imagine all the books you can read, the jobs that you can apply for in different countries or just commmunicate with more people - when you know more languages.
