“TIPS” for parents
As a parent, you hold the key to your child’s early learning and development. Everything you do with your child, from the day he is born, contributes to his knowledge and his self-confidence. “Tips for Turning Everyday Activities into Learning Activities” provides activity ideas that help parents promote early learning in seven important areas of development. Most can be done in the course of your daily routines.
