You might think that a certified teacher is the only person who can teach your child. Did you know, though, that you are your child's first teacher? Yes, it's true! Parents are not only the primary caretakers of their children, but they are also their first teachers. With a little help, you can teach your preschooler at home.
At first, teaching preschool may seem like a lot, but if you are patient and take your time with your child, the time you spend together can be fun and rewarding for both of you. To teach your preschooler, all you need is love, patience, guidance, and a few activities you can do at home.
When you teach your kids in preschool, you can help them learn skills in language, math, social development, and science, among other things. To make a place good for learning, you need to make it quiet and fun at the same time.
When you teach preschool, some of the things you should do with the kids are reading, listening, writing, learning about numbers, patterns, sequencing, counting, getting to know themselves, teaching them good character traits, and getting them to notice the world around them. Here are some easy ways to help people learn these skills:
- Make a place to read in your home
- Read aloud
- Help kids learn how to take care of their own things.
- Teach them the right way to blow their nose
- Teach kids how to brush their teeth the right way
- Get musical instruments for kids
- Get kids to use puppets to tell stories.
- Tell people to wash their hands often and talk about how important it is for health to kill germs
- Teach kids how important it is to eat healthy foods
- Get people to write by having them make lists
- Talk about money and the toy store
- Teach your child how to call 911 in an emergency.
- Count things at the same time
- Sing and act out parts of the songs together
- Give more complicated directions over the phone
- Say rhymes out loud.
By taking the time to talk to your child, listening to your child, and encouraging your child to ask questions, you are strengthening their ability to understand and grasp the world around them. You should always spend quality time with your child and encourage him or her to explore the world around them.
