Hello everyone 👋

I’m a new parent and trying to be more Focused to helping my toddler learn everyday skills — things like talking, understanding emotions, routines, colors.

There’s is so many things available online, although those are not looking practical so I wanted to ask real parents here:

Please share me your experience with me also for make it simple for me as well. How can I tech to my toddler that works for me? Which routine or activities I follow specific? I am not looking for perfection, just practical experience of the everyone that help is our toddler learn and grow. Thanks so much! 😊

This, 100%.

Talk to them, not in baby talk. And let them try and fail at things, like zipping up their coat, putting on clothes, etc.

To clarify, don’t use nonsense gobbledygook words. Do speak slowly, pitched/melodically, drawing out vowels, and with special emphasis on key words, and using shorter, simpler sentences— which tends to be instinctual for most parents. It’s known as Child-Directed Speech or CDS in linguistics and has been proven to be beneficial for the child. Do not try to avoid this instinct by forcing yourself to speak as if to an adult, it’s built in for a reason.
