Spend time together.
You are still her favorite role model.
The best thing you can do for your child’s emotional development is also the most natural. Love her. Be proud of her. Show her that she is capable of doing great things. And be there for her, whether she soars or falls.
You are still her favorite role model.
She can find comfort in the familiar, though you can vary it a little on special occasions.
Speak calmly and quietly until the storm passes.
Let her see you happy or sad when she is. This will help her build empathy.
Treat this one with patience, and try to understand where it's coming from.
Say the words for objects you see every day. Encourage her to say them back.
Start with predictable stories, so she can “read” them too.
Let her make faces and name her body parts.
Talk about what you see.
Set a good example with snacks, toys or books.
