Activities Suited to Children Aged One to Two

I always say it is a waste for a child of this age not to learn something new every day, at least one thing …

So how do I teach him when he still has no speech and no comprehension??
Not all learning is writing …
At this age the first priority is developing motor skills …
You will find that he later becomes a brighter child with better comprehension, and we will not struggle as many mothers do with a three-year-old who cannot hold a pencil..
(And I do not mean writing, because I am against that; I mean drawing, colouring, scribbling, expressing anything from his own point of view)

At this age his visual perception is high
You will find that he does not understand colours or know their names, but he senses a visual match between things that resemble one another …

At this age he can learn sorting
From it he will learn logic, balance, how to order his thoughts and his life, and orderliness …

At this age he is very pleased with himself, clapping and praising himself when he does something correctly …

At this age he has more patience than an older child and will try once, twice, three times..

At this age he is curious and loves exploring and what lies behind things…

Working with him really does produce results, and this work is enjoyable rather than exhausting, and worthwhile rather than a waste of time.

Everything you do now you will see the value of later, when he is a little older and you see him among his friends, ahead of his age and different.
