• Show the child their photographs clicked over the years since their birth. Let
them tell you about the things that they could not do when they were smaller,
but could perform at present.
• Name a few body parts, and let them identify these and tell you their functions.
• Tell them about the changes they might experience as they grow up. Explain to
them with examples that certain things grow with time and may look different.
• Make them aware of some basic moods that they might feel in a day such as
happy, angry and sad. Encourage them to talk to you about how they are feeling.
This will make them aware of how they feel at a moment and talk freely about
their feelings with you. Let this be a very casual interaction. Make sure your
child does not consider this a task. Do not expect that they would be able to
express themselves accurately, but do not help them unless they ask for it.
• Visit a nearby garden with your child. Let them play around freely. Encourage
them to look for, and identify different colours and shapes during the walk.
• You can make them observe different shapes in their immediate surroundings,
for example, a plate, a window, etc. As your child brings some objects to you, ask
them to say the beginning sounds of their names. Take this as an opportunity
to revise the letters of the alphabet.
• Encourage them to identify the differences between two similar-looking objects
by observing the details, like shape, colour, etc.
• Familiarise them with a few polite words and greetings. Role-play different
situations to elicit responses involving polite words.
• Make the child practise lines and curves using crayons, or by tracing on sand.
• Recite poems or narrate bedtime stories to introduce your child to the world
of reading. Children love stories and they usually want to listen to the same
set of stories over and over again. This is because familiar stories provide them
pleasure and a sense of security, for they already know the plot and the sequence
of events.

• Show your family photograph to your child and ask them to identify themselves.
Make them understand the word ‘me’.
• Talk to your child about their likes, for example, what they like to eat, what they
like to wear, what they like to play, and so on.
• Similarly, talk to them about their dislikes. Let this be a very casual interaction.
Make sure your child does not consider this a task. Do not expect that they
would be able to express themselves accurately, but do not help them unless
they ask for it.
