learning how to learn. Adults can nurture this curiosity. You can help
children learn how to learn. How can you help infants and toddlers achieve

that? Current research says the best way is by promoting exploration and

is a lot you can do to help young children learn. Here is a short list of ways

to support infants and toddlers in your care:
d. Model your own thinking skills. Think out loud. For example, you might

say, "Hmm. I really wanted to paint this part of my picture purple, but Josie
is using the purple paint. I think I'll paint this part yellow instead."

e. Find opportunities throughout the day to play "What if…?" games. Ask the

children questions like, "I wonder what sound this drum will make if I bang
on it?!" or "What if we run out of snack? What should we do?"

f. Give children lots of chances to explore concepts. Read books and promote
literacy development during individual and group activities, sing songs

about the stories you read, and encourage children to imitate story characters

with sounds or movements.
