Ask your child, “Can you do what I do?” Walk forward or backward, bend down, or reach up high. Talk with them about what you’re doing like, “Touch your toes and touch the sky!” Then give them a turn to lead. Change the game and see if they can do the opposite of what you do.
See what your child is learning
